it drives me up the fucking wall the amount of people saying trans men don’t experience male privilege. because by saying that, not only are they degendering all trans men, they’re also denying *my* lived experience. i’ve been living as a man for EIGHT YEARS. once i started looking for male privilege that myself and my close trans male friends experience i never stopped noticing it.
and you’re going to tell me what? that my friends and i didn’t experience these things? that i’m lying? all because you don’t want to confront your own privilege? all because a trans woman dared say you need to check your misogyny? that’s ridiculous.
yes, all trans men will have different experiences, but that doesn’t change the fact that trans. men. are. men.
