#antagonizing us and choosing to smother our voices aids you in 0 capacity and makes life worse for all trans people.

i dont think non-transmasc allies realize that- it's actually their job to uplift our voices and make us more visible. it's actually their job to bring others awareness to us and to advocate for us. it's their job to use the platform they have to talk about us, accurately portray our struggles and/or bring trans guys into the discussion to talk about our problems. we can only do so much alone and if no one else is advocating for us, then people are less likely to listen and take us seriously.

y'know how white men hafta talk to other white men for them to actually listen about and understand the struggles of people of color? it's like that. people of your own demographic are more willing to listen to you than listen to the people you're advocating for, unfortunately, but that is the reality. you need to bring us on when you're having discussions about us or at least get your info from transmascs if you're going to talk about us w/o us there. I can shout at the top of my lungs about trans men everyday but at the end of the day it doesnt reach as much people. it's the responsibility of people with more visibility and a platform to boost our voices and message.

#transandrophobia #i dont feel like thats too much to ask. #and no- boosting the opinions of only trans guys you agree with isnt enough. diversity of perspectives is important. #also- if you keep antagonizing us- it's gonna make it harder for us to survive and sub sequentially all trans ppl to survive. #the longer trans men remain invisible- the more people will just target trans women. #antagonizing us and choosing to smother our voices aids you in 0 capacity and makes life worse for all trans people. #i shouldn't have to ask you to care enough about us to actually advocate for ALL of us.
