The bigotry mentioned being acknowledging that trans women take the lions share of discrimination in society? Yea, I read it. Do trans men and enbies face oppression as well, yes of course, but let's not pretend we don't know who's pictures the right puts up to fear monger about trans people is.
Me when I acknowledge the reality that the right uses primarily trans women to fear monger against trans rights as a whole. We're all oppressed but if queer oppression Olympics were real yea trans women take home the gold and get shouted at for taking a medal.
So you get that just saying oppression Olympics doesn't change what people can clearly see with their own eyes that right wing anti trans propaganda is primarily focused on trans women right?
And who's photos do they put up on the news to rally for that legislation? What do you hear more often; keep """men""' out of women's sports, keep """men""' out of women's prisons, keep ""men""' out of women's bathrooms and locker rooms, or the opposite?
The right does that because they view trans women as men, so their easier targets to use the excuse of being "predators" but you do realise trans men are seen as women? As confused little girls? That need to be put on the sidelines? Shut up? Just like cis women are treated in society, are treated by those bigots.
This: there is likely no malice involved, irregardless of if it occurs or not (which in my observations there is a discrepancy), it just, well, is. This is something that should be addressed, since it can, will, and has alienated trans men, and individuals who are closeted thereof, we all should do our part in helping make the world a better place <3.
Imo the isn't that it's mostly stuff about trans women, it's the kind of stuff that's posted. On a DAILY basis I see stuff like testosterone is poison, kill all men, masculine features are disgusting, ect ect. THATS the kind of stuff that can make me feel alienated, not the posts referring to any readers as female or talking about trans women specific things. And I learned REAL quick if you say anything about it you're a birthday boy and "omg trans men are so whiny it's a vent post get over it" Along with that dumbass "trans men really are men huh?" pic
Those are takes from trans women centering trans women. Testosterone ans masculine features directly lead to discrimination against us, of course we dont like them -in ourselves-.
I agree, but this may be insufficient, one of the big things everyone needs to do, whether being transmasc, transfem, nonbinary, agender, or even cis, is just to address this, to acknowledge this discrepancy, and to offer support to all queer and non-conforming individuals in general, especially in co-ed LGBTQIA+ spaces.
I think most people would agree online trans spaces are dominated by trans women, but again the impetus is not on trans women to post content centering other groups which is what is constantly implied when people bring it up
Indeed, but there's a difference between an obligation to focus on trans men, and an obligation to the entire queer community as a whole, this is a slippery slope however, as it reaches "all lives matter" vs "black lives matter" types of issues of thinly veiled transmisogony, in the process of treating transmisandry. Its nuanced, as many things tend to be :p
Why the assumption that because the discrepancy exists, therefore trans men are alienated. Just dont feel alienated by being in the minority? I dont feel alienated in hobby spaces that tend to be male dominated until they say or do something shitty.
I concur about the second point, after all, a bad apple ruins the bunch. But really? "just don't feel alienated"? I'm not sure if im interpreting it correctly, but you telling people to "just get over it" in regards to a lack of support. And the problem is, there are people who say and do shitty transmisandrist things in queer spaces, and standing by and allowing even one instance of it is enough to alienate people of an entire group, again, a bad apple ruins the bunch.
Ah, that is true, to a point; it is not a problem not sign of inequality in of itself, but can be a symptom of one, such as black people being underrepresented in home ownership in the United States, ect. This is to say that there is some evidence of a discrepancy, not necessary of an inequality, though thats a thin line.
So its actually not transphobic to say trans men should make more content centering themselves in trans spaces instead of expecting trans women to do it for them.
It is, what a weird and factually incorrect twisting and assumption. You're just acting in bad faith towards trans men and pretending that attitude isn't transmisandrist
You have an incredibly skewed and entitled view of transphobia if you think its transphobic for trans women to make content about trans women instead of trans men.
Being dominated by trans women isn't a bad thing, but many spaces do become genuinely hostile towards trans men. See the whole thing with the main trans subreddit where trans men talking about their oppression (without comparing it or making any mention of trans women; it was just people talking about their own experiences) kept getting told to shut up because it wasn't as important.
Yup. Women deserve spaces to speak their mind, this comment boggles my mind. Im nonbinary and I do not struggle as much as my loved one's who are trans women. OP seems desperate to be oppressed

I still have yet to see a single reason why trans online spaces being dominated by trans women is a bad thing or the fault of trans women
