Not me, but if you’ve been following the drama, they removed this post about the unique issues we face as “divisive.”

It fucking sucks. There’s been a lot of discussion in other trans masc spaces about “transandrophobia” and this seems to absolutely demonstrate it. We aren’t treated seriously in spaces that should be welcoming for us.

People assume “trans” means trans woman. Spaces for trans people are often for trans women. Jamison Green wrote a while back about us not really having our own community, decades ago, and it still feels true today.

maybe trans men would be treated more seriously by trans women if they didn't use straight-up MRA talking points like androphobia.

reminds me of cis dudes trying to make themselves the "real" victims of patriarchy.

you're oppressed for being trans, not for being a man. therefore the andro in transandrophobia is entirely unnecessary.

after misogyny became a popular term due to the feminist movement, men tried making misandry be a real term for experiencing oppression by women. after Black Lives Matter, there were the white people using All Lives Matter as a pro-cop dogwhistle.
