The Ultimate So4

For one, many of us are talking about "real" experiences in "real life." If you were actually listening instead of just waiting your turn to open your mouth, you'd have noticed that simple fact. Use your context clues.

And, what infuriates me most: "Be grateful for being invisible. Accept that invisibility is always a privilege". It is not. Neither Invisibility nor Hypervisibility are a privilege. Both are shitty, yes.

Also, trans men and transmascs are not invisible. The only people we are invisible to are our allies. We are seen as a risk, a danger, people who are just some doses of lifesaving treatment short of becoming misogynistic, alt-right republican voters. Or the media paints us as confused little girls. So many allies and even people from our own community don't even mention us, either we are bad "for the cause" because we're men and men are bad for the community or we are bad "for the cause" because we are a risk when making people support trans people and believe in the science. One of the most common transphobic arguments is "protect the children", "save young, delusional girls whose transition numbers are exploding". And very often, that argument is about trans men and transmascs. To not have that argument, we are thrown under the bus.

Then, there are those who don't forget us. And those are, of fucking course, the transphobes. They sure as hell don't ignore us. If I got a dollar for every time I heard someone say "protect girls from trans ideology", some shit about "Healthy breasts/wombs" or "girls that age can't know if they are trans", I'd be a rich man. For some reason, a surprisingly large number of people, even people from our community or adjacent to it do not realise that this is transphobia.

And seriously, if I hear the "trans men pass faster/ better" or the "estrogenised puberty doesn't change the body as much" (then where the fuck did I get those boobs from that I have to get cut off? Huh? Where?!)

hey so genuine question, what power does the average out trans guy hold over trans women? openly trans men arent treated by men by society, because that would require society to acknowledge theres nothing wrong with being trans (a society that most of us dont live in btw.)

we're beaten and raped and murdered, just like trans women and transfems are. we're silenced and called hysterical for speaking out about the unique oppression transmascs and trans men face, even by our own community. we're told to sit down and shut up during pride rallies when we deserve to be there just as much as anyone else. we're treated horribly, yet its okay because we dont face the exact same oppression you face.
