can you guys be fucking normal on my posts. please

[manstrans]

"cis men saying they want to rape you because they're misogynists and see you as women" do you think I don't know that? do you think my little female brain is so stupid you have to terfsplain it to me? my little womyn brayn is so smol and fragyle I can't grasp basic reality? feminist my ass

[manstrans]

I know I've said this before but I really don't think constantly talking about trans women & fems who are assholes to other trans people is productive. it's fine to call out behavior that sucks but I don't think only focusing on that is going to do much besides further radicalize the people you're talking about

it also waters down our terms to internet discourse and makes it harder to talk about bigger, life-threatening issues. if someone is curious about what issues we face and when they try to look into it all they see is people complaining about trans women & fems it's kind of understandable to see all of us as reactionaries tbh

I get it's easier to talk about intra-community issues. a leaky pipe in your house is always going to suck. but it's kind of like only complaining about the leaky pipe and your plumber during a flood. it's fine to talk about the leaky pipe but we should focus on the bigger problem here

[manstrans]

talking about transmasc issues is crazy because if your post gets popular you'll have someone say "your issues are real but you shouldn't use a word for it" and the very next reply will be something along the lines of "I'm going to rape you and get you pregnant"

[manstrans]

I'm much more stressed all the time than I have any right to be

[manstrans]

I don't even have that much to say. just deleting some of the more awful comments and I'm literally getting sexually harassed and having eugenics wished upon me for daring to ask that people care about pregnancy outside of women. idc how righteous you think you are this shit is genuinely evil to say no matter who you're talking to. if you ever find yourself talking like this you need to take a long break from the internet and think about why this would ever be acceptable to say ever

[manstrans]

sorry I'm just still genuinely baffled by this interaction

"hey guys don't get indoctrinated by shitty ideology"

"you would have to already be shitty to be indoctrinated therefore you are defending the shitty ideology. this is what you meant don't pretend I'm misunderstanding when I'm not"

"if you can be groomed out of detransitioning then are you even trans at all" genuinely evil thing to say when there are countless people living as "dysphoric females" because terfs convinced them their livlihood was mental illness

[manstrans]

THIS POST ISN'T ABOUT TRANS GUYS WHO ARE ASSHOLES IT ISN'T ABOUT EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE OF SOMEONE BEING TRANSMISOGYNISTIC IT'S SPECIFICALLY ABOUT SOMETHING I HAVE SEEN TERFS DO MULTIPLE TIMES I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH CLEARER I CAN BE!!!!!!!

"trans women HATE trans men. they're oppressing you bc of their socialization" <- this is a manipulation tactic by terfs to isolate you from the broader trans community to more easily groom you into detransitioning (and possibly to groom you sexually too tbh). call it out for what it is

re transpaternity

i dont want to be a parent, but i think i could be pregnant, if that makes sense. what about carrying a child isn't masculine? the traits we ascribe to traditional masculinity, even in the most limited way, all apply to pregnancy. it is a long-term test of endurence. you have to physically carry something heavy. you're providing for and sheltering and protecting something. its really not that hard to see it as an inherently masculine process.

and then you realize that masculinity and feminity dont really have hard borders and you start to get scared lol

gender really is what we make it, I love men who get gender euphoria from pregnancy 💙

[manstrans]

'trans men hate trans women' serves to isolate trans men and serves terf purposes. Trans guys should know that it's not true and that trans women aren't going to turn them away. It's radfem bullshit. Anyway, don't put shit in the antitransmasculinity tags if you don't want people to discuss antitransmasculinity on your post.

first half of this I agree with, the second half, huh? I don't mind people discussing what I talk about in the post, but people were misinterpreting my post and one person being condescending while doing so, which is why I made the addition. I don't think wanting random people to not project their own discourse baggage onto my post about a serious topic is such an egregious crime

[manstrans]

this post is about warning trans men & mascs about a manipulation/grooming tactic I've seen employed by terfs to try and detrans us. it is to warn trans men & mascs (especially young ones) about terf manipulation. that is what the post is about. because I don't want to see trans men & mascs be groomed by terfs. hence why the post isn't about something else

"trans women HATE trans men. they're oppressing you bc of their socialization" <- this is a manipulation tactic by terfs to isolate you from the broader trans community to more easily groom you into detransitioning (and possibly to groom you sexually too tbh). call it out for what it is

[manstrans]

for reach to my target audience since I made this post for trans men & mascs after seeing it happen for the umpteenth time

Guys … what if we made art of these politicians having gay sex and being trans… you know what if we made art where the whole joke is someone who I don’t like is gay and trans. I’m so progressive they should give me a medal

[manstrans]

I really really really wish more than a handful of people would make room for trans men & mascs while talking about gendered violence

[manstrans]

fyi that "if trans men are men why would they want to get pregnant" person is a gigantic terf

makes sense I just like trying to answer seemingly genuine questions, even if they don't listen maybe it'll help at least one other person
