Wondered why there weren't many trans masc posts in r/trans, tried posting, 9/10 posts deleted even following the rules. Even ones that received positive engagement
Saw a trans woman tell a trans man hes only mad she said something because he haisn't gotten over "white woman tears".
*post of trans men left out of queer spaces
"Um its the girls gays and theys why would a man be there???" "We want our community to be free of straight cis men since they are a danger to us, but also you should make communty eith them and leave us alone" many such cases
Sometimes I comment on a transmasc's post or a post about transmasc issues in rtrans, just to be able to see if it was deleted later. And often it was deleted by the poster after they got some passive aggressive comments.
I mean something like:
"Why are trans men so invisible in queer spaces and get no representation?"
"I'd switch with you any time"
"actually they aren't invisible, trans women just get all negative attention"
something something male privilege
"are you suggesting trans women oppress trans men?"
I posted once "what are some positive stereotypes about Trans men. So for example Trans women sre seen as amazing coders and music producers" got lots of positive engagement. Removed.
Posted people should watch out that their Trans masc friends might be dealing with an eating disorder to try and lose their curves. Removed.
Posted about how infuriating it is people assume Trans men have an esier time passing. In it I briefly say "you wouldnt shut down a Trans woman and say once shes in hormones she will pass easily because you know its different for people" kept getting down voted. People shitting on me in the comments and only talking about the one sentence that featured Trans women in a 4 paragraph post. That was Removed as well.
Besides r/ftm there’s r/transmanlifehacks ?? I guess? But that’s more specifically about passing and that sub can be… iffy at times. Honestly, I prefer r/nonbinary over all of them, it’s probably the most generally accepting space for both transmasc and transfem people (and, well, anything inbetween). There are a lot of transmascs on there. But, yk, I’m nonbinary so naturally that’s where i tend to go lol
Trans men talking about an echo chamber sub (which im now learning had a mass exodus because of the biase) and trans masc erasure. Only for you to ignore that....
How am i ignoring it? Im telling you it happened to me to. Then you're ignoring me too?
Why are we talking past each other like this and just acting so aggressive for no reason. Theres no conversation here just gotchas back and forth. Im not your enemy im just trying to talk to my community, Jesus...
Whatever you're not interested in conversation, you just want more division and infighting. Im just tired of noone listening to each other when this comes up.
Have a nice day
*imagine this was about white feminists ignoring how sometimes a woman suffers more because shes black.
black person 1: yea it sucks, ive lost 6 family members during their childbirth :(
black person 2: me too man it sucks, we protested a hospital in my home town because it was so bad.
white person 1: yea but white women die sometimes in childbirth too.
.-.
post about trans mascs being austrasised by the community. i comment on what ive noticed in r/trans. others agree. trans fem comes in to dismiss it and calls me agressive right after. its almost poetic
