i was wondering on whether to post this on bunnyburrowsys or this account and i've decided this account because its sorta relevant to wc and i wanted to get it off my chest so here goes i guess.
as a trans man, i don't feel safe interacting with the warrior cats community.
i'll be honest, even b4 i've gotten into beef with those guys, i've always felt like an outcast. so many people posting about how much they hate men as a way to be "progressive" only made me feel ostracized within the community and i felt so guilty to express myself outwardly as a guy/boy out of fear of being seen as idk some sort of misogynist. it fucked up my mental state a lil and added on to my (probably) ocd (along w/ fandom purity culture)
and a lot more recently! there have been quite a bit of people i had to unfollow because of their thoughts on transandrophobia and had to block a mutual too. i can't even go onto wc fan's blogs w/o fearing the worst and feeling outcasted again. i've seen so many people reblog stuff from transandrophobes in this fandom and i cannot bring myself to interact with any of them. (its even worse when some of them are getting into fandoms im in too.)
and on to hatred of men and stuff. the books are misogynist. flat fucking out. and due to that i've seen a lot of people defend female characters and call out male characters and what not. but then it gets to real life. and i see people (as a younger teen) talk about how men suck and kill men and stuff and i internalize that. and i believe thats what it means to stand up for women. but then, when i broaden my view on things and i learn about transandrophobia, i start to see my community differently and i start to recognize why i've felt a certain way when people talked about men in they way that they did (and still do!) i realize that this community fucking sucks and that they might lowkey hate trans men and transmascs. (i mean someone in this fandom literally said trans men shouldn't make their ocs transmasc or headcanon characters that way. (link) )
i'm making this post to 1, get my feelings and thoughts out, 2, hopefully bring this to light within the warriors fandom, and 3, so other transmascs/men (within the warriors fandom or others) know that hate towards men is not okay and that their experiences are fucking valid.
sorry if my thoughts are scattered. i think thats how i am most of the time (audhd)
so please reblog this. i want this to genuinely go out to more people.
