in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

trans man here. I don’t hate trans women who just actually want to live their lives and cope with dysphoria, however the ones who are obsessed with women having sex with them and the whole world validating how woman they are can fucking die lol. I know a lot of people like me feel the same however we’re basically not allowed to speak up about it because we’re “trans misogyny exempt” keep doing the lords work, it’s always nice to see a terf who has rational arguments beyond just calling ftms mutilated and mtfs ugly

Hey :) so thank you for reaching out! I still think that we would disagree on some stuff, but I really appreciate you reading through my stuff and considering some of it.

And you are right, trans men are not allowed to speak up in trans spaces about how some trans women behave. (Biologically) straight males posit themselves as the mostest oppressed uwu beans of all, while biological females are said to have privilege because they're men now. And what is the result? Rampant incel behaviour, fetishization, talking over people, and harassment (and rape in one case I witnessed). Trans men are socialized as female and told to be caring and kind, and this is shamelessly exploited in trans spaces by biological males. And the worst thing is that many trans men aren't even aware of that, because they supposedly have "male privilege" now and should shut up and stop complaining.

(to illustrate that I made this meme on ms paint lmao)

But I think that there are some things you can do. You can get together with the people you know who think like you and talk about your experiences. You can talk about what you wish changed in the trans community. You can look into how female socialization makes people susceptible to manipulation and you can allow yourself to be fucking angry. Angry at a world that forces you to shut up, to take it, to behave a certain way. And maybe there are instances where you can stand up, maybe with others, maybe in small ways.

(Also, thank you, I try not to insult people's bodies and I don't think that trans men are "mutilated". But I also think that it is legitimate for people who have gone through trauma to be really fucking mad, even if it is not always "nice". It is important for women to have a space to vent, especially about males.)
