people still use the term transsexual, transsexual is a term steeped in trans history and trans liberation because transness is not just about the gender binary but also about the sex binary. for many people transness is inherently related to their sex and they are trying to change their sex. sex is not an irrefutable, immutable fact and the sooner people accept that the sooner trans, nonbinary and intersex liberation becomes a possibility. I hate the sentiment that gender is a changeable social construct and sex is a biological fact because sex is also a changeable social construct.

all of these things are correct, but it's all many people will ever say, people will derail entire conversations with this, at this point they feel like empty words.

it's an easy way for people to do the barest of minimums and not have to learn more about exorsexism, let alone unlearn their own. they said "nonbinary doesn't have to look like anything" and pat themselves on the back.

roblox rolls out their age group system, and you can no longer talk to any adults on the platform. you can only talk to people in person, i.e. your parents, who are horrid. now you're back at square one, being helplessly abused. to make it worse, you're homeschooled, as I was. you can't reach out to anyone at school for support either.

or maybe you're not homeschooled, and you ask your pronouns to be used at school. it goes well for a while, and you feel some relief.

then your state passes a bill that requires forced outing. your teachers report to your parents that you've been trying out a different name and pronouns.

they pull you from school, send you to boarding school or conversion therapy, and force you to attend private schools in the future that match their values.

you are entirely under their control. you could've made connections with other adults, ones willing to help you out. to treat you like a human, give you access to life saving care. and it's stripped away, you're alone, and everything feels hopeless.

1) We are treated worse than trans women

2) All, a majority of, or even most of our problems are caused by trans women

It has only ever meant that we have a different, intersectional struggle influenced by both our transness and our masculinity. Not that men are the real victims, or that women actually have it better, but that there are ways in which our transmasculine bodies and identities are politicized in ways affected by anti-masculine sentiments. About men being gross, and violent, and uncontrollable monsters.

Our goal of self determination and liberation is in absolutely no way analagous to women-hating gamergate style MRAs. Cut the oppositional shit out and stop mapping cis gender dynamics onto trans people 1:1

When you say “Transandrobro cunts are just TMRAS. Don’t listen to them about their own experiences, listen to me, who knows that women (general) are the most victimized people on earth,” you sound like literal TERFS who insist, “Tranny fags are just TRAS. Don’t listen to them about their own experiences, listen to me, who knows that women (cis) are the most victimized people on earth.”

But when I, a trans male, do it, everyone questions if I'm still identifying as a man

“B-b-but what about trans men who look exactly like cis men! Stealthing trans men have male privilege!”

They aren’t being awarded privilege for being a trans man. They’re being awarded privilege for an incorrect assumption that they’re cis. This may be what some trans men want—to be seen exactly the same as cis men—however this is not the reality of trans men as a whole.
