anyway i'm always fascinated by the people who think that trans men transition purely to escape misogyny and gain social capital. idk how it is for other people, but since i transitioned i have not only experienced more misogyny than i ever did before but also lost access to the public spaces and support systems that might have helped me deal with it

#the people on here who claim that trans men have male privilege are also fascinating to me.#i experience the exact same marginalisation i experienced when presenting female #except it now comes with extra steps #i am not more likely to be hired or promoted; my opinion is not more likely to be respected #my rights and freedoms are even more restricted than they were before and i still get harassed on a regular basis #my body is still a topic of political debate and my voice is still silenced #i still feel obliged to control my appearance and clothing and body language in order to be treated with respect #and i can't even talk about it because i'm not a woman and therefore have no place in The Conversation #i don't regret transitioning but if you think that i'm getting any kind of privilege out of it you're mad
