Y'all, did you know that it's a privilege to experience misogyny, actually. Oppression has come full circle. We're now actually privileged for being oppressed. We've done it. We've solved all the world's problems.
most notably, what oop is misunderstanding, is that trans men who DO NOT PASS, have not medically transitioned yet, and are only freshly out, are seen as confused women. the narrative of transphobes flips on its head as soon as you ACTUALLY start to look like a man to them; you become a third gender, nonhuman predator in their mind. if you were there for Irreversible Damage, that's the entire point. trans men who have "already transitioned"/pass are evil predators who corrupt innocent "girls" into joining their cult. trans men aren't "not seen as a third gender", we are tactically coerced into staying women by being treated like we're confused and incapable of autonomy, and when that fails we are unceremoniously dropped into the evil tranny category, because it was only ever about trying to prevent us from leaving our assigned role as women. I watched this happen in real time with my terf stepmom; she Apparently loved me and was not aggressive when I came out, but she very assertively tried to convince me I was a confused woman who was just mentally ill and didn't know what I was doing, and needed help to "love myself", right up until the very moment I became insistent on hormones. then the narrative instantly flipped, and all the love and acceptance was gone. I was no longer human at all, and did not deserve her sympathy. and in my honest opinion , it's frightening how similar my experience has been wrt acceptance within the queer community itself.
