the tumblr trans "community" makes me want to fucking kill myself at this point for being a trans guy. im not kidding.
i'll get skinned alive if i say i don't have privilege over other trans people or CIS women.
ill get skinned if i say 98% of trans men will never have male privilege because the conditions of that applying to us are almost impossible to achieve to the average transmasc.
i'll get skinned if i say transandrophobia exists. or any other term that describes the intersectionality of the oppression transmascs face.
i'll get skinned if i say SOME trans women on this site are horrid to trans men. but at the same time, in this discourse, ALL transmascs have privilege and less oppression than others. the first one is seen as a generalization, while the second one is "the truth." Even though i know many many transfems will stick by our side and fight with us, and the transandrophobic ones are not the majority offline.
i'll get skinned if i say i experience transmisogyny and am not tme despite being "afab" or transmasc. you literally cant tell what im transitioning into and what i was before, so people just hurl both transmisogyny and transandrophobia my way.
i'll get skinned if i say trans men and transmascs of color dont have privilege over white trans people or white cis women.
and its getting worse on this hellsite to the point where a white cis gay man and other non-transmasc folks talk over us, and people listen to them more than us.
