I used to think I was trans, and I wasn't ready for all the transphobia I faced from women and girls. Out of everyone, they were the most transphobic group I faced by far.

Read works by trans men and non-binary people who were afab. Talk to trans men and non-binary people who were afab. Once you do that, you'll realize that they're not choosing to "leave" your gender out of hatred for women. They're not some kind of anti-feminist gender traitors.

And they're not inherently any more gross, disgusting, or unclean than cis men are. Even when I identified as trans, I'd see other queer people talking about how "trans men are so gross -- they don't even moisturize."

When you see trans men as more unclean than cis men, you're not really seeing them as men. You're seeing them as women who failed at being women, and you need to stop.

I could go on and on about how women and girls treated me when I was trans. There was always an implication that I was attracted to them specifically when I wasn't. I could talk about hate crimes and violence and suicide.

Some of the ghouls design, I was bored 👏🏻
