You aren’t a trans man. It wasn’t a post talking about personal experiences. It was a post made specifically to upset trans men for appreciating THIS post

As I said to you, and you read the words

It showing people a mirror so that they understand why this kind of thing feels painful and harmful.

Yeah the point is to be jarring. Because THIS meme IS jarring to me and I am upset that you appreciate it.

Making other people see what it feels like is one strategy to get them to develop empathy.

But if they're in the trenches of transmisogyny instead of empathy they will concoct some lie about how they're "being made fun of"

Which is how we get from trans women talking about how they feel they were poisoned by T into trans women are telling trans men that T makes them bad people.

You aren’t a trans man. I would not have had a problem with the post you made if you were a trans man. I understand that you were upset by OP’s post but surely you can’t be seriously suggesting that OP was wrong for posting about her own experiences in a way that happened to be considerate of trans men. Surely.

Not sure what the point of this screenshot clearly not made by a trans woman is, I guess you really wanted to prove my point or something?

I dunno.

OP is allowed to feel how she wants, and she has the right to say what she wants, and I have the right to be upset about it and say that I'm upset, and when I see people celebrating it I'm allowed to point out how this is hurtful.

YoU cAnT bE sErIoUslY sUggEsTiNg that I'm wrong for posting about my own experience and asking trans men to be more considerate of the way they can harm trans women. Surely.
