The thing about transandrophobia is that a lot of its supporters will post so often about how ''trans men's struggles and oppressions are real and we deserve to talk about them'' and it's like. Yeah actually. You do. I've always been able to talk about my oppression within the queer, and especially the trans, community with open arms, as a trans man. No one ever said you weren't allowed to talk about your experiences. That's not something people are doing when they talk about how transandrophobia isn't an actual thing. The issue arises when they talk over issues of transfeminism with their own as if the experiences of transmasculinity are the quintessential trans experience, assuming their oppression is the same as a trans woman's oppression which it just isn't. It's insane to me how they'll see ''the women in this minority community are at greater risk than the men in this minority community, actually, and they deserve their own space to talk about the issues they face that are unique to them'' and go ''we need our own parallel term for the oppression WE face and attack trans women who use their term.'' And then you'll go onto those ''trans men's voices matter'' pages and there will be virtually nothing substantial advocating for trans women's voices to be heard. They'll talk about how this discourse is just an attempt at the real people in power dividing the community against each other when that's LITERALLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING with the creation of the transandrophobia 'movement.' I just wish they'd shut up and listen when it comes time for trans women to talk instead of trying to add their own term to the pile like the world's worst game of uno and stop trying to pretend we're all on the same level of playing field.
