sorta funny how many cis people seem to think being an ally just means like. not actively commiting hate crimes. "i'm an ally i'm just worried that hrt is dangerous and i dont like when they shove pride right in our faces and i think all this sjw stuff in movies is unrealistic and im worried about the children-" okay. so i dont think you know what that word means,

In the last two decades, there has been a growing body of literature on trans health in India. However, most research is limited to HIV/AIDS and primarily focuses on trans women. Studies on trans men or transmasculine identities and their healthcare needs and experiences in India have received little scholarly attention. Even globally, the literature on trans men’s health is relatively scant, with existing studies conducted mainly in Western countries. There exists a dearth of government data and statistics on trans men in India. The only attempt to enumerate the transgender population was made by the national census, which categorised them as ‘other.’ The census estimated 4,87,803 transgender people in India. However, several transgender activists have argued that this number is a considerable miscalculation and an inaccurate representation of the entire transgender community in India. Moreover, the lack of official data on trans men also risks under-allocating funds for much-needed welfare programmes. Moreover, trans men experience direct and indirect discrimination in healthcare settings. Such experiences include being asked invasive or inappropriate questions about their bodies, invalidating their gender identity via misgendering, deadnaming, and being denied healthcare or receiving low-quality care. Sometimes, it also includes physical mishandling and verbal harassment by the hospital staff and co-patients or not being allowed to enter certain hospital wards or spaces. [...] For many trans men, the family becomes the first space for mental and physical violence and outright rejection of their identity, with instances of forced heterosexual marriages or corrective rape. Vinay (name changed), a 30-year-old trans man from Punjab, says, “Family says ‘you’re ruining our reputation, get married, have one-two kids and then everything will be fine.’ They even use rape as a measure saying ‘you don’t know who you are, and when it happens, then you’ll know [your true sexual orientation].’”  Many have to deal with uninformed healthcare providers unwilling to treat them because of their gender identity. Lack of knowledge amongst medical professionals and poor social understanding of trans men means that trans men often have to self-advocate and explain their health-related issues and gender identity to medical practitioners who constantly challenge or dismiss their identity. This self-advocacy and mental effort to explain or justify one’s gender identity and expression often leads to emotional exhaustion. Soham (name changed), a 24-year- old trans man from New Delhi, recounts his experience of going to a hospital,  “The doctor came and shouted my dead name. There were a lot of people in the emergency room and I remember feeling numb for a second…He shouted, ‘Is this you? Yehi naam hai aapka?’ (‘Is this you? Is this your name?’)…Then he literally pointed at my chest and said your chest is so flat, do you have your periods? I was numb and I didn’t say anything. I didn’t get my medicine, I didn’t tell him my problem, I just went home and I locked myself in my room for a week.”

I will be so fucking frl cis men joining in on harassing trans men here isn’t even remotely surprising to me the more I think about it cause like. You see cis men pretend to be lesser/prostrate themselves in front of cis women to signal that they’re #oneofthegoodones in leftist spaces instead of actually doing anything feminist so often (like saying “ugh, men, right?” or “sorry for being a man, god don’t we suck so much?”). They’re held to much lower standards than literally anyone else, because “well at least they aren’t sexually harassing me or disregarding me or generally being a raging misogynist!” and meanwhile they ARE being massive misogynists and transphobes, just not to women

you would think the people who complain so often about men speaking over them or others because theyre part of a marginalized gender would give a shit when a cis man is speaking over people of a marginalized gender, but it appears that these people dont see us as marginalized for our genders at all. out of hate theyve decided to ally with transphobes and label us their oppressors, implying we’re just as bad if not worse than cis men as a class (the overexaggeration/hyperfocus on trans men potentially turning into misogynists, the rhetoric around T making you angry and dangerous, the lie that trans men are corrupting cis girls and turning them trans, etc). and, gee, i wonder where else we’ve seen self-proclaimed feminists ally with bigots in order to supposedly “protect women” from so-called “evil men”!

to the trans people who’d rather stand beside cis transphobes than trans men and mascs: these kinds of cis people ultimately will never truly cherish you, you will not be allowed into their mean girls club or be invited to their boys night, because they dont want justice for you or anyone else, they want an acceptable target. when we’re gone, who do you think comes next?

Some of you seem to think the only option for cis men who don't want to go bald is to go on T blockers and start taking estrogen.
