"trans men have no culture" "trans men really are the men of the trans community" "trans men don't experience unique oppression" "trans men cling to being afab" hi have you considered that maybe you have some sort of bias which is why you don't talk to us or know anything about us

Being a trans man/masc is living like a disembodied narrator who can only communicate your personhood through external sociocultural references because everyone around you lacks a frame of reference for your existence, despite being present all throughout human history.

Had someone look me straight in the eye and call me a “real life omega boy” because I’m a man who can get pregnant, when I was talking with people about abortions and mentioning that trans men are so often blatantly excluded from this convo as a man who wants to carry his own child one day. I felt so gross and fetishised. She was acting like it was so funny and was super weird about it . imagine having that much brain rot.

Calling sick to work with rapid onset gender dysphoria. Sorry can’t come in today I’m being brainwashed by the media to be trans.

Trans person: Someone thought I was a cis man this one time, so they didn't hate crime me

People who claims they definitely aren't a r/ad//fem: I knew it. This trans person is really an Evil Male, after me specifically.

People on here talk about 'male privilege' as if it is some sort of corrupting amulet

Cannot get over how there’s actually overlap between “people who insist trans men have some form of male privilege” and “people who absolutely refuse to call trans men men”

You live a very boring life if you think kinks need to be rooted in reality or peer reviewed.

I like forcemasc, because they keep saying that we're going to turn their precious daughters, wives, and lesbian lovers into men, and we keep saying that sounds like a really hot porn premise.

Hey, to the guy who sent me an anon a few days ago, it's so personal that I'm hesitating replying publicly, but I just wanted to let you know that I heard you, and thank you very much!

as someone with ARFID i really couldn't care less about the distinction between "picky eaters" and "genuine eating issues." if you are an asshole to someone you see as "just picky" i will never, ever trust you. i've lived through the trauma of being shamed and humiliated for my eating needs.

frankly i think a LOT of "picky eaters" have some kind of sensory problems– autistic or allistic– and shame is never useful. i don't fucking care how annoying you think we are. if you've never lived through the humiliation of being the only one not eating at a dinner table, or having to choke down something disgusting you already know you hate because other people insist you don't know your own body, or getting a hunger migraine in a house full of food because none of its edible to you? you don't understand how awful it is to have food issues.

whenever i see people draw this distinction between being "just a picky eater" and "having a real problem" all i think is, who does this serve? most people don't even know ARFID exists. there are so many undiagnosed autistics, or just people with a variety of issues that aren't officially diagnosed. why do we need a medical label in order to be treated with respect and compassion? why did i need to be diagnosed as autistic for my family to realize the abuse they put me through for years because of my eating habits?

it's such an easy habit for neglected groups to fall into– the idea that a medical diagnosis can save us. that by appealing to the medical/psychiatric industry, we can be protected from abuse and given basic respect and resources. but the truth is that it should never have come to this in the first place. dignity doesn't come from an abled doctor telling you that there's a medical reason for your symptoms. it comes from being a person. once you accept that you need a Good Reason to have your needs respected, you doom yourself to neglecting and abusing those who have your same struggles because they aren't lucky enough to access medical recognition.

tl;dr solidarity with all "picky eaters" stop guilting people for having varying food needs, if we make you irrationally angry that's YOUR problem not ours, and abolish "children's menus" & replace them with simple-food menus for people of all ages

The implicit or explicit r//dfem belief, that the only bigotry that Really exists is misogyny is a really odd one. Like, it's stupid to single out a single form of bigotry as the True One, but you're not even going to consider class? How do you think your clothes are made?

Me: hey there's a big issue with anti-masculinity in queer and leftist spaces. Trans fems, if they don't constantly perform hyperfemininity and aren't little and skinny and white, are demonised and people call them pedophiles because there's such a dislike of any association with masculinity. Trans mascs are told they're "whiny MRAs" when they talk about the oppression they face. Masculine intersex people are erased or told they should just be more feminine if they don't want people to be scared of them for looking masculine. People act like marginalised men (queer men, trans men, men of colour, etc, intersex men) aren't actually marginalised because they're men. The vocal "all men literally ARE evil" rhetoric isn't actually venting when it's constant and public, it's harming marginalised men and is a contributing factor to teens and young cis (often but not always het) going down the alt-right pipeline, and is directly linked with trans people not transitioning or being too scared to transition because by becoming a man they are becoming "the enemy". There's the idea of "women +" or "women and nonbinary," which positions all nonbinary people as 'basically women' or affiliated with femininity, and in practice ends up pushing away anyone who appears or identifies with masculinity, regardless of their gender identity. Butches are treated as if they're just sex toys, or that they're scary and dangerous because of their masc presentation. This is actually a huge, pervasive issue that is further hurting already marginalised people AND is pushing potential allies away because it's making them feel bad for something they can't control (being men.)

Dumbasses: lol op thinks cis men are oppressed by minorities
