Tbh it& #39;s super baffling to me how some trans mascs go out of their way to praise womenhood and how good and pure and amazing women are as a whole when some of the most vicious, unhappy, cruel people I have met in my life have been heterosexual cis women.
I don& #39;t see a point in praising womanhood as this amazing thing where everything is sugar and spice and everything nice. Maybe I wasn& #39;t pretty or neurotypical enough to experience this wonderful womanhood where everybody is supporting and loving

Don& #39;t get me wrong, men aren& #39;t amazing either. Nobody is amazing based on a vague concept like gender. People have to actively work to be good, kind, supportive, building people up. I have met people of all genders doing that, and people of all genders doing the opposite.
„Women are marginalized based on their gender and deserve more support and reparative measures“ and „women as a group perpetuate a lot of the same discriminations society perpetuates as a whole“ are two statements that don& #39;t contradict each other.
And as a whole: it shouldn& #39;t be required for me to „prove“ TERFs that I& #39;m not „alienated from womanhood“ to be a valid trans man. Me not relating to or feeling welcome in womanhood is not a problem, it& #39;s not an indicator that I just need to be welcomed back.
Some trans masc people have close relationships to women or womanhood. That& #39;s fine. It& #39;s not necessary though to be a valid trans man or even a non-toxic trans man.
I have always felt more closely related to men and non-binary people as friends, companions, ect. That never changed over the years. It& #39;s possibly the biggest constant in my relatively gender-fluid life. And that& #39;s fine. That& #39;s not a fact that needs fixing.
I have also never felt disgusted or repulsed by the fact that I& #39;m masculine or a man. I have felt ashamed for other men that showed bad behaviors, but I have always been able to separate that from myself. Just like I was able to see that not all women are shitty just bc some are.
It shouldn& #39;t be normalized to be repulsed or disgusted by the fact that one is a man. That& #39;s not a helpful or healthy feeling. I have been repulsed and disgusted by my body my whole life, trust me, it didn& #39;t do me any good. It just broke me.
And tbh I see this thread not doing numbers and only the least controversially worded tweets even getting likes and that& #39;s very interesting to me. What if my interest wouldn& #39;t be to relate to women in any shape or form?
That& #39;s not the same as disrespect.
That& #39;s not the same as disrespect.
I don& #39;t relate to people living in straight monogamous marriages with kids. That doesn& #39;t mean I can& #39;t listen to them, respect their decision or support their needs. Why is it such a requirement to not be neutral in regards to womanhood?
It seems trans masc people are as a whole still afraid to associate with manhood based on ciscentric assumptions of what it is and based on ciscentric fears of what being „the opposite gender“ means.
And just as much, still afraid to loose support by cutting ties to womanhood or even admitting disconnect.
