"I just wanna focus on transmasc issues!"
• comparing everything to trans-misogyny when you don't even get the concept - you just want an equivalent to stop feeling obligated to care about it
• getting upset when transfeminism is largely from transfems that made literature about their experiences and transfems who still speak about it
• thinking a transfem talking about trans-misogyny is a personal attack on you
• insisting every structural issue unique to transfems is actually something "we all" face
• On the flip also insisting that transfems just wouldn't understand your connection to femaleness/womanhood and the oppression there - you face UNIQUE things that we do not
• Framing all your conversations around "transfems dont want us to acknowledge we experience oppression!"
• Framing conversations around "sex based oppression" and "male socialization" to prove your points
• Getting upset transfems have their own culture and insisting you NEED your "own version"
• Getting upset when transfems are taken care of and are having their voices listened to and insisting it should be about YOU instead
• Getting upset transfems talk about THEIR issues and not yours
I can go on... You're not called trans-misogynistic because you wanna discuss your oppression (crypto-TERF take btw), it's because you are obsessed with framing everything as you in opposition to transfeminized people and our conversations, our community, our activism, our culture...
Whenever transmasculine people actually create things for themselves instead of being upset transfeminized people didn't create anything for them, you know how transfeminist spaces react? HAPPY. With PRAISE. We discuss it, suggest it to each other, hype it up.. We care, too. The reason you don't recieve the same is because you are doing something that needs to be criticized (comes with the activist space btw - cant handle it dont speak i guess). And the fact you refuse to listen to that and wish to utilize and perpetuate trans-misogyny to deflect from your (now-willful) ignorance is an issue.
It's why you don't see any progress and you are only capable of posting about discourse and the same 5 points and why nobody engages with you how you want - because you functionally went into an activist space, decided to learn nothing, be harmful to others, and then expect praise for it. Nobody will engage with half-baked "if you don't affirm my oppression you're saying I'm not valid!" because we have bigger conversations to actually discuss. So maybe be ACTUALLY caring what you claim to and listen to the actual words other people tell you and you'd get farther... idk..
