WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND

I feel like there’s a common misconception that transmasc experiences and transfem experiences must be exact mirror images of one another—where people mistakenly think this is a fact And that it’s universal consensus amongst trans folks. which in turn leads to an uncritical presumption that when a trans man says something about experiencing misogyny, we must be coming from a place of trying to subtly undermine what trans women have to say about the trauma of their own upbringings
