“Men and masculinity. Trans men and mascs” do you think a butch lesbian who sees how some of yall call butches ugly and manly is an agent of the patriarchy. When you make fun of trans men for having patchy facial hair and say they’re not oppressed because they’re men, overlooking the fact that transness is looked down on so much they have nowhere near the amount of privilege as a cisgender man
Your comment makes it super clear that you either: don’t pay attention to this issue in irl spaces, are exceedingly lucky to be in spaces that somehow accept masculine people who have never experienced this or never bring it up, or aren't in any in-person spaces with masculine people in them at all
The options for trans men are to detransition or die, sometimes. Tbh the worst part for me is that I can't even publicly mention masc ppl's experiences in a way that isn't just immediately treated like an invasion, derailment, or excuse to misgender trans people. I can deal with the horrible things I've had to do to survive, but I sure wish I could bring them up to people and feel relatively confident that I'll be met with compassion or at least neutrality
Explain how I'm acting that way please! I'd love to learn. My goal is to accept & celebrate healthy masculinity and femininity in people across genders, while opposing unhealthy ideas around masculinity & femininity, with the overall goal of dismantling patriarchal and white-supremacist systems (among others) so everyone is safe. Oppression olympics goes against standard theories of intersectional feminism, so I don't engage with ideas around what singular class of people is "most oppressed"
