Masculinity seems to be seen as prized if you're amab and something to be tolerated if you're afab
#both equally as oppressive#when you reject masculinity as an amab person people see you almost as betraying everyone and even yourself#like as if you're taking yourself down off the pedestal and betraying All That We Know Is Right (status quo)#they are confused and frustrated with you for supposedly trading your 'privilege' away (as if you ever had any for being someone who#diverts from their assigned gender in any capacity ever)#they see it as if theyve given you this amazing reward for doing nothon- a participation trophy no one else gets- and when you#decide you dont actually want the trophy and never even really asked to come to this show then they turn around and act like you've#committed only the most Heinous of sins lol#they think you've rejected a gift that you've been granted out of 'luck' of being born 'correct'#and because they dont understand (and most of them dont try to) they get confused and angry. and almost seem think you just arent able#to actually appreciate your supposed 'manhood' and get resentful and maybe bridge to the point of 'if she doesnt see it as a gift#then she never deserved the gift anyways'#and thats when they start to dehumanize you and talk about hurting you. almost as revenge for rejecting societies 'gift'#something that to many trans women. trans fems. and nb amab ppl never even got to really see as a gift in the first place...#like its a gift if you're already a macho man. bit even then how much of a gift is this really restricting role#that doesnt even let you express your emotions. etc.#we really gotta knock down the idea that being a cis man is somehow more ideal or easy#its easy for cis men in power. not for your average cis man who has to live w the patriarchy and all it demands and never#put up a fuss.#anyways this shits so tiring and stupid and idk why cis people are so dedicated to controlling things to the point of exhaustion lol#kill the terf idea that people amab and raised as such somehow have it easier. especially when they have virtually no social#political or societal power.
