Trans men are as bad as cis men when it comes to trying to insert themselves in women’s spaces and discussions

i mean as a trans guy a good chunk of us have gone years living as women, so I do believe we have a much better voice in discussions than cis guys. And even if you are referring to what #2 said, not all trans men can just immediately stop accessing women’s spaces. entering men’s spaces when you aren’t fully passing and/or transitioned can be scary and even unsafe

im a trans man and most of the time its the community putting me in a woman's space. lowkey i grew up as a woman for 20 years of my life, I'm pretty sure I know a thing or two about the experience.

as a cis woman i VERY much disagree. we cant expect trans men to immediately stop existing in afab spaces as soon as they transition- male spaces can be scary and can be even more terrifying when you arent fundamentally built the same as someone who is amab. i guess this really depends on what you consider womens spaces, because male bathrooms are terrifying if you dont fully pass. changing rooms are also terrifying if you dont fully pass or havent had full medical transitions.

I seriously want to know! Are we talking like. Bathrooms? Changing rooms? Online? Support groups? Clubs? Most of the time people who say “women’s spaces” mean bathrooms and are being anti trans woman. I want to know what you mean

maybe you should be more specific, so people can understand better what you mean with such a broad statement. or maybe you need to practice more empathy.
