I actually do not think "most trans men" do ANYTHING the way "any other women" do. because trans men are not women for them to be "other women." nice Freudian slip asshole.
also. "before they started looking like cis men" NO! we look like MEN. cis men look like me. there is no fundamental separation between me & cis men that I can only "look like". we are all men. and we get privileges as MEN. just because as trans men they are not always 100% given to us doesn't mean we don't get them. Just because our access to them is conditional doesn't make us less men, that conditionality is there for literally every kind of man. All men are under conditional privilege, that's how privilege works!! why do you want those privileges so bad and not just like. rights. why do you want the privilege & entitlement to enter women's spaces as a man? it's a woman's space. why do you want it? & if you think of yourself as partially a woman then like. no wonder you get dysphoric ab not being in women's spaces but that's a separate issue???
I'm sick of ppl being so ready to distance themselves from transmisogyny that they get REALLY transphobic and cissexist about what trans men are. we should not be temporarily embarrassed patriarchs!!! you should not need privileges. please align yourself with trans women and see how quickly you lose even the bare privileges you have gained. realize how much worse it must be for them. why must other trans men vent about the things that hurt us by comparing us to 'other women', removing us from manhood because we /only/ 'look like cis men', and throwing trans women's needs & comfort under the bus. makes me sick.
we have misgendering (someone not gendering you correctly at all,) degendering (someone gendering you as neutral when you aren't or refusing to gender you at all,) & malgendering (someone gendering you correctly only to use it against you)
but we need a word for when someone has multiple genders (/ isn't monogender) & ppl technically "gender them correctly" but only /partly/ & only in the way they find most acceptable
mingendering maybe?
imagine it... one femme & three butches 🥺🤤🥰
Troy Barnes is not a gay man. Troy Barnes is a DEEPLY REPRESSED (egg) trans woman. troy Barnes doesn't feel like what is done with abed is homosexual because it isn't, that's that 'disconnect' you're all seeing. Troy thinks of being with Abed and it doesn't feel gay because it's not. Troy wont think about or analyze why that is though. & unfortunately by the time the new (& transitioned) trans woman of Frankie enters the scene & could help put it together Troy is already gone off on some tragic repression cementing journey to find "manhood"...
having a crush is SICK and having a crush on TWO PEOPLE AT ONCE is a kind of disgusting few can conceive of.
btw when I say Troy & Abed are butchfemme, Troy is 100% the femme
making ppl butch by showing them how good it can feel to be courted & loved by a femme 🥰🥺🩷✨💖
making ppl butch by giving them a safe space to explore & reclaim masculinity they've been kept from embodying 🥰🥺🩷✨💖
making ppl butch by teaching them about our history & communities so that they may see themselves & come to find support in who they've always been 🥰🥺🩷✨💖
simply nothing like helping people become butch ✨🥺🌈🧡💛🤍🩵💜
