just need to share how much I dislike this post lol

people will fully expect trans men to put ourselves on the line for everyone else and meanwhile the only time they acknowledge our existence is to talk about how "low risk" we are (obviously untrue) or to volunteer us out as a community for potentially dangerous activist endeavors that they wouldn't risk doing themselves

"we need to get uncomfortable!" and what's actually being discussed is convincing a subset of the community to be uncomfortable on your behalf while you do nothing to show solidarity with us

#transandrophobia #also all it does is reinforce passing privilege #because the assumption here is trans men automatically pass so well that it's dumb to be transphobic against us #like what does this accomplish it's so insanely misguided #also the climate of reproductive rights in the US is a mess right now and telling guys who are potentially at risk in that area #to go rile up cis people for basically performance art #is a terrible idea #not even suggesting how you would go about this in a way that would keep the protestors safe #just being like GO DO IT BOYS LOL #and then being resentful when people point out how stupid this is #this person literally never even talks about transmasc issues btw #they've brought us up entirely Once and it was to imply we face no transphobia and should protest on their behalf #it frustrates me how disconnected the rest of the community are from our issues and they mostly ignore us then talk about us like this #if you're not capable of showing solidarity with us then just don't mention us honestly!#idc if you don't center us in your politics but leave us alone lol!#we're not your pawns or tools in activism we are a vulnerable community who faces much of the same problems as you
