i get confused when people say dogs dont actually understand human speech because they're just reacting to sounds... bitch that's all we do too. humans make very specific sounds at each other and connect meaning to them. just because dogs dont understand it to the extent we do doesn't mean they don't understand at all.

I agree that dogs can understand things to some extent, but we definetely dont just react to sounds. Obviously reacting to sounds is part of it, but if that was all this was then we would be very limited in our use of language. We need to be able to derive conclusions from the sounds, to connect it to other informations, to contest it, etc; these arent properly and simply reactions.

“Trans men truly are the men of trans people” — how about you unpack that for me. Don’t pretty it up, tell me what you mean. Do you think they’re more violent? More misogynistic? Tell me why you think that. Are you negatively generalizing the whole community (the literal definition of bigotry) based on bad experiences you’ve had, or are you just sharing straight up transphobic rhetoric.

Also unpacking this about men in general, to some extent? Bc if that's what you associate with men in general, unpacking this stuff should be done on both sides, even though it can be understandable to some limited extent.

Agreed; I’ve been abused by multiple men; I know it’s hard! I’ve had to do a lot of work to unpack how I think & act about them, & I wish other people would do that work as well before taking it out on already marginalized men.

I want to add that I get the distinct feeling this attitude does not carry over to transgirls who are not currently passing or performing their gender, whether that's because it's an off day, they're exhausted, or just not out of the closet full time. If you base your support, or show your support through exclaiming how sexy you think transwomen are, your support will feel temporary and contractual, and if you *actually* base your support on how cute you think we are, it probably is.

I mean, this is how misogyny affects all of us? not unique to trans girls, really a statement about all girls, every one of these posts.
