Not me, but if you’ve been following the drama, they removed this post about the unique issues we face as “divisive.”

It fucking sucks. There’s been a lot of discussion in other trans masc spaces about “transandrophobia” and this seems to absolutely demonstrate it. We aren’t treated seriously in spaces that should be welcoming for us.

People assume “trans” means trans woman. Spaces for trans people are often for trans women. Jamison Green wrote a while back about us not really having our own community, decades ago, and it still feels true today.

A transmasc friend of mine has speculated that this whole transmasc erasure thing is just a continuation of good 'ol misogyny

It just feels sometimes that we aren’t treated as “really” trans, that even in communities we should be respected in we are still viewed as our assigned sex at birth, that the same people who say “trans women are women” don’t really believe trans men are men.

And AFAB non-binary people get it a bit worse, from what I’ve seen.

I’ve noticed it in IRL spaces too, not just online. I don’t really hang out with other queer people anymore.

It feels somewhat similar to how lesbians aren't seen as "threatening" as gay men. If it's doesn't "threaten" fragile cis straight men then it's not in the front of the discussion.
