Get followed into bathrooms? Called slurs in public? Catcalled? Sexually harassed? Banned from doctors offices? Banned from sports? Stalked?

This is simply misdirected transmisogyny. If they knew you were AFAB they'd leave you alone.

Get raped? Forced pregnancy? Abortion bans? Medical mistreatment? Childhood trauma? Be ignored and dismissed when speaking?

This is all just because of default misogyny that affects cis women worse.

Be told you have to be strong and you exist to protect others? No one believes you speaking out about sexual assault because men are supposed to want that? Myths about testosterone being a poison that makes people violent? Jokes about hate all men?

This is just individualized missandry. There's nothing systemic causing people to attack men and masculinity, shut up you sound like a mra. Don't you know men are privileged.

Her “apology” to the transmasc community was literally just posting an image of a dog shitting on a tree. I wish I was kidding. whatever

the good news is that the majority of people seem to be recognizing this for what it is (bigotry) and rightfully calling her out for it. As shitty as it might feel to be a trans guy right now, I think this is a pretty nice reminder that we do have people on our side. I’ve seen so many people coming out of the woodwork to post transmasc positivity lately bc of this whole debacle, and it’s giving me a lot of hope

also the best addition to come out of all this
