if you claim to support trans men talking about our experiences but the only posts on your blog are critical of us, i think you need to reexamine if you’re actually supporting us

I think a lot of the transandrophobia discourse stems from the idea that transfems and transmascs are parallel and inverse. If a transfem experiences one thing, then transmascs must experience the same thing but opposite. In reality, there are gonna be challenges that transfems face that have no transmasc equivalent, challenges that transmascs face that have no transfem equivalent, and challenges that both face in similar or only slightly different ways. That's not even accounting for nonbinary and intersex people who have a whole host of their or challenges outside of this rigid framework we've recreated.

Trans guys:
Do not prostrate yourself in front of people in order to gain their favour. You deserve love, respect, decency, and to be treated like anyone else. This should come by default.
You should never, ever, be made to feel like you need to kiss someone's boots, be made to feel small, or forced to take up less space in order to be given a shred of kindness.
If someone doesn't treat you right from the start, they're not good for you. They're not worth your time. They're not an ally.
Do not feel like you need to suppress or repress parts of yourself, your feelings, or your emotions in order to "not be a burden" or to keep them in your life
A person who is right and good for you will treat you with kindness, love and decency from the moment you meet. Anyone else who falls short of this should be shown the door.
