and just to tag this on bc someone always misinterprets what i'm saying: trans fems/trans women CERTAINLY do not have it "better." they're not "safe(r)." don't use this as a gotcha bc if you're implying that, i don't agree with you.

it's just saying "this is a thing, can we talk abt it."

life isn't some equation where "if x then y" automatically applies. if you can't grasp that one form of oppression existing doesn't imply the opposite for another group, you're not well informed enough to discuss this. stop making up boxes to tick before you respect ppl's experiences.

when i came out, i was treated "like a boy" for the first time by my parents. one of them threatened my life bc boys should be strong enough to fight back.

tell me my gender didn't play a role in that.

tell me what happened to Brandon Teena.

"transandrophobia doesn't exist"

alright tell me why so many of my fellow trans dudes of color hesitate to transition for fear of being killed by cops bc masc poc - esp Black men - are treated as scary criminals.

what role does gender play here and why isn't it enough to categorize and name?
