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.

Dude there are still so many people even other trans people that think trans men and transmasc nonbinary people aren't actually real it's fucking wild. I've seen so many of them get treated by default like the only reason they transition is because they are so tired of misogyny they decided to join The Patriarchy to escape it.

It's like people literally believe "Eww, Men are evil who would want to be one willingly?" idk, I feel like that's a pretty strong argument that they are actually trans but what do I know?
