my friend who is training to be a 911 operator just told me that they are having to restrain themself whenever responding to training calls from saying “that’s illegal people can’t do that” and I find that so fucking funny

theres some relation between trans women who hate trans men and misogyny. you have to see how describing all trans men as sensitive and irrational and manipulative is directly caused by being a misogynist. transitioning did not cure you of being a misogynist and it's still misogyny if it's directed at trans men because it is based in misogynistic beliefs that you aren't addressing.
To transmascs + trans men: You weren’t born to be a shield. Denying your vulnerability doesn’t make others more protected and the folks who try to convince you that it does are misguided + wrong. Minimizing your pain isn’t activism. Fighting for yourself is NOT incompatible w fighting for others.
I’m sorry so many of you have been convinced that your expressions of pain are distractions from real issues. That your pain exists in a category that is by default lighter for you to carry. I know it’s fucking heavy, even if you won’t admit it. Your pain is not a threat to anyone.
