Trans mens struggles with abortion and pregnancy care is different from what cis women have to face. We get denied because we’re men, or we get forced to detransition.

You HAVE to bring us up. Saying only women face this won’t mean anything for us, because even if we do get abortion protections back! Trans men will continue to not be included. We will continue to be detransitioned, be forced out of care, and die because people find it too hard to say people instead of women.

fear - open mouth - backing away - fake smiles - hugging themselves - long / dragged breaths - rocking

jealousy - snide remarks - darting looks - self-deprication - visible judging - folded arms - arguing a fair point

hurt - steadying breaths - overly bobbing head - teary - anger - trembling - pressed lips - insisting everything is 'fine'

lying (ticks) - picking at nails - touching hair - licking lips - laughing too loud - avoids subjects - won't meet eyes

worry - reaching out physically - pursing lips - looking to others - reassuring smiles - looking you up and down - tilted head - sympathetic nod

shame - will not meet eyes - feet turned away - teary - desperate - fidgeting - begging

humiliation - lashes back - cheeks flush - palms turn sweaty - face frowns -> brows scrunch, lips pull back - teary

And seen them driven off by hostility and outright creulty because they "didn't do enough" or their work didn't meet some kind of unrealistic expectations.

What is honestly mindblowing is creators typically do this as a hobby, in free time because they enjoy creating and making stuff to share. Keeping favorite characters alive in some way. But are treated as is they are being paid.

No wonder they are walking away, saying its just not worth struggling to deal with this when it was all meant to be a small bit of fun in there hectic lives.

If they are not treated with at least the most basic of decency that all people deserve, we are all going to loose some amazing creators off this site.
