did you know that if the only thing trans men ever hear about themselves is that they're selfish and misogynist and unimportant and take up too much space that could be filled by people more important and more deserving people they start to believe it and sometimes even want to kill themselves about it

i think i hate tumblr actually! it used to be a nice escape i could come to and find people to talk about my interests with! but my brain cant hold interests anymore and in my effort to be a better feminist and transfeminist ive absorbed the most rancid terf-infested discourse known to humankind and internalized the gender traitor rhetoric that ive spent YEARS speaking against and holding it all inside because i don't want to prove them RIGHT!!!! the discourse ecosystem here is DEEPLY terf-poisoned! it always has been!!! at no point has the feminism on this site been truly free of the specter of transphobic dipshits who wish we'd all kill ourselves and it almost fucking worked on me!!! WHY am i still spending time on a website that's made me not only ASHAMED of being transmasculine but made me want to KILL MYSELF ABOUT IT!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how do i say 'i want to kill myself because im a trans man' in a way that doesnt detract from womens voices

[spitblaze]

oh yeah well MY feminism says that anything bad that happens to you is an unintended side effect of someone wanting to hurt ME instead. you can trust me because im white and have read one (1) book

As a transmasc, I've done my work on examining my internalized misogyny- I've been doing the work, because it's a never-ending process. I disentangle the societal transmisogyny that's been implanted into all of us by way of living in a transmisogynist society. I listen to my transfeminine friends, their struggles, how to help, what I can do. I use what little social privilege I am afforded by passing as a white masculine person to champion the causes of all women, cis and trans, and to help and uplift those who I can. I have done my work, I am doing my part, and any part I fail to do I do my best to pick up with gusto. I have examined my biases around femininity and womanhood and transfemininity and I will continue to do so until the day I die.

And in return, I ask just this:

Have you examined your biases around transmasculinity?
