It Really Is Convenient That When People Want To Erase And Minimize The Danger That Trans Mascs Face

it really is convenient that when people want to erase and minimize the danger that trans mascs face there's suddenly never a middle step between being pre-everything and being fully transitioned and perfectly passing, and trans mascs are always conveniently the safest one in every situation.

trans mascs have "afab privilege" because at any given moment they could just pretend to be a conventionally feminine cis woman for safety (which as we know has no associated trauma or danger to it whatsoever).

and of course trans mascs Also have male privilege, because at any given moment they can Only be read as cis men so long as they don't disclose that they're trans (because it's So Easy for trans people to be gender conforming to everyone's standards 100% of the time with no risk of being outed, obviously).

there's never a thought given towards what happens to trans mascs who are somewhere in between or who present one way in the wrong situation.

what happens to the trans masc who's been on T for 10 years who's visibly pregnant? who needs to escape an abusive situation? are they supposed to just perfectly pass as a cis woman to never experience transphobia and get the help that they need? is that their afab privilege at work?

what happens to people who are too masculine to pee in women's restrooms without the risk of getting harassed (or potentially arrested or murdered) but too feminine to risk getting clocked in the men's restrooms? is it male privilege to be afraid of what might happen to you no matter where you go?

and what happens to the fully transitioned trans mascs who don't Want to be masculine, who don't Want to be gender conforming? what happens to the trans mascs who are pre-everything who don't Want to be feminine?

are trans mascs supposed to just conform to whatever gender people Think they should be regardless of how they feel about it forever? and then what, disappear in the middle and come back when they're "Basically Cis Men" ?

what if you don't Want top surgery? what if you don't Want bottom surgery? what if you Can't do hrt for health or safety or money reasons? are you supposed to just suffer forever and choose the safest way to present and call it Privilege?

and none of this is Only relevant to trans mascs, of course it's not.

but trans mascs never get spoken about like we're visibly trans or visibly gnc (unless it's to make fun of us for having huge tits and wanting to go by he/him). and That's what erasure is. to pretend like our experiences do not exist and insist that we don't Deserve help or community because we Obviously have it so easy.

The way "transemasculation" has been seemingly re-coined as the sole replacement for transandrophobia, anti-transmasculinity, etc. is gross enough by itself, but as far as I can tell, the term had ALREADY been coined in 2022 ALONG WITH talking about antimasculism (both described here). And I just. I knew it wasn't in good faith in the first place, but to not even do 5 minutes of research before trying to coin a term about experiences you don't have...? Hello?

if you still fucking talk about "transfems are more visible than transmascs and that's unfair and means transmascs have it worse" just think for one second about what kind of visibility transfems are getting and shut the fuck up maybe

most insufferable shit in the world is when theyre like noooo you dont get it. we're discriminated against because society views us as failing to conform to our agab, something Trans Women would Not Understand. are you fucked

U ever notice that the trans archetypes the things that become big talking points and we have endless sludge discourse over forever are all always centered around trans women and what they do or don't do or what they like or don't like. have you ever seen anyone argue that a trans man binding or changing his posture & body language or getting gender affirming surgery is giving into sexist stereotypes? I haven't. Have you seen transmascs, their interests, their hobbies and their community, turned into prepackaged archetypes to crack unfunny jokes about like trans women are? I haven't. and i've certainly never seen people pound their fists loudly about how dangerous and fundamentally unsafe transmascs are, how they shouldn't be allowed in childcare or healthcare or working with women. I think literally every single creator or blogger i've followed who's been unpersoned in public consciousness overnight has been transfem It must be nice to simply be. It must be nice to not have to scrutinize yourself every second of every day, to not have the knowledge that everyone around you has such an easy way to turn you into a joke or a danger, and if they don't then they can invent one.

too lazy to make this an actual well articulated post rn but here are some snippets of a conversation i had tonight

two discord messages from me, reading "oh absolutely!! honestly i think a lot of transmasc hate is inseparable from misogyny just bc. like you said. ppl see us a girls/women fairly often. like i think you can draw a direct parallel between the way things commonly enjoyed by teen girls n young women r mocked n the way transmasc names, self expression, etc are mocked"
message from me reading "like this has been happening for Ages. people don't hate transmasc interests because they're feminine, they see these interests as feminine because they hate transmascs"

watching y’all shamelessly send transmascs and trans men death and rape threats for daring to talk about their oppression is fucking wild btw. There’s a transmasc confessions account that got so many fucking death/rape threats that one mod had to leave tumblr for a while and the other had to make a post being like “hey uhm so we’re both minors. Y’all have been telling teens to kill themselves. Hope you feel good about yourselves!”

Genuinely what the fuck is wrong with you people.

I put this in the comments but I figured I'd put it in reblogs too

I think what anon is referring to is not the coining of the term nonbinary itself, but instead the person who made the nonbinary flag. Here's one of the posts stating why they pushed for the term and flag.

Tumblr
hi there. i saw your post about making a non binary flag and i was wondering why non binary is considered separate from genderqueer? i thoug

#we can't have anything focused on our mascness and all more general trans terms ('egg'/'t-slur'/'t4t') all actually Belong to trans women#we're chock full of cooties and if we use the wrong words or try to make our own we're just gonna infect the trans community with them

can I add just remember non-binary got made because “too many” afab genderqueer people were in the tags so it was made for amab ones.?? Still don’t know how any of that worked but I will never use nb over genderqueer after finding that out

I was trying to look into this but couldn't find anything indicating that. Would you mind sharing where you heard that from? The term seems to have been coined on its own but not popularized until the 2010s or so; I wouldn't be surprised if negative sentiment towards people afab identifying as genderqueer heavily contributed to that popularity considering how certain people have talked about us. But I'd still like to find that information for myself if you have any direction towards it.

SOME TRANS MEN MIGHT ALSO IDENTIFY AS CIS WOMEN BUT THAT IS NOT THE MAJORITY OF TRANS MEN

AND MOST OF US ARE NOT TREATED AS CIS WOMEN JUST BECAUSE WE DONT PASS

A LOT OF US ARE INTERSEX AND HAVE HIRSUTISM OR ARE VERY VISIBLY TRANS OR GENDER NONCONFORMING AND WE GET TREATED LIKE SHIT FOR IT BY SOCIETY BECAUSE WE ARE QUEER AND OPPRESSED

STOP PRETENDING LIKE YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE OF TRANS MEN WHEN YOURE A TRANS WOMAN THAT DOESNT KNOW A GODDAMN THING ABOUT US OR OUR OPPRESSION

CALLING TRANS MEN "CIS WOMEN" IS SO DEEPLY TRANSPHOBIC ON ITS OWN JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
