various people about trans men: I hate you. because i hate men of course. there is a heavy overarching implication in my behavior that I would not treat you with this level of cruelty and scrutiny if you were a cis woman, but shouldn't you feel so validated right now? shouldn't you feel validated that I wouldn't treat you like shit if you hadn't transitioned? shouldn't you feel validated that I'm treating you like shit explicitly because of your identity?

there is a pretty popular post made by a non transmasc person going around talking about how "transandrobros sometimes actually accidentally stumble upon discrimination, but instead of using the name they've chosen to discuss it we should call it trans emasculation". SO YOU ADMIT IT. YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU DON'T LIKE THE WORD WE USED TO NAME OUR OPPRESSION. HEY, WHY DO YOU GET TO CALL OUR OPPRESSION EMASCULATION, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT'S FUCKING OK. EMASCULATION IS ABOUT TAKING AWAY THE SUPPOSED VIRILITY OF A PERSON. MOST TRANSMASC PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HAD THAT PRIVILEGE, THEY AREN'T TAKING SOMETHING AWAY FROM US THEY ARE DENYING US RIGHTS. as a poc it's also pretty fucked up to use a term heavily associated with the forced castration of black men. like yeah maybe it sounds better to you but a) that's not what emasculation means and b) speaking over a minority asserting the language they created to talk about their oppression is wrong is disgusting

op acts like transmascs only problem is that we don't have the same power as cis men and completely ignores aspects like reproductive rights, fetishization, erasure, invisibility and access to gender affirming healthcare.

im so tired of people painting transmascs who want to advocate for their issues as whinny privileged boys and acting as if the second you come out as transmasc you are suddenly free from oppression. as if we didn't have to deal with the misogyny that affected us since birth and now a new layer of transandrophobia. as if being infantalized and treated like we're not mentally sound to participate in all social aspects was a small thing

This is transandrophobia.

I feel like a lot of conversations about the porn industry and how it abuses trans people generally neglects to mention trans men, which isn’t surprising but it’s disappointing nonetheless.

I feel like it’s worth talking about how the vast majority of transmasc porn is detrans kink and how trans men are forced to market themselves as “fakebois” or “pussyboys” and do mostly detrans kink content. Please include trans men in these conversations.

“Trauma survivors don’t deserve spaces specific to their experiences, I should be able to do my ableist roleplay wherever I want! I’m one of you but better!1!!1!!”

YOU ARE THE PROBLEM, MOTHERFUCKER!

[anti-endo-homelander]

Not syscourse, but this website really needs to treat trans men better. Lucky Star has to put up with seeing so much shit that makes him feel dysphoric or unlovable because transandrophobia is so rampant. Trans men and mascs are valid. Treat them like they matter, because they absolutely fucking do.

This is coming from a cisgender headmate, by the way! I’m just doing the bare fucking minimum, especially considering I have a trans boyfriend. It would be stupid for me not to defend his community, especially since I’m supposed to be his hero.

Sighhh... I’m not beating the Wokelander allegations, am I?

Treat trans men and mascs with some fucking respect. Take them seriously. Don’t be a dick.

[phosphorusab]

People act like trans men invisibility means being not perceived, and therefore being safe

No motherfuckers, we have no mouths and we must scream

Trans men aren't allowed to do anything. You're not allowed to be gay or else you're "forcing gay men to have sex with a vagina" even if you don't bottom or even if you don't have a vagina at all. Can't be straight or else you're a predatory butch lesbian tricking (cishet) women into having sex with a woman, even if your partner knew you were trans and still consented. Can't be a lesbian or else you're a scary man invading women's spaces and "misgendering yourself" even if you've identified as a lesbian for your entire life before transitioning. Even if your body perfectly passes as cisgender, having sex with a cis person without telling them you're trans when they consented to it is still rape somehow. Every single thing you could identify as has some kind of predatory alterior motive and yet when you point this out, you get gaslit and told "Uh, no, trans men aren't seen as sexual predators, that only happens to trans women."

You're not allowed to be happy or else it's cringe. You're not allowed to be sad or else you're overreacting and playing victim and just simply being annoying. You're not allowed to be mad or else you're a mean scary unreasonable tranny--oh wait sorry I forgot trans men can't reclaim that word. Trans men can't reclaim any slur. We don't have the same exact experiences as cis gay men so we can't say faggot, and even though a lot of us grew up being called and perceived as "dykes" we can't say that either because we aren't women. Trans men also can't be T4T because like one Craigslist post from 20 years ago said so or some shit like that? Trans men also can't have a toy shark from IKEA. Or call themselves femboys because that's a transmisogynistic slur. Or call themselves eggs. Trans men aren't even actually trans. Just stop existing. Just die. But no one hates you. Transandrophobia isn't real you hysterical dumbass. Lmao.

