gonna delete this in like a day but it drives me so crazy sometimes how people will just. hate on transmascs because trans women "have it worse." while this is true in some cases, i don't think they realize how we are ALL in it together. i hate to break it to you guys, but did you know, as a transmasc, i have been mocked, harassed, and denied things because i decided to go by my chosen identity? like wow, i didn't know that transphobia is called transphobia because it applies to the entire trans population..... but many transmascs are also scared to show their identity, and are denied it because of families not supporting it, because they are afraid of what people could do to them, and because of societal gender norms feeling too big to break. it just drives me insane that people deny transmascs and trans men's suffering because someone ALWAYS has to have it worse, which is.... really odd to me as a concept. if someone has a cut off hand and the other has a raptured lung, they are both in severe pain? it doesn't matter who has it technically worse, it just matters that they both need medical attention and fast. and let's say one has a cut off hand and the other has a broken bone, both are in pain, both need medical attention, however one is in a more severe situation to need it first. this isn't denying the person with the broken bone care, no, they just have to wait for it a bit longer because they CAN hold out that time.
i have a feeling someone could think "but this is like a cut off hand to a paper cut" and that's just... not true? gender dysphoria is a nasty thing for everyone, and the only way i think it could be like a paper cut is if said trans person faces little to no discrimination or little to no gender dysphoria, but still treat them like a person.
i forgot where i was going but transmascs and men also have to deal with the societal pressure of being a mother, being a housewife, and pregnancy fears as a whole. as a transmasc who has ocd and gets intrusive thoughts about pregnancy, the fact NO ONE talks about how stressing it is to live in a state where abortions are illegal. the fear of being sexually assaulted and violated is extremely deep rooted in me, and no one can even blame me. why the second you don't identify as a woman am i suddenly an offense to nature? why am i ostracized from my own people, as well as the majority of society, because i'm disgusting the way i identify? you are being no better than those same white, cis men who make me fear my own safety just because of your own problem with wanting to be "better" than someone. doesn't matter who, just think about that for a moment, just think about who you think you're wanting to be better than. is it those white, cis, scary men? then you aren't at all. you're causing unnecessary suffering for nothing that benefits you. you don't look cooler because of it, you don't seem more "woke" because of it, you just look sad and hateful.
okay long vent that changes subject like 3 different times but it isn't meant to make sense
