Being a trans man is a very lonely thing and I feel like not a lot of people talk about that Trans men are in this weird limbo where you're either 'too feminine' for cis people and they treat you in a mix of transphobia and misogyny because they only see you as your asab or you're 'too masculine' for trans people and are expected to just sit down and shut up and never try to talk about the specific issues you face as a trans person because there's this weird idea that as soon as a trans man comes out or is on hormones, suddenly he's the same as a cis man and can't possibly experience discrimination

most of the trans discourse on this site can be translated to someone telling other person their bullet wound is more infected than the other person's and that they are privileged over other infected bullet wound havers instead of going to the hospital, meanwhile, the person who shot them both walks free, isn't held accountable and keeps shooting people.

Sometimes you see a take so dogshit like "trans men can't meaningfully reclaim femininity because they've always had the privilege of performing it without consequences" that you have to resist the urge to just go off the grid and leave everyone around you to fend for themselves

I'm growing increasingly disillusioned with the way the trans community as a whole expects trans men to pretend that they have never in their past or present experienced misogyny. Like someone could word for word say the most fouly misogynistic shit to me that is only being said to me because I'm transmasc, if it was said to a cis women the same people who insist I could never really be imoacted by misogyny would very much be able to call a duck a duck
