I feel like the "trans men are privileged over trans women" discourse is such a Tumblr-specific phenomenon (and I guess Twitter and TikTok but I don't use them lol). I used to be a moderator of a very large trans subreddit (RIP 3rd party apps) and, if you've used Reddit, you probably know the Reddit trans community skews really heavily transfem.
And the Reddit discourse used to be, for the most part, "stop speaking over trans men/mascs, please make room for trans men/mascs in the community, please remember that trans men/mascs are underrepresented and deserve love too" etc. None of this shit about calling trans men MRAs for talking about issues that affected them! Like people who would say shit like that were mostly downvoted into oblivion and the mod team (not just me but the transfem mods too) would actively remove comments to that effect. It was great!
Most transfem users didn't have this weird persecution complex where they believed they were the most oppressed queer identity of all time either, not a lot of people were really seriously claiming that trans men had any kind of meaningful institutional power over trans women except maybe your occasional stale-ass passing privilege thread (which plenty of transfems in the comments usually shot down because passing discourse is mostly very stupid and people knew it).
It's so obvious Tumblr is so shitty about this because of the deeply entrenched radfem culture on this site tbh. I hate it here. Trans Reddit used to do mass-report campaigns against r/GenderCritical and their ilk and it fucking worked! They got site admins to fucking ban TERF subreddits!! For all its copious flaws, I really miss how the Reddit trans community knew exactly who the enemy was and that it wasn't each other.
Yeah, Tumblr has always skewed towards the most overly dramatic expressions of praxis, as shown by the hysteria equating a few brigading-induced bans to Tumblr staff perpetuating a genocide. Reddit was much more a space for adults to have adult conversations and not just descend into constant finger-pointing.
