#it's infantilizm

[kasumingo]

"But this thing isn't for me and I want everything to be for me :((((" is literally toddler talk and yet here we are, on the internet, watching people with 21+ in their profile talk like that unironically

Also "all cis men are evil" is a method of backhanded infantilizm for trans men. It treats trans masc folk as being less than "real men" since we are "incapable of being threats". We are men. We have the same societal issues that men do. The trans man to toxic masculinity pipeline is real. If you hold one opinion of cis people and another for trans people, then that's biased and often bigoted, even if you don't realize it. A backhanded compliment is nothing but an insult with icing.

"all men are evil" is radfem/terf rhetoric, but clarifying "all cis men" because you want to signal that you're not transphobic doesn't work because it's still deeply rooted in radfem beliefs. It's saying you believe there's something inherently evil in being born/assigned "male", and you carry it over in how you treat ppl who transition in or out of that gender. "All cis men are evil", is gender essentialist and you can't get around that.

Fucking tired of ppl who think their terf soundbites with a fresh coat of paint are sooo progressive

BIO: 

Growing up with exceedingly high expectations was always difficult for Mike and his siblings. Their father expected so much - straight A’s, perfect scores, college scholarships. All of this on top of living their marks to the best possible ability. Mike hated that he had to hide his passion. He wanted to show it off - find out just how good he really was and what he could really do with it. But just dancing in his room alone made that increasingly more difficult the more he learned and the more he fell in love with it. Now that he had graduated High School, he was hoping he could expand his dancing abilities and find out what he could truly do. Now his only hope was that his father did not shun him for it.

BIO QUESTIONS:

What is your biggest fear and why?

My biggest fear is going for my dream and failing. More than just losing my dream, it would prove my dad right. It would show that dancing is nothing but a stupid hobby, not a career.

What 3 objects/places mean the most to you and why?

The Football Field - In high school, football was a good stress reliever. I love it almost as much as dance and my parents actually approved of it, for the most part. It was the one place I could do something I enjoyed and not be looked down for it.

The Dance Studio - It’s the one place where I can truly let go of my worries and just be myself.

My copy of Footloose - Watching that movie was the first time I felt like dancing wasn’t a stupid thing for a guy to love.

Who is the one person you’d most like to meet (dead or alive)?

Sammy Davis Jr. He was a dance icon!

What is the one moment you would describe as your happiest/most excited?

My first dance lesson. I was able to talk my mom into letting me take them by convincing her that the arts lit up parts of the brain that improved academic performance. It wasn’t like I was lying, that’s a proven fact! But, that got her to sign me up. I remember being so excited, I thought I was going to throw up. By the end of the session my teacher was calling me ‘naturally gifted’ and I’ve been practicing every day since.
