Why aren't transmasculine people allowed a word for the specific kind of discrimination we face? Why must there always be something wrong with it, and then people always get hung up on the wording rather than the fact that there is a group of trans people who are facing problems, real world problems that people disregard as anything meaningful?
Why must we always be erased and forgotten, never seen as who we are because we are masculine. Why do people think this is okay, to hurt others because of who they are? Why must people parrot the same rhetoric transphobes and TERFS say but to people who share rhe same community?
Why must we be divided on something that is happening, has happened historically and still happens now? Why can't people accept that transmasc people face discrimination that is different than "just transphobia" than "just misogyny" that we experience things that others don't and experience things others do? Is it because we're masculine?
I don't understand why people come on here and hate, come on here and loathe, come on here and say that we do not experience bad things, because we do. It is not the "Oppression Olympics" I am trying to compete in, I just want the pain experienced by people like me to be recognised, for people to understand and sympathise or empathise or just be compassionate to the experiences, the shaming, the bigotry, the discrimination, the outcasting and the other horrible things that happen to us.
I don't understand why all of that gets pushed aside because people transition to become masculine or to become men. Please understand I am not trying to take away from anyone else, but we are trying to be heard, when all we have ever been is forgotten.
