Something that really bothers me that’s a weirdly common trend is transmen being excluded from women’s issues 

pretty sure being told over and over “you just need the right man to show you you’re a woman” counts as an issue that only an assigned female at birth person would go through.

all the times we get objectified for having female genitalia

 “Oh but you make such a PRETTY girl! why would you do that to yourself? ): ): ): “

“but don’t you want to have babies? what about babies???”

“how can you expect to be a parent?/you could make a good mother though!”

“you’re just hiding from being a woman because of your trauma”



C: So yeah kindly fuck off if you think transmen magically get better treatment just because they identify as menfolk.

We’re not suddenly given man privileges, trust me.

why are you calling us women and citing transphobia as misogyny?

every one of the statements here is transphobic, not misogynistic, because it only applies to trans men. this is a trans issue, not a womans issue

stop equating afab to woman lol

and then we get these people who just want to pick a fight for no reason and like to put words in mouths because it’s apparently super important to be angry at everyone just

all the time

always

-I did not call transmen women at all, the closest thing stated was ‘Assigned female at birth’, if this is wrong then tell me what to say instead because I struggled for a good while trying to find the correct way to say it and this is the way I’ve seen people refer to it most.

-Am citing things that have been said to me ALL MY LIFE even before I came out as trans???? It has nothing to do with my personal viewpoint?

“because it only applies to trans men”

Women get harassed to find the right man, have babies, be mothers and be more feminine all the time wtf are you talking about…? It’s this whole concept that men own women’s bodies and that AFAB don’t count as men that I’m saying is bullshit, and yes it’s also transphobic as fuck but why can’t something be both transphobic and misogynistic? 


So yeah I guess now I’m not allowed talk about the sexist/transphobic bullshit I’ve been put through because even mentioning it is offensive to someone


wow.

you said ‘trans men experience womens issues’. you literally said that. not in those exact words, but you said that. reread your post.

also…did you seriously just pull the ‘You can’t say anything without someone getting offended’ card? on a post in which in which you were offended about not being able to go into women’s spaces?

uh yes because I still get treated like a woman all the time, misogyny abound without people even REGISTERING that I’m male because they don’t ask and I don’t look like a cis male. People don’t just look at me and go “oh that’s a transman”

they go “oh that’s a slightly overweight short chick”

it’s when I try to explain I’m male that the transphobia kicks in along with the misogyny 


how in the hell do you get ‘I’m calling transmen women’ out of that statement? that was a SERIOUSLY bad misinterpretation of what I was saying. 

How the fuck does someone read “people always remind me of the gender I was assigned at birth and treat me like I’m not the owner of my own body” and somehow get “I’m mad people won’t let me in womans spaces”

The reading comprehension on fiires part is piss poor
