Hey guys, I don't want to cause any sense of alarm but I want the TF2 transmasc community to be aware of this.
aprofessionalwithoutstandards, a popular(?) TF2 blogger, made a post with my acc's name and spoke about my bio DNI regarding people who deny transmasculine specific transphobia.
I did not consent to having my account name shared and have unfortunately already received some terfy anons.
For those who don't know, transmisandry or transandrophobia is the specific type of transphobia experienced by trans men/ trans masculine people. I had that in my bio because it is unfortunately common for people in our community to not believe transmascs experience hardship when it comes to being trans.
It was very strange to see someone who is a part of a fandom with a lot of trans men/ mascs to say something like this. I liked his content and I know a lot of us do too, I want others to be aware of how she feels about the fellow fans he interacts with.
I was hoping that he didn't actually understand what the word meant. I sent him a DM to try to explain and to set boundaries about sharing my account name.
I was really hoping it really was a misunderstanding and she might apologize for the name dropping... But he never responded and blocked me.
I know I'm not entitled to a response, but the anons keep coming.
I don't think it was a misunderstanding anymore. I don't want anybody else to have to find out the way I did.
So, transmasc-phobic behavior awareness post done?
If it was actually a mistake and they apologize, I'll delete this and apologize as well.
EDIT- I used the wrong pronouns by mistake, I believe the correct ones are (he/him) + (she/her). Sorry about that. I was also informed that he is transmasculine as well as being Bi-gender.
Trans people can also be transphobic. Just because you personally haven't experienced something doesn't mean it's not real.
