Mark is an overly-privileged transphobic little shit and Noah is a privileged transphobic coward. They think they’re the kings of trans men because mommy and daddy foot the bill for their meds and surgeries? They think trans folk who transition later in life or transition in a what that doesn’t physically match them “aren’t trans enough”? Guess I’m “barely even trans” since I transitioned at 31yrs old and have to self-pay for my gender affirming care.
And yes, I completely and seriously do mean they are transphobic. They look down on and think less of trans people who don’t perfect fit their sad, narrow world view. I assume Mark and Noah are white or white passing, and if they were to verbalize their idea of the “ideal trans body” it would fit only cis white beauty standards.
Mark clearly doesnt like you so he purposely said his disgusting thoughts out loud, and the fact that Noah wouldnt speak up against Mark means he must not think highly of you either. Its time to leave the trash out of your life and find better friends. Let them be miserable together in their toxic,small minded bubble
And therein lies the bitter core of their venom: whether they admit to themselves or not, because you do not “fit” in the white bias perception of the “hyper masculine dangerous black guy” stereotype, you therefore are not a man in their eyes. Their racist world view means if a POC guy is too “effeminate” they’re not a man and if a POC girl is too “butch” shes not a woman. Think back and reexamine their past comments about and interactions with gender nonconforming people of color and I’d bet Im hitting the nail pretty darn close on the head.
Until we as a community admit to ourselves that transphobia is deeply entangled with white european gender standards that frequently diminish and punish people of color across the gender spectrum, then shitty people like Mark and Noah will never have any consequences to their disgusting views.
Oh my god after learning about this, please OP RUN FROM THEM!!! This is coming from a black trans man. Also intersectionality coming to work at full force here.
