“And sleepovers! Where we tell each other secrets!” “Ummm, yeah?”

Transmasculinity and trans manhood is as diverse as transfemininity and trans womanhood.

You simply choose to reduce it to because it fits your already existing mentality that casts masculinity and manhood as the inherent oppressor.

Also if you think that way I'm pretty sure I can expect you to ALSO be reductive and exclusionist to any transfem person who doesn't fit your normative ideas... soooo.

No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.

I am on reddit. Which, yeah, hate me for it, but there are a lot of resources for trans people and I only got my top surgery appointment because of it. One thing I have noticed is that cis male chasers are told off (rightfully so.). Cis women chasers are often not even recognised as such. "I want to date a man but I have trauma with cis men, so I'll only date trans men". "I'm a lesbian dating a transmasc guy who does not feel comfortable with being in a lesbian relationship. I secretly wish he'd detransition". "Trans men are just the better men, they understand me as a woman the way cis men never would!" and similar stuff.

And the comments are nothing but supportive. I have seen simalar things on tumblr or various other social media sites. I luckily have not seen this outside if the Internet very much. At least not this extreme.

I have a very set opinion on this and am biased. I would personally never date someone who wouldn't date a cis man. I am gay and only interested in men, I want to be seen as a man by my partner. I am very uncomfortable with lesbians being into me and have made a bad experience with that. I would not want to date someone who dates me because I'm trans. This is a piece of personal opinion.

Note: This is not aimed against women. Only against chasers of all genders.

Lol was this you

Seriously bruh, if you wanna make a case about nutritional defecits and the declining vitamin and mineral content in agricultural produce, the overall failure of public school physical education to provide any productive and meaningful instruction on personal health and correct methods of exercise, the ever-increasing cost of healthy foods, and the frankly shameful rate of child hunger and food waste all collectively contributing to poorer health in persons of ALL body types, I'm happy to play ball, but if the beginning and end of your platform is "there are more fat people than there used to be and being fat is bad so promoting eating disorders and drug abuse is good actually" then you are straight up wasting everyone's time

"Uhhh but everyone was skinny in 1920 look at this "fat lady" who was in a freak show at the circus lol and look how average she would be now" do you have any idea how many vitamins and other supplements we have had to insert into the food and water supply to combat widespread malnutrition in the last several decades

You realize how many people had teeth rotting out of their heads before we put fluoride in drinking water

Jesus fucking christ, google "B12 defecit"

The population was skinnier because we were constantly on the precipice of dying from shit like low zinc, you absolute dingbat

Humans having variable metabolisms within the same population is not just normal, it’s fucking awesome. It’s one of the things that made us so adaptable and able to spread across the world. It is quite literally integral to our success as a species. If a drought hits in your small hunter-gatherer community and kills off all your prey, you know who’s going to survive? The people who metabolize fat slower and thus can survive longer without food. That’s why humans are fat sometimes. It’s insurance against uncertain futures.

(And, in fact, people who have immediate ancestors who went through periods of starvation are more like to hold onto fat. If you starve yourself to be skinny, your grandchildren are more likely to be overweight. Diet culture is directly linked to more people being fat. So. There. Source:)
