Any other ftms tired of being called a “baby trans” bc they’re either not on hrt or early on it? Like I’ve known I’m trans for years, been a trans man for years and been out for a few. I’m not a baby - I hate to break it to ya but I’m just broke.

MTF but i find it so interesting (for lack of a better word) that in all my experience being around other trans folk the only ppl ive ever heard referred to as “baby trans” are FTM ppl. and it doesnt even matter if they are pre or on HRT, how long theyve known or expressed themselves, anything like that. it speaks to the infantilization or dismissal of yalls identity to keep treating you like a helpless woman or something. very strange tho

My coworkers used to do that when I was pre T and I fucking hated it dude. The infantilization was crazy
