#transmasc issues

I've drunken a strawberry shortcake milkshake:3

Became very dysphoric when buying a new swimming costume cuz everything was too feminine and I suddenly became hyper aware of how feminine I looked.

It’s just as bad in real life, if not worse, than it is online- even though I will say people online are generally more open/overt about their bigotry, whereas in real life it’s a lot of the time more covert, I think because people are more afraid of the consequences of sharing their opinions with their whole chest in real life as opposed to online (but not necessarily, it depends on context).

And like… y’all do realize that the people who post stuff like “bomb that kills all tboys” or “testosterone HRT makes transmascs become violent and predatory”, are a lot of the time real people who don’t exclusively exist on the internet, and sometimes even involve themselves in real life queer spaces, right?

I see a lot of people say generally transandrophobic things that are hurtful to people like myself online, and I see a lot of other transmasc people get personally targeted online, but just in my own experience, the vast majority of times I’ve ever been personally targeted by transandrophobia were in real life, despite the fact that I talk about the topic of ATM/transandrophobia online WAY more than I ever bring it up in real life- mostly because online I feel comfortable enough to do so, whereas in real life I only really feel safe bringing up the topic with my partner and occasionally close/long time friends.
