#'i prefer men to women'

[isekyaaa]

I do wonder why mxm ships are more popular than fxf ships, and what I think it boils down to is that specifically afab people tend to prefer men over women to the point of getting addicted to fetishizing them.

this post was made in derision to the suggestion of male characters being inherently more complex simply by virtue of being male. it was made in frustration to the suggestion of female characters being inherently less complex simply by virtue of being female.

it was not an invitation to discredit, dissect or detract from m/m works, nor suggest the dominating percentage of it in fandom culture was solely a result of misogyny. it was not an attempt to shame creators, more of whom are women, for their sexuality i.e. exclusive attraction to men (which would be hypocritical of me) or for not creating works centered around f/f.

"oh please everyone has gay thoughts sometimes" so what i'm hearing is that heteronormativity is so ingrained that a significant percentage of the population regularly experiences bisexual attraction? but dismisses it as something that all straight people experience? this is so concerning are you guys okay

Gentlemen Prefer Nature Girls (Doris Wishman, 1963)

[brown-spider]

Noir is the type to poetically monologue about a man from his youth that "had he been a dame, we would have been lovers" with such dramatic intensity you'd think he was talking about the love of his life

But then if someone asked Noir anything suggesting that he's attracted to men, he'd dismiss it like "Now don't get me wrong, that crowd is fine by me, but I'm not a homosexual. I like dames too much, haha."

And it drives the modern spider kids fucking CRAZY. They want to shake him and scream "BISEXUAL!!!" so bad but oh god he's wearing headphones, he can't hear them, oh my god 😨

male socialization is wild to me because when men deviate it by generally being nice to women and then get womens attention by being friendly and normal to us other men get mad and punish them for it bc they're actually meant to be domineering, rude, and misogynistic to us and if a man doesn't do that they're either gay or trying to unassumingly get with one of the women. like it blows mens minds that they can actually try and be normal and nice to women for no sexual gain, and then they punish men for deviating from it. they're like we see you're getting female attention without abusing the women?? thats wrong and also we hate u for it. like jesus men are so fucked up as a whole.

it's been pointed out on here before that a lot of terf arguments are actually rooted in sexist idealology that feminists fought and died to unnormalise decades ago and that's its own kettle of fish but one thing i also find very frustrating about this so called 'radical' feminism is that it's so... defeatist? like the moment you categorically label an entire section of society as Bad and Inherently Evil then there's also the implication that nothing can be done about it, and it completely takes all accountability away. saying all men are evil is just another way of saying boys will be boys. he raped her because he's a man. he hit her because he's a man. he didn't listen because he's a man - it's almost offensively oversimplified. there's no point trying to fix this issue in society because men are just Like That, okay! so now what? it's not like they're going anywhere, so you just accept that 50% of the population are evil and will forever treat you terribly and there's nothing to be done about it bc they're biologically predisposed to it? like is that fr the argument here? you're soooo radical for that

If y'all don't believe that transmascs experience misogyny let me tell you something that happened recently.

There was a post that was essentially making fun of "pick me gays", where they were saying that "I don't watch rupal's drag race, I don't like being called "gurl" and I don't do *insert stereotypical gay activity"". And in that post I commented that some people don't like being called "gurl" or "girl" because it makes them dysphoric and you shouldn't label them a "pick me" because of it. The responses I got for that comment were SO hostile for the sake of my mental health I had to delete the comment. Some people even tried to PURPOSELY trigger my dysphoria.

In that same post a cis man said that he prefers men who are masculine and he shouldn't be shamed for his preferences, and EVERYONE agreed with that.

If you don't see the hypocrisy IDK what to tell you.

I think part of the reason why there's this stereotype that trans men* aren't feminists is because so many feminist spaces either treat our needs as lesser or that because we (often, not always) transition away from womanhood to any capacity, that means we've given up every impulse to the "sisterhood" and must fend for ourselves.

I've seen so many people assume that we're just... not in feminist spaces because we're misogynistic, but in reality, so many of us just do not feel welcome as trans men* and it really is hard to be in spaces that implicitly or explicitly say that your issues are second to everything else.

I just find it interesting how people imagine trans men* to be, because in my experience, we tend to be majority feminist or rooting for gender equality and equity. The stereotype that trans men* aren't feminists and are instead misogynistic for whatever reason is, most often than not, false. I bring this up because I want these spaces to be welcoming to as many people as possible, for trans women, for trans men, for queer women, because we have shared interests and we have points of solidarity.

gender and sexuality is weird because I'll say I'm queer , gnc/masc transsexual and that is my identity but if someone insists on a deeper level of identity (this has happened and will continue to happen) I'll say I'm an aroace bisexual and bigender. but then that brings on more questions like 'how can you be aroace if you have a partner? doesn't that mean your not bisexual?? how can you be bigender and only use he/him and neopronouns?'

its just weird to think that I have to have a deeper set of labels for people who think 'gueer trans guy' isn't enough for them, and then question my labels.
