You're just ableist.

I see actually quite a lot of transmascs who are NOT MEN specifically, consistently come into the tag to try to explain to us that transandrophobia doesn't exist etc etc etc.

And, here's the thing: if you're a transmasculine person who is constantly being regendered and misgendered and having femininity pushed onto you, because you are also specifically not a trans man, you aren't likely going to understand what it's like to be vilified for your identity as a transgender man specifically. Unless you're fully transitioning in all the same ways binary trans men are, it's obvious that you are not going to see the ways that people use manhood & masculinity against us in tandem with transphobia, sexism, cissexism, intersexism, etc etc etc, in the way transandrophobia specifically talks about.

I understand there is a lot of overlap in experiences between these two groups, and I personally toe the line between transmasculine person and transgender man constantly, as someone who outwardly presents as a passing binary man, who used to identify as such, but now I identify as a genderqueer transmasculine person for various personal reasons of my own gender journey.

But still. It's very clear to me that there are some experiences, which are specifically described by transandrophobia, that a lot of transmasculine people do not or have not yet encountered, and it's obvious when these people discount transandrophobia theory with their personal experiences and explanation of what "the real transmasculine oppression" is, and it all very pointedly omits the types of experiences when trans men and transmasculine people are targeted for their masculinity/manhood.

You have to actually ACTIVELY unlearn all that shit. You can actually be trans AND hold TERF and racist beliefs, it is in fact very easy.

Why is it “kill all men yes even the trans ones and if you say otherwise you’re an MRA” and not “let’s maybe create a world that encourages good men.” Did we forget that feminism was supposed to be good for everyone and that the patriarchy harms men and boys as well?

Like maybe we should care about male loneliness and the male suicide rate BECAUSE MAYBE WED HAVE FEWER SOCIETAL PROBLEMS if 100% of the population wasn’t traumatized by gendered expectations and not being taught decent communication skills/how to be emotionally vulnerable. And definitely we would if fucking redpill echo chambers weren’t the places most willing to accept and nurture (groom into hateful ideology) young men.
