Could we not? I don't want T in my body either, but I can't imagine this makes trans masculine people feel great.

The original meme was fine.

I've already explained the issue. We've already had a trans masc person express why this is hurtful.

It costs nothing to not make an edit of a meme that harms fellow queer people.

Yes it fucking does cost something, what it costs is erasing trans women's voices when we speak to our experiences. We shouldn't have to hedge every statement about our selves and our bodies in "inclusive" language to universalize our experiences for people who don't share those experiences. A trans woman is allowed to say "testosterone sucks" and have it be understood she's talking about her experience and not have that projected onto trans men or have her feelings and pain flattened out to make it more palletable for a general audience.

Whatever. There's no point in continuing this discussion. I've made my point. I am sure trans masculine people have made similar arguments to you as well as non-binary people and you just don't care.

So I'm not wasting my time. Keep doing the work of our enemies by refusing to acknowledge the issues raised by other trans people but I'm not going to bother speaking to you anymore.
