This is just your regular free-of-charge reminder that when people argue that transandrophobia does not exist, or that its not important enough to talk about, they are explicitly saying they don't care about sexual assault victims or victims of suicide (among other things).
Over half of all AFAB nonbinary people and trans men are or will be the victims of sexual assault. These are the highest rates in the community.
About 9 out of every 10 trans men have seriously considered attempting suicide. This is the highest rate in the community.
About half of all trans men have or will attempt suicide. This is the highest rate in the community.
Addressing these issues means talking about them, and we need a word for what this is in order to do that.
This is what "transandrophobia" is for. This is why we need that word.
It's not about hurting or blaming trans women, it's not about saying cis men are oppressed for being men or that cis women aren't, it's not a "white issue" or an "MRA" thing- and the people who argue that it is, and that we shouldn't have the word because it is, are distracting from the real issues. They are taking attention away from, ignoring, and erasing those issues. They not only do not care about them- they want you not to care, too.
They want to remove the language we need in order to talk about these problems. They want us to stop taking about them. They want these problems to continue happening.
