#I know sometimes I say trans men vs transmascs and I know those terms are not interchangeable

[non-stick-pansexual]

If your trans activism ignores, excludes, infantilizes, or actively targets trans men and transmasculine folks, you need to re-evaluate your activism and your stance as a trans ally.

You do NOT get to ignore and exclude trans men just “because they are men”, that’s antithetical to trans activism and actively harms the community as a whole. As a trans community, and as a greater queer community, we need to do better.

there has to be some sort of better words instead of transmasc/transfem cuz everyone changes the definition every day

for transmasc at least

its 'afab people who are trans men in some type of way' one day and then its 'anyone transitioning to be more masculine' (what do you mean by this? to what extent do you mean this?) the next and then after saying that its 'transmascs arent women' (despite the previous definitions including women, whether those who are 'transitioning to be more masculine' or if you are multiple genders) and then its... and so on! it keeps changing every day

it feels like its becoming male/female/nonbinary now its transmasc/transfem new binary and its annoying as fuck, i kind of hate the word transmasc... just because like i said it feels like a new binary people are making

also doesnt help that, again like i said the way people are using transmasc to describe seems to change every second - but people are always stereotyping as a group term - and its like, i am not you, i dont want to be shoved under this label for the sake of a 'relatable' 'meme', i dont like it, overall also just seems to heighten the not-so-secret afab vs amab divide in the nonbinary community, regardless of how much u wanna deny it or being aknowledged of being afab theres still a lot of transphobia and transmisogyny from us against ppl who were amab that is like still a whole lot

(well, the last bit can also go into general cissexism assumptions...)

idk i just. well i dont want people to assume things about me or how i identify, basically??? i dont like it! im not a part of your new version of boxing people ....

im nonbinary and i use several other labels sometimes for more specific gender feels rarely. but i feel like this happens -> nonbinary and goes by a 'masculine' name, must be -> transmasc/? no, no, and dont assume things about me yadont know ok!
