I know it’s affecting places like america, britain, and europe but I’m not sure of all the places that are affected by the ideology. as an autistic trans man I’m the delusional little girl these people have made up as a pawn to ban hrt, which has already helped pass laws. There’s a whole movement about how “trans influencers are tricking young autistic girls into thinking they’re boys”, mostly targeting trans men as the ones doing the 'tricking’. Genuine question what do you mean by your “body is being used to criminalize all hrt?” i dont know what you’re referring to. i could write an essay on the subject of how gender conformity is a privileged position in trans people. historically the social expectation for us to be gender conforming was so high that we have been expected by medical professionals to perform gender conformity to even have access to HRT. I think all trans people are punished for their presentation no matter what it is, a damned if you do damned if you don’t situationĪll trans people are oppressed, yes, regardless of gender presentation. I’m not rewarded for being a masculine trans man when my body is used to criminalize all HRT. this has been true through the whole course of the existence of trans people in the western world. meaning that masculine trans men and feminine trans women are privileged over feminine trans men and masculine trans women. I’m going to phrase this in a very blunt way.Īmong binary trans people, both men and women, gender conformity is privileged. You’re pretending as if masculinity in men isn’t preferred lmao They wouldn’t want you as a trans man to present femininely. it can be! but there are so many situations where it’s not that treating them like an outlier is an injustice I just don’t think it’s useful to say “masculinity is always rewarded” when it’s not. masculinity also intersects in a really unique way with blackness, which is a good time to mention I forgot the word antimasculism exists, because black people are masculinized no matter what their gender or presentation to justify antagonizing or harassing them or people from other cultures expressing their masculinity in ways that aren’t white, if we’re talking about western politics. Lol they don’t prefer me, a trans man, being a masculine man. They ALWAYS will prefer you to be a masculine man over anything else. That’s because masculinity is the presumed default for men of all kinds so clearly “misandry” or whatever antifeminist nonsense you’re spewing doesn’t exist. Masculinity offers you safety, even if its a masculinity that’s maligned. Even when certain masculinities are punished, that punishment would be more intense if they didn’t present as masculine. What’s your point? That masculinity is not rewarded in this society? That would be ridiculous. Yeah and if that same man decided to present feminine people would also think they’re a freak. a disabled man can be seen as scary because he’s talking to himself, and his masculinity can amplify this percieved danger It creates a unique intersection where their masculinity is part of the hatred against them. It’s always another reason like race, sexuality, disability, transness, etc. That doesn’t mean men as a social class are denigrated for being men. like obviously there’s nuance to this but it feels like people have this very Top Of The Western Privilege Pyramid idea of ‘Man’ when they use the word but that only encapsulates a small small portion of the group they’re actually talking about men as the Default Man and anything other than that as a deviation from the norm. “misandry doesn’t exist in any form” is a viewpoint that gets harder to defend when you stop seeing cis straight perisex white ect.
