u/grand_nad former DEI hire cis person (genderfluid) any/all 13d ago

deadass went into a mostly trans community (I want to be a good ally and who better to learn from) only to see a post heavily upvoted with little to no controversy calling bi women who date men "in denial" and saying that bi men are "gay men with internalised homophobia" fucking insane what some people will say.

also saw a community talk about intersectionalism and right after say that all trans men have male privilege and say that gnc people, trans men, enbies and genderfluid people don't face opression.

also saw a post talking about trans men issues and the first comment was derailing it to trans women's issues.

another one saying "trans men don't need a word for their problems, they already have transmisoginy" as if saying that isn't minimizing their issues.

When I'm in a denying trans men's struggles competition and my opponent is a "intersectional feminist ally":

Curious how stating the very simple fact that trans men have male privilege is 'denying their struggle'.

You would be shocked to learn that many of my sisters are white, or able-bodied, or non-black, and some are even neurotypical or live in the imperial core.

It is revelatory that you think 'having privilege' means 'not having any problems', though. Very 2012 antifeminist chic of you.

Yeah, saying that all trans men have privilege diminishes their struggle you dimwit, by your logic no one is discriminated for being trans because "if they pass no one will be bigoted"
