I know it's petty but just blocked someone for making a post where the tag was 'trans mascs do better'. The content of the post you ask? Complimenting trans femmes on making good music.
Now, all art is subjective. You don't have to like any music by any trans person. But also, since art is subjective, it's weird to make a statement which suggests that all trans mascs who make music are not making good music. Why is that? Because they happen to be trans masc so you assume it's bad, or because they happen to post in genres you dislike, or because they just personally aren't making songs you like? Mentioning their gender and whether they were cis or trans isn't needed unless you have hang ups about trans mascs in general for being trans masc. Comes off as weird and competative.
Also, you can make a post which compliments trans femmes/trans women etc without tagging on something which insults trans mascs/trans men. It's easy, just don't talk about anyone except the group you intend to compliment. Sliding in a jab at trans mascs actually makes the compliment sound a little less sincere, like it was just a gateway into that jab and not an actual compliment with substance.
That's a good philosophy for anything, actually. Just compliment the one group. Don't have to tack on an insult or derision to another deemed 'opposite' in some respect. It's just that easy. Everything a trans person does isn't a secret competition with a trans person of a different gender.
It's a very minor thing, but so unnecessary and a peek into a mindset I just cannot deal with in this day and age.
