I feel like a lot of people downplay transphobia and hate trans men get as a way of malgendering them. It’s transphobic but they like to pretend like it’s not

“Some guy said he’d beat me up” “well that’s how men act, you want to be a man right?” As if we’re opting into manhood and thus it’s okay for us to be harassed and threatened because “you wanted to be a man”

That argument is used against women wanting equal rights also and it’s always, just, so upsetting??? In any context, you’re saying “well I commit violent crimes and if you want rights then you have to let me commit violent crimes against you so THERE”

(Not at all trying to downplay the argument against trans men, I’ve just gotten it both pre-transition and post-transition and it’s always been fucking bewildering)

I wonder why the argument they use against women is also commonly used against trans men both by cis men and cis women….
