I just have no words. Imagine being this fucking selfish.
This is what people(ESPECIALLY trans women) are referring to when we say that transandrophobia truthers are misogynistic. Because imagine having this visceral of a reaction to the mere acknowledgment that you have male privilege, imagine aggressively refusing to protect transfems, an already highly targeted, stigmatized, and exploited group, to this extent, because it offends your male fragility so much to be told that you could and SHOULD use your power to help others.
Like tell me, what makes you any different from or any better than the cis male MRAs who kick and scream and cry when told that they have male privilege over women and should use it to help and support us in any way possible because “it’s not my fault I was born male why should I have to feel guilty for things that other men do why should I have to sacrifice myself to make women feel good???” Imagine that instead of acknowledging your male privilege over trans women and using it to help them, you instead choose to shit all over them, deny your male privilege, and tell them that they’re on their own.
And don’t even get me started on “we’re not your bodyguards we don’t exist solely to serve you” like what a selfish, entitled, and self-victimizing worldview to have. Nobody said anything about only existing to protect transfems, and nobody even suggested a such thing as that you should put yourself in harm’s way for them. All they said was that you should protect them, because you have privilege over them and thus also have the ability to shield them from transmisogyny and prevent them from being a target for hate. Duh. But instead of offering transfems any grace and kindness, you instead choose to make it all about yourselves and your feelings and your insecure ass manhood, and firmly reject the idea that you could ever protect transfems because you don’t think you owe it to them to because it’s somehow unfair to you as a man. Pathetic. Getting so hostile and upset because transfems want transmascs to protect them and acting like they’re asking for too much because “you aren’t their bodyguards” is truly horrible and self-centered. It shows such a callous disregard for the women in your community who are supposed to be your sisters. Like “fend for yourself, I don’t exist to save you” what a spiteful, sexist little scumbag. How hard is it to acknowledge your privilege and use it to do good for a change? Instead of denying it and shouting down at the people who merely ask you for help, all while sitting on your ass and doing nothing whatsoever to make things easier for them, because you’re so self-serving that you care about your own well-being over theirs. Just gross.
And the icing on top of the sour cake is the second user saying that men already being expected to protect women is an act of misandry somehow like come on! As if men weren’t the ones who decided that they needed to protect women because they are the weaker sex. You’re literally complaining about a gender role that men created for themselves in the first damn place, to uplift the patriarchy. How the fuck are men gonna complain about the expectation that they protect women when they are the ones who decided that it is their job to protect women, like??? The math ain’t mathin’. And the thing is that many trans women already care about trans men’s issues and try to protect them from transphobia too, so it’s not like they’re asking this out of a belief in outdated gender roles or “chivalry” or what not they just want the favor to be returned, and how do transandrodorks act in response? Shit all over them for daring to ask for support from their brothers in the community. Truly shameful and disgusting. Every single damn transandrodork on this app should be deeply ashamed of themselves.
So anyway, in case anyone needed a reminder, here is yet more proof that transandrodorks are really just misogynistic shitheads who do not give a shit about trans women or trying to help them in any way whatsoever. They just want to shit all over transfems and would rather leave them to fend for themselves than treat them as equals who deserve their advocacy. Because at the end of the day, they are merely male supremacists pretending to be advocates for trans men’s rights who actually just want to be afforded the same privileges as cis men, even if that means throwing trans women under the bus to get them. If they actually cared about liberating the trans community and trans men having equal rights, then they would realize that those equal rights means supporting trans women too, because trans women are an even more disenfranchised group than they are. And they would realize that they can use their male privilege to do good and to help trans women feel safe whenever possible. They wouldn’t act like this type of request is a burden to ask of them and is somehow an act of discrimination. Like this is weaksauce shit. If you are this threatened by trans women asking you to acknowledge your male privilege and protect and support them and choose to have such a bad-faith interpretation of this simple as hell request instead, then you are no ally to trans women. You are just a transmisogynist. Go to hell, the lot of you. 🖕🏾
