If you are a person who hates men because they are men not only are you inherently alienating anyone queer person who identifies as a man but you are failing to hold the actual horrible men accountable for their actions.
Being a creep, a predator, a pervert, etc. is not inherent to being a man and thinking/saying that removes any sense of responsibility from the actual disgusting men who exist.
Call out the individuals so they can face the consequences of their actions, don’t just shrug it off as “well that’s how men are because they’re all terrible”. “
All men are evil” is just a round about way of saying “boys will be boys” and although both statements have different intentions they remove all accountability from those who deserve it.
And do not ever expect any trans man to change themself because you associate masculinity and manliness with being a predator. Love your trans brothers and embrace them as men or you don’t have the right to call yourself queer.
I know a lot of tumblr isn’t on tiktok, so to anyone who wants to say anything negative about Dylan Mulvaney please know that this is the person you’re putting down.
I want to have more representation of trans men that don't bind, and are happy with that. I want to have more representation of trans men who dress fem, and are happy with that. I want more representation of trans men who aren't on testosterone, and are happy with that. I want more representation of trans men who decide to become pregnant, and are happy with that.
I want more representation of trans men who aren't trans "the right way", so we can teach people that there is no such thing as the "right way to be trans".
As a trans man who used to be a lesbian, I still have a lot in common with lesbians and the lesbian community. I listen to and relate to a lot of lesbian music even though I’m a gay trans man. I understand trans men who still have that connection to the lesbian community.
Trying to police trans men and transmasc people is not what we should be doing. Telling someone what they can and cannot be/call themselves is literally the exact same shit that transphobes do to us. Don’t be like them. Let people be.
I don't know what trans man need to hear this but you're allowed to be angry. It doesn't make you evil. You are allowed to experience all possible emotions without apology and still be a good man.
*this is about trans men specifically, do not derail. You are free to make your own post*
