I use this blog to talk about things I feel are important to say regarding cats/animal welfare, a space to center trans men/transmasc, environmental topics, etc. ⚠️Controversial and Fringe Views Ahead⚠️ Questioning figures and facts is not the same as denial of science. Using empathy against people isn't "pro-science"

It's not transphobia to call trans men birthday boys. It is meant to point out how your community at large starts fights and cries harassment when you get pushback. As a transmasculine person myself I get soooo embarrassed when I see people like you whining about it

and i get soooo embarrassed when i see people like you turning their back on their own community.

"whiny birthday boys, transandrobros, transandrocunts, theyfabs, bomb that kills all tme's" etc isn't fucking pushback. its transandrophobia and exorsexism.

excuse us for calling it what it is and refusing to take it lying down.

Why are people so mean to trans men about our hobbies? If we're getting into traditionally male hobbies we're performative or aren't doing it right. If we still like traditionally feminine things we're "not really men".

You can't win with transphobes I guess.

Imagine if you got as mad about rapists as you do when a trans man shaves his pussy or gets a tattoo

I’m writing this from personal experience. To make this very clear I’m not saying this is universal proof of anything just my personal experience with an event and my minimal experience in general with pride events.

I was invited back to NYC Pride again this year, but I won't be going. In the past, I've had other trans men tell me to 'go touch grass' because there are fewer trans women like that in the real world, but my actual experience told a different story.

I don't go out much for Pride to begin with, and what happened when I did go to NYC completely shut me down to it. I was marching in the protest against the Broadway production of Jagged Little Pill regarding their erasure and mistreatment of the trans/non-binary community. It was a space that should have been rooted in solidarity. Instead, a trans woman took the microphone and explicitly told trans men to stay to the side and keep quiet on community issues, claiming that trans women are doing things right and have it worse. As I remember it, she actually specifically told us to shut up.

I haven't been back to an NYC Pride-related event since. Even at a rally meant to stand up for the community, my friends and I were told to shut up. What made it worse was that her behavior was applauded by women in the crowd and fully accepted by whoever coordinated the speaker lineup. She was allowed to continue to talk. (To add here there was WAY less applause than other things she said during this event but it was still generally accepted to say)

You can say it's my own fault for letting one terrible experience make me throw my hands up and be done, but it didn't help at all. Now, I will barely even go to a gay bar without fully researching the venue and the event to guarantee it is genuinely transmasc-affirming. If I can be promised a space where trans men are actually safe and respected, I’ll go. But I refuse to step back into a generalized “trans affirming experience” that treats transmasculine people this way.

Anyways happy pride to everyone and especially people who accept trans men.

neurosurgery appointment scheduled for Wednesday which gives me just enough time to have another mental breakdown

[crippled-peeper]

mental breakdown cancelled. look at my old ass cat

[therapatical]

gotta be careful because TRFs can graphically describe how they want transmascs to be raped and their intestines hung from the rafters, but if any of us respond back with 0.1% of the same energy, we'll get banned. funny how that works

[maramagnus]

That's not "transphobia" that's not "transandrophobia" that's just how people treat men. If I was a man I'd say "welcome to manhood!"

It suck but it's how men are treated. That's not transphobia, it's not "transandrophobia" that's just men and masculinity and patriarchy.

Of course, the other part of this is that TRANSANDROPHOBIA ISN'T FUCKING REAL. You are experiencing patriarchal masculinity and transphobia.

I made a really shitty comic about the current transmasc vs transfem infighting in the trans community. We're all going to the same concentration camp either way, so I don't see the point.

[lesboydefender]

people on this dumbfuck website will genuinely say that a trans man who comes out during a long term relationship with a lesbian is a predator or a rapist because his partner was “tricked” into dating a man and then turn around and defend LittleSisterLoliLover1997 on the grounds that it’s transmisogynistic to criticize her incest kink i truly hate all of you

I've seen so many posts lately like "trans men have got to get more feminine" and it's lowkey pissing me off because we haven't even normalized trans men being masculine yet. Have you not been paying attention to trans men when they talk about being kicked out of LGBT spaces for "appearing too cishet" like can we lock in and understand that sexuality and oftentimes gender aren't something you can visually tell before we start trying to normalize something that's already normalized

[fist-full-of-feathers]

What really gets me about a lot of the transandrophobia on this website is the fact that people love to ignore that tons of trans men are also barred from sports, except for us its silently, theres almost no fight about it and no support for us.

Do any of you know who he is?

This is Mack Beggs, a southern trans man. Mack is a wrestler who was forced to fight in the girls state championship which he had to fight tooth and nail to be included in at all. Even now when Mack fights on a mens team he engages in activism for mental health of trans youth and for other trans athletes and yet people have the audacity to come on here and say that transmasculine people contribute nothing to the movement. Have you ever heard of him? Or was it such a quiet modest celebration that you didn’t even know he existed.

And thats how it is with trans men. It is not better to be publicly shamed and harassed but being voiceless comes with its own struggles. When we’re allowed to compete in women's sports, something we shouldn’t be forced to do in the first place, it’s almost always under the condition that we are not taking testosterone. When we are competing in mens sports, if we’re not turned away at the gate for being a “woman” we face the physical danger of assault, sexual or otherwise, in the locker room. How can you call that privilege?

This post comes with no intention to invalidate anyone else’s experiences, only to uplift those of transmascs.

Hello, my name is World's Most Privileged Trans Man, and I have some things to say about transandrophobia.

First of all, you trenders- I mean transandrobros, might not know this, but testosterone is soooo much more powerful than estrogen, so when you start T you pass instantly. I know this, because when I started T at 12 years old, I looked like all the other boys in my class, right after my first shot!

Also, abortion bans don't even affect us, because you can just get a hysterectomy. You should have been trying to get one anyway, since getting pregnant is only for women. If your insurance denies you, just have your parents pay for it like mine did!

I make a lot of money at my job where my colleagues make sexist jokes like I'm "one of the guys", and therefore so do you. I have never felt unsafe with a doctor or police officer, and therefore neither have you. I refuse to believe that anyone could have a different experience than me so they are just being a whiny baby, and I refuse to admit that being upper middle class, white, able bodied, and cis passing, might have a little more baring on my blissfully privileged life, rather than my True Male Soul

*Takes off my sarcastic voice*

This is how all these dudes sound to me, like, cool man, glad your life rules, this still does not accurately reflect the lived experience of 90% of trans men/mascs

[bipedal-embarrassment]

Never forget when I was at a party and I told a newly out trans man that he could tell the gross cis Grindr men to fuck themselves if they were harrassing him and a trans woman stepped in to tell me off because "They might actually be closeted trans women"

Literally wanting trans men & mascs to accept transphobia, harrassment, fetishisation and bullying from cis men online on the OFF CHANCE that they could potentially be trans women.

The entitlement trans women and femmes have to center themselves in every aspect of community and constantly treat trans men and mascs like shit is actually fucking insane and I'm fucking sick of it.
