#and no specifying cis men doesnt make it better

A friend of mine just posted on instagram, "Men who aren't trash don't give a shit when you call men trash"

And I know we've gone over this before but

I've spent 26 years of my life, and counting, fighting to be allowed to exist as a man, for my own rights and autonomy. I have spent 26 years and counting being taught that I'm inferior and unworthy of even the most basic human connection due to my queerness, my transness, my masculinity. And I certainly didn't do it so other queer people can decide that I deserve to be insulted for it, or that not wanting to be insulted for it makes me deserve to be insulted for it even more.

Trans men deserve better than this.
