I think there is kinda something to be said about how tumblr will go "oh yeah we love and accept trans men! but don't forget, the trans man reading this, to feel constantly guilty over your identity, always triple check everything you do in case you're offending someone halfway across the planet whom you will never meet, never forget you were Born A Woman and therefore Privileged (???), never project yourself onto things unless the majority approve of it, and also we're going to use neurodivergent and transmasc in derogatory ways"

like you're not slick. we know you don't really like us. just because we're men (or masc aligned) doesn't mean you get to take out your frustration with masculinity on us.

#like we talk a lot about how trans women are held to very high standards. which is true.#but also the guys get a lot of shit and people just kind of gloss over it because we're not women #i know im probably gonna get shit for this take #but ill be honest. im tired. ive been feeling shitty about myself lately and a lot of it has been social media influenced #im tired of the internet trying to guilt trip me for being trans. because that's what it is. being constantly made feel like im intruding #or taking away from others just for existing. or that im inherently annoying irrational or misogynistic.#when ironically as a trans man i still face a lot of misogyny myself #people want an enemy so badly huh #and i know it's probably weird seeing someone accept masculinity when you rejected it. but it doesn't give you a reason to treat us poorly.#im sorry it hurts. i really am. but hurting and guilting others isn't the way to cope.#trans #transgender #disk horse #transmasc #scarlet flower blooms
