It's so frustrating to me when people portray saying "hey making statements about trans men being as oppressive as cis men is heavily erasing a lot of differences in privilege and experience" to be equivalent to saying "trans men are men-lite"

Seeing that things are more complicated than a simple oppressor/oppressed dichotomy when it comes to trans people and gender is transphobia evidently

@AzureHusky it's so fucked, like

'trans men are men' and 'trans men are subjected to (misdirected) misogyny as a result of not being seen as *real* men by others' aren't mutually exclusive statements, y'all

@Thaminga yuppp and "being the recipient of so much misogyny may give a fair number of trans men a very different relationship to patriarchal masculinity"
