OKAY. Time to address this. So I made a statement, albeit without direct context. As I was trying to go grocery shopping I was qrt'd by a big account, and you know how that goes for smaller accounts, usually ends in harassment and is usually a malicious tactic imo.

So because my notifs were blowing up over this and I was trying to shop I had no room and no time to actually properly talk about what I meant and give any context and because I had to quickly come up with a response while I was juggling with so many things I needed to process-

a lot of my words got horribly twisted with things I never said nor implied. Strawmanning iirc. I'm autistic, I have major trouble trying to convey my words in ways that make sense and often it goes completely misinterpreted, it feels ableist to say if I cant come up with a-

better argument then all my points are wrong but I literally could not process anything going on, it was overstimulating, I was sent into an anxiety attack and I was busy, I couldn't express myself because theres so much happening.

So what I said was that theres a portion of the trans community that seems to have a thing against trans men and trans masc folks, and that it didnt seem fair. This statement was made with unspoken context, my bad on my part, but I was referencing to things I saw earlier-

illustrating almost exactly what I meant by the fact that the hatred was unfair. Taking away all of a groups trans identity, under any circumstance, is not a critique, its an attack and it hurts people.

Theres a big portion of people who say things like this, or that trans men or transmasc people are bad because they are terfs or truscum. This isnt adressing the actual issues, its adressing an entire group of people for the actions of some, its othering.

No where in this statement did I imply that: 1. Trans women and transfems are at fault for this, nor did I say 2. You cant critique trans men or transmasc people for their shitty actions.

Thats just some of what got twisted and pulled out of nowhere and are the exact opposite-

of what I believe. Yes, PLEASE critique trans men and transmasc folks when they do shitty things, but dont group the entirety in with hateful statements that other the ones who arent being shitty.

Another thing I had brought up later on was that trans men are often infantalized, this is like, a really big problem. It happens even inside the trans community, I have witnessed it and I have been targeted with it. An example would be when a trans man posts a selfie and gets-

called this such as 'a cute smol bean' etc, I have witnessed it first hand from other trans people and its incredibly common and it hurts a lot of trans men and transmasc people because it feels incredibly invalidating, like their identity isnt even being seen.

I will 100% admit that a the hypervisibility of trans women in media isnt good thing, in fact its often due to transphobia. It wasnt something that completely crossed my mind in making the statement about trans men being underrepresented, and I am sorry about that.

I am also incredibly sorry that my tweets came off the way that they did because I didn't want to cause any harm by them, i wanted to bring up an issue I noticed and was told about, and make trans men feel seen. I really didnt want to hurt anyone by them and I am sorry that I did

We can call out transmisogyny, truscum, and terf shit WITHOUT grouping in every single trans man or transmasc person, thats what I was getting at, and thats what I was refering to as unfair and harmful.

I still don't know if I was able to properly explain myself, please do ask questions if I didn't so I can understand what I didnt explain well enough and try my best to address it properly, its just really hard to do that when being bombarded with other tweets in other places-

its incredibly overstimulating and I am unable to remember things that were said.

TBH other people are way better equipped to explain this stuff.
in fact Max made a really good thread that talks about something similar in relation to the same stuff. https://twitter.com/chaoticgaythey/status/1266109045947207688?s=09
