This isn't a privilege, this is survival. Trans women can do the same, they can detransition too. This isn't a privilege when it's someone anyone can do.

it's almost like the very idea of "afab privilege" being a thing is misogynistic in itself

we've arrived at "transphobes are all actually fine with trans men". christ help us

As an example: my great grandmother broke her arm recently. For people her age (or even quite a bit younger; she's nearly 100), a broken bone can put enough stress on the body that it just ends up a catalyst for a bunch of other complications, and often leads to death. She is healthy enough that she was able to make a full recovery, and that's probably due to sheer luck, but the hundreds and hundreds of good decisions she made throughout her life to keep herself in good health contributed to. But the break also meant she couldn't use her arm, which meant she couldn't use her walker, so she used a wheelchair, and she had to be put into care for a few months, and that wasn't avoidable. You can make good decisions that can help you down the line, but you cannot control if you're able-bodied or not, that's very rarely a decision that's within your hands.

Nothing will ever be good enough. I just roll my eyes at this shit now

like do you realize this is already true? it's not 'shouldn't', they DON'T. trans and intersex men have to fight and claw their way into reproductive healthcare, and when they do get it, they're often horribly mistreated and/or have to mis/degender themselves for basic respect. you cannot call yourself a feminist if you believe in forced pregnancy for ANYONE at all.

Trans men don't get to be both trans and men. They are one or the other depending on which one can be better used to hurt them.

Bias

There is nothing accidental about transphobia. Every facet of it is intentional. Trans men are not bystanders in the genocide against all trans people. Trans men aren't accidental targets of trans genocide.

Transandrophobes: this is the exact same argument, wow. This is terrifying rhetoric. I can't believe trans men are talking exactly like Andrew Tate

Every racist MAGA/GOP/KKK slippery slope prediction is worthless.

and then they get mad at us for not using our privilege to break down barriers of what a man should/can look like whenever they catch a guy who looks like a normie cis man

you could go your whole life not eating enough and not die or get really sick, but just be tired and grumpy a lot, or perform worse, or have brain fog, or a million other things. like there are so many gradations between "should have a snack" and "has a severe eating disorder". maybe you don't have an eating disorder, but you should still start eating more than iced coffee for breakfast. try it sometime!
