like theres an overrepresented body type for trans men that is overrepresented in all forms of media and its not people who look like me or even people who look like most trans guys, even the skinny trans guys. most trans men you see in media (namely modeling) are skinny hairless androgynous twinks. thats literally every single person ive seen in the binder ads I get online as well as just everything else. and theres a reason that body type is overrepresented even though most trans guys dont look like that and its due to the systemic feminization of trans men

[that-grassbro]

watching westerners talk about how all transmascs will one day reach a stage* where 'misogyny will no longer affect them' really makes me understand why theres such a big 'feminism is no longer needed' sentiment within western countries. You really think the main body of oppression is just 'are there people who dislike you'. Which is a part of it yes, but thats not like IT?

Misogyny permanently alters your life path.

There are binary trans men who pass today who still suffer from after-effects of fgm which a lot of the time cannot be cured.

There are binary trans men who pass today who do not have the basic education needed to advance in the modern world.

There are binary trans men who pass today who cannot walk/are permanently disabled by misogynistic practices in their youth.

There are binary trans men who pass today who will live in poverty forever because they were forced into marriages young

There are binary trans men who pass today who will never achieve their dreams because they were not allowed to play instruments or sport or early life skills that cannot be 'caught up' later in life

There are binary trans men who pass today who cannot have children because of reproductive violence

There are binary trans men who pass today who missed out on critical promotion years because they were forced to be wives/mothers

And this is not a #sadcore #never transition post, because all this stuff does not mean that you cannot live a happy and fufilling life, it does not mean that there isn't joy in transitioning or that the world is hopeless.

This idea that in order to be a happy man you must deny the role of misogyny in your life is such an insidious lie because it forces trans activists to either shove every single one of these men (plus all the ones who dont even pass/transition/know they're trans now) under the bus, or discourage young boys from transitioning.

Hint: Pretty much everyone chooses the 'lets throw these trans men under the bus and blot their brains out to the reality of transmasculinity' option.

Literally. Some of you heard this quote 'How many Einstein’s have spent their lives washing dishes, how many Mozart’s bent over stoves instead of pianos, because they had the misfortune of being born a woman?' and said: But the moment you find out you're a man it can all go away!

Anyway this is getting long and disjointed but my point is basically summed up with: misogyny permanently alters your life path and there is not such thing as 'graduating' from the affects of systematic oppression

*the idea that half, let alone ALL transmascs have access to transition let alone transition to the point of 'passing', let alone all the complexities of stealthing is absurd in and of itself, but thats for another post.

trans men face types of misogyny that other groups, both cis and trans women, do not face. i have found it almost impossible to find spaces to discuss these issues. trans feminist spaces center trans women, which is fine, and cis feminist spaces center cis women, and both groups exclude trans men, or require us to degender ourselves when talking about the misogyny we experience.

trans men need more transmasculine feminists spaces where we can center our experiences with both transphobia and misogyny

you don’t think transandrophobia is “as bad” as transmisogyny because when it kills a trans man, you simply don’t care. transandrophobia isn’t going to be taken seriously as long as transmasculine lives themselves are considered so worthless and expendable as to be a net zero impact to society when they’re lost.

you stand on a pile of bodies stretching back decades and laugh in the face of anyone who dares point them out to you.

[whitehairedanimeboyfriend]

we know trans masc erasure is real because whenever we try to talk about it everyone keeps on making the conversation about cis men and their experiences for some reason

[mtfautoandrophile]

it’s so fucked up when you see something you KNOW is a portal to somewhere but you can’t figure out how to activate it. this is the most frustrating feeling that plagues modern man.

Anyone else notice that a lot of TRFs will say in the wake of rightful backlash something like “I/this person got sent hate because they said kinda mean things about transmascs 🙄” and then you go and look and their definition of “kinda mean” is saying that our oppression doesn’t matter/doesn’t exist, that we contribute nothing of value to society and that we all deserve to be violently murdered and/or forcibly detransitioned due to the crime of our existence. Like sorry that’s not “kinda mean” that’s just being horrifically bigoted and expecting everyone to just be cool with it because you think transmascs are an acceptable scapegoat for the systems built to oppress us as well as you. It’s weird blame shifting and cry bully behavior that ends up getting parroted by people who don’t know any better and I’m really sick of it.

How in the fuck are so many people straight up arguing that “trans radfems/trfs” don’t exist. What do you mean. Yall have a seminal text I couldn’t avoid being recommended for 6 fucking months called “trans/rad/fem” I’m so confused why people are straight up lying about something very easy to prove. the book is released. it’s been consigned by damn near every major “transfeminist” actively putting out work. it’s not a slur or an insult or whatever the fuck to call yall transradfems. that’s what you are. you gave yourselves the name. you claimed it when you heralded the text called trans/rad/fem as the basis of y’all’s ideology. like? go gaslight someone else LOL I HAVE BEEN HERE THE ENTIRE TIME.
