like i remember seeing a post where op was like 'consider why trans men who are denied masculinity regularly would be upset about not being able to use words like misandry or language that centers masculinity' and as a certified trans masc who stabs themself in the stomach once a week with a needle my message to you if you feel this way is: you will never find satisfaction chasing after or emulating (white) cishetero patriarchal masculinity and this includes using the language they invented to victimize themselves. this is also not how praxis works and if you want to actually make connections with the broader trans community you need to learn to separate hurt feelings and actual theory. i do not have a nicer way to say this because i'm honestly sick to death of seeing other trans mascs fall into the same self victimization cycle as cis men where they lash out at women instead of targeting the problem, which is white cishetero patriarchy
