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.

DOOON'T PISS ME OFF

Rant incoming.

WHY IN THE BOILING HEAT OF HELL ARE PEOPLE SAYING DANA IS TRANSPHOBIC JUST BECAUSE THEIR HEADCANON ISNT FUCKING CANON. IM GONNA SKIN YOU ALIVE (/nsrs)

Just because Dana didn't say, "Yes, everything the fans say about my OCs are canon and if you view Frankie as a trans woman then it's canon!! Yay!!!" doesn't mean she wants all trans women to die in a horrific car crash. Holy shit.

I love trans headcanons. I have so many trans headcanons! And sometimes, they are allowed to STAY as headcanons! And sometimes, you don't have to make baseless accusations over a post that was typed in a NEUTRAL MANNER.

Why does Dana have to use encouraging language just to not be seen as bigoted? Why is she expecting to say "I support all trans people BTW!" just to not have people be absolute DICKS about her??

Someone literally just asked "Is Frankie trans?" and she said, "No, Frankie is cis." Plain and simple. But people are just interpreting that as "No, I hate trans women and I think that if you interpret Frankie as trans you're stinky and I don't like you." MAKE IT MAKE SENSE, DUDE!

I'm gonna stop the post here, but ISTG if you use this situation as some sort of opportunity to be assholes about trans men, I'm gonna kill someone. (/nsrs)

TOP 5 Warrior Cats misogyny

Okay LOL

Number 5: Palebird was a bad mother or something - I've never seen anyone say this, I've only seen other people bring that up. But anyways, I feel like SO MANY people can say a certain female WC character was a bad friend or mother or whatever because of a mistake they made but I feel like it comes down to the mediocre writing of the series.

Number 4: The Sisters were a cult - They literally just have a different (though problematic) lifestyle than the clans. The Erins just don't know how to write a non demonized other group of cats unless they're also slightly like the clans. Also, if the Sisters were really a cult, the toms wouldn't have left.

Number 3: Dovewing was a bad sister - This is just incorrect.

Number 2: Nightcloud was an abusive mate - This claim is based off of people's own interpretation of how the off screen relationship Nightcloud and Crowfeather was like before the divorce/Crowf fully separating from them. But honestly, there was no canon implication that Night was abusive, Crowf stans just want to make him the victim of everything and everyone except Leafpool.

Number 1: Every single anti-Mapleshade argument - Maggot Belly sucks. Graceland Too sucks. Moonkiti and Bright Guardian Akiras video on her suck. Mapleshade is not responsible for her children's death and I hate Frecklewish. :3

Transcript:

"Transmascs need to stop making everything about them. Everyone knows that they all have privilege."

"We literally just want to be included."

"Can you just acknowledge our voices PLEASE?"

[Transcript end.]

has no one noticed the ableism in the portrayal of mapleshade's mental decline in recent projects or is it just me...
