it's kind of wild that jessie gender used the word transandrophobia in a youtube video. i've never seen that happen before. people gotchaing you know who for blatantly misgendering rebecca sugar and nate stevenson was the most callout of actual transmasc or afab transneutral erasure i've seen from the video essay space in memory, and even that was mostly just to pad out the callout post

#it's nice to hear literally one transfeminine person self-reflect on the way people talk over trans men in the youtube literati sphere #but. to be fair. a LOT of people called the lack of visible trans men out during hbomb's mermaids charity stream years back #there was a lot of scrambling to find transmasc guests towards the end. like.. irrc just tweeting out for guests #and then idk i don't think it moved the needle at all after that #(but also i stopped watching cpoints during the middle of her 'being cancelled for nonbinary erasure' era so idk if she changed)#other than that... in the mask off vid in l.e.'s final yt days she apologized for saying trans men have it easier than trans women #citing (as everyone seems to) elliot page finally showing the world that trans men are treated like dogshit #which uh. hm. i get that saying that doesn't call anyone of lesser visibility out #but frankly i'm shocked that she spent so much time in HER fandoms seemingly without ever encountering trans men lmao #(that's a joak. i remember it was way less visible a decade ago. fandom spaces were very girls club back then)#i'm rambling now lol #it's... a little wild that the misgendering was assigned to misogyny alone if i'm being honest. it was literally in the misogyny section #and it was about classing them as women to say that they were ALLOWED to show 'nonthreatening' wlw stories
