I am a Giyuu simp

and better

Because if that doesn't just sum up how people talk about trans men & mascs.

You say "I advocate for trans men's rights" and they'll respond "oh so you hate trans women??"

Like. No, but we are talking about trans men. Fucking obviously I will fight tooth and nail for trans women & fems, I'd sooner choke on broken glass than abandon my trans sisters. I just ALSO think transmasc folks such as myself deserve a platform and the ability to talk about the issues we face in everyday life due to transphobia, and yes, transandrophobia.

because we're constantly erased from topics. We're either not "as oppressed" as trans women, or we're just not included in LGBTQ groups because we're men. If a trans man dates a cis guy, he's "fetishizing real gay couples" if a trans guy dates a cis girl, people say "why become a guy, just be a lesbian" if two trans men date eachother, people just tell them to "just be butch lesbians" and if a trans guy dates a trans girl, BOTH are treated weirdly, others say "you're straight anyways, why even transition to begin with?"

When I (transmasc) have said "I'm scared because I'm in the US and trans people keep getting killed" I was deadass told "well, trans women get killed at higher rates, so you're just being dramatic"

Trans men are highly targeted by rapists. They have been forcibly impregnated to stop their transition.

I have been sent death threats by trans women for discussing transandrophobia.
