#and you should be uplifting Transmascs as much as you uploft transfems

[butch-bakugo]

If you are not Transmasc and identify as a "anti-transandrophobia truther" or otherwise don't think trans men face oppression or are even neutral on the topic. If you ignore transmysogny and think trans women all have a chance of committing crimes. If you lean really hard into the differences between transfems and Transmascs to such a degree you're starting to ironically (maybe even unironically) identify as a transandrophobe or transmysogynist then I have a request of you. Its really simple.

I ask that you go to your blog's search function and search, specifically, "transfem"/"trans woman" and "Transmasc"/"trans man". Or even more specifically "afab"/"cafab" and "amab"/"camab" or "TME"/"TMA" and I want you to grab a scrap of paper.

On that paper you gonna make two sections, one labeled transfem and one labeled Transmasc. Then under each, your gonna write, with alittle room in-between, a positive subsection and a negative subsection.

Then I want you to go down your blog and tally Every time a post that you agree with says something positive about one of those groups or says something negative about those groups.

I mean everything, if it's nessesary criticism or calling out a communal problem, you still mark it negative. If it's blind acceptance or acknowledging positive historical facts, you still mark it positive. Every instance you or someone you agreed with and reblogged said something positive or negative about either groups. If you've been here awhile, this might take awhile but I need you to do it.

If you notice, and your honest with your tallies, that you always talk shit about one of those groups or only ever praise the other, I need you to acknowledge that you have a bias and make those numbers fucking even.

I need you to look at that raw data of yourself and fix it. I need you to take a moment and say " wow, I really do only criticize X." And " wow, I only ever uplift Positivity about X". Look at your own raw data and fix it because wether or not you think you have a bias, you do. Wether or not you'd call yourself a transmysognist or a transandrophobe, you may be one subconsciously.

Regardless of your feelings about either, your numbers should be even because if they arnt, you are the divide in the trans community. You are the one ripping it apart. You are the one trying to pick and choose who should be Included and uplifted and who should be thrown to the transphobes. You should be uplifting Transmascs just as much as you uplift transfems. You should be acknowledging transmysogny just as much as you acknowledge run of the mill transphobia. You should be acknowledging all of our own, not separating them to make yourself feel better about being one or the other and justify your assumptions about one or the other.

You are justified in calling out issues, including entire communities just as they are justified in doing the same towards yours. You should be talking about the amazing historical significance of both. You should be acknowledging the good and the bad.

You may not be transphobic for having that fundamental imbalance, but you will be a transphobe if you see and choose not to do a damn thing about it. Sure, only a mild-stalker would be able to confirm your numbers but you will know them and you will feel guilty over it and you should be ashamed that should you find you praise one group more than the other and constantly criticize one group while ignoring the other's active problems, you choose to not right your path. You choose to ignore that problem. You are not trans-positive, you are transphobic, just with one or two exceptions.

Check yourself because you shouldnt have to knowingly make victims before you knowingly make allies.
