You're correct and it makes my skin crawl.

They do protect each other. "They didn't do any of that", fakeclaiming evidence no matter what format it's in, denying and warping definitions to suit their narratives...People still deny Lily Orchard publicly groomed a 15 year old to this day, even though she was very publicly flirting with and encouraging the 15 year old to draw sexual artwork for her.

You DO deserve a community that uplifts you. You DO deserve to experience trans joy. You DO deserve to have your voices heard and your struggles recognized. Wanting the bare minimum of solidarity is NOT "making everything about trans men".

It’s absolutely ethical to bully pedophiles and zoophiles and make them feel unwelcome in queer spaces.

Oh so they've gotten so comfortable that they're wearing the old symbols just. Out in public on their person now.

So let’s rephrase it.

“Do trans men belong in women’s spaces clinics that offer services meant for those with vaginas, uteruses, etc?” If they have the relevant anatomy that needs care, then obviously yes. I’m sorry, do you want trans men to get cancer and die because it went undetected too long? Because that’s how you get trans men to get cancer and die because it went undetected too long. Also, why is that space considered a women’s space to begin with and why should we let it stay that way?

“Do trans men belong in women’s spaces feminist advocacy groups fighting for abortion rights?” Yes because leaving trans men out means the people writing the law can simply forget trans men exist and write it in such a way where some asshole familiar with the law can use the exact wording to justify denying necessary care to a trans man because he is a trans man. If the law says “no woman should be denied access to abortion care…” and the trans man is legally a man, he will find himself in the same situation as the trans man who gets that phone call from his insurance saying “hey, sorry, but since you’re a man, we’re not covering that pap smear and you will be charged the full amount.” Not just in terms of paying either. “If you were a real man, you wouldn’t need an abortion. Come back after you fix your documents so they indicate you’re a female, but like, maybe motherhood would fix you so. Idk not my problem anymore. Goodbye!”

“Do trans men belong in women’s spaces lesbian book clubs or whatever?” They’re probably already there anyway and they’re not causing any problems just by being men in what is traditionally a women’s only thing. Plus, chances are they’ve been there since before coming out as trans so you’d just be kicking him out for coming out. I don’t have to explain to anyone why that’s kind of messed up, right?

This is not a transfem vs transmasc battle. Stop generalizing or assuming hostility from your fellow trans people, we're all in this together. It's people's actions not identity that define their character, is this not something we say frequently? "Don't assume I'm a predator/misogynist/bigot because I'm a trans man/masc/use he/him pronouns"? If you truly believe this you will extend it to others also.

Many of our greatest allies in the fight against transmasc erasure are transfems. You should also be an ally to transfems. Stop with your generalizations.

And while you're at it, remember those who don't fit into the binary. Transneutral, bigender, agender, genderqueer and all. Stop ignoring their existence, they are part of our battle too.