Transfemmes are erased too thats not a transmasc specific thing

*trans femmes

** trans mascs

I never said that trans women and femmes aren't erased? Ofc they are. Society hates trans people and doesn't want us to exist.

When I talk about the hyperinvisibility of trans men and mascs and how it's used to oppress and abuse us it's because it's true and because it explains a lot of why certain things work and look like they do not because I'm trying to say it's only done to us.

It's kind of weird that you think that's what I'm doing? Or that you think that an issue has to be unique for it to be talked about or that {issue as it effects this kind of person} isn't it's own valuable topic.

"Transandrophobia isn't real but i wish trans men and trans mascs would understand we don't mena that they AREN'T oppressed-" then what the fuck do you think transandrophobia is??? what. Dude. What????

[transand]

the refusal to analyze manhood and masculinity as an axis of identity that intersects with all other facets of identity and influences the way one is treated beyond the most basic, surface-level “man = privileged” is an example of male defaultism and i’m tired of people pretending it’s not.

[this-is-transandrophobia]

i don’t understand the pushback against using the word transandrophobia

why is it so horrible that a marginalized group is using a specific term to describe the specific kind of discrimination they face

This is, of course, transandrophobia.

[this-is-transandrophobia]

I just got an ask calling me misogynistic for “saying all men shouldn’t be killed” and then called privileged and walking proof that they should

I am openly a trans man on my blog.. (plus I never even interacted with.. such content nor commented that) and now I feel really bad about being a guy

This is transandrophobia.

the difference between reproductive abuse between amab and afab trans folks is sending me up the wall a little. Yes, I don’t think people assigned male at birth should be forcibly sterilised or forced to donate biological material in order to receive gender affirming care. However, there is a vast difference between that and being forced to give birth. The rates of corrective rape and impregnation as a form of detransitioning that trans people assigned female at birth face is horrific and insane. Have you ever see a video of someone giving birth? Have you seen the changes their body undergoes physically? Have you seen the sheer amount of painkillers (sometimes denied for various reasons!) that people who give birth are recommended??

have you ever actually watched anything around pregnancy and giving birth??? Like, even so much as a 5 second audio from the process. The amount of physical trauma it carries out on the body and leaves is genuinely the subject of several horror movies. You’ll notice I haven’t even gone into specifics with this post because I’m half-convinced tumblr would ban me.

anyway I’m making this post because with the state of discourse on this site, I’m firmly convinced that if it were the other way around, and the current group of transgender and loudly transandrophobic shitheads were the ones facing the prospect of giving birth, and all the complications that come with it, and all the insanely high risk of fucking dying, and all the political climate that designates anyone with a functioning womb as a fucking incubator, and just the sheer pain and trauma of it alone, we’d never hear the end of it.

again, I cannot restate my point enough that it’s awful that people are forcibly sterilised or put through other forms of reproductive abuse that does not involve pregnancy or giving birth. This should not happen, and should be a part of the conversation around reproductive autonomy within the trans community.

However I’m going to need you to get incredibly fucking real with me for a moment about the disparity between the sides of the conversation here.

“AFAB only housing”

well yes, that is just “biological wombxn ONLYYY” in a woke font. I’m not stupid. However I’m sure they love trans men with beards and dicks and deep voices. Like, either being rejected for deviating too far from the “biological wombxn” part of the equation or being just “biological wombxn” enough to be constantly misgendered or pressured/coerced into detransitioning isn’t the privilege you think it is.

why the fuck is detransitioning even considered a privilege, anyway? You’d lose your shit if detransitioning was ever even mildly suggested to an amab trans person. Is it because you don’t really view us as trans. Don’t be shy now, we already know.

[anti-endo-homelander]

Trans men and mascs being treated like shit is a very, very real problem. Endos are not real whatsoever. Defending the community that my boyfriend is a part of after seeing awful shit with my own eyes holds absolutely no correlation to fucking idiots playing pretend with the trauma disorder we suffer from.

Trans men deserve to be treated better ≠ Endos are real. Not even remotely. Completely different topics.

Just say that you’re either an endo or a transandrophobe next time. Fuck off, genuinely. You see me defending a marginalized group that my boyfriend is part of and THAT is your response? No brain in there, just half a brain cell floating around like a TV screensaver.

I have had a bad fucking day and I take the treatment of trans men and mascs very fucking seriously, so for one singular time, I am too pissed off and exhausted to censor the fucking user. Don’t harass them. Lucky Star has just been crying on me since we got into our new room and I couldn’t give less of a fuck about doing it after all of the shit we’ve dealt with.

So, reminder: Transandrophobia is very, very real and a huge problem... NTG “systems” are not possible and the idea is absolute bullshit. Yes, I can hold both of those views... Especially because they’re both obviously fucking correct.

Reader? Tell pwCDDs and trans men + mascs that you love them, you are proud of them, and you appreciate having them in your life. That is an order.
