Ok, so initially we saw a post criticizing this thread and had only read the chunks it was going after and agreed it was not good.
But uh.
Yeah uh.
This thread actually makes mostly good points.
Are some of them clumsy?
Yes.
But we get it https://twitter.com/long_red_scarf/status/1289780966202830848

Day in, day out what trans men on this site see is a nonstop flood of "men r trash, don't @ me" takes
Trans femmes like ourselves see "why on earth would you ever touch a gross disgusting man when there's gorl that exist"
And that isn't to say people can't mock their oppressors

But guess what? Trans men aren't the ones oppressing us.
Straight trans women aren't broken for being attracted to men.
Gay men might have cis & male privilege to some extent, but that doesn't mean they're "our oppressors"

We see a nonstop spew of two sentiments:
If you're a trans femme and attracted to men there's something wrong with you
All men are trash and should be thrown away (and SO many of you who pay lip service to "TRANS RIGHTS UWU" conveniently forget about trans men when doing this)

The patriarchy damages women, it's destructive to our psyches, our bodies, our souls.
All of these things are true
The patriarchy damages men, it destroys their bodies, minds, and souls as well
And while I fully understand not being able to muster much sympathy for cis-het men

who benefit from this system even as they're harmed by it, acting as though those of us femmes who are attracted to men are wrong, to constantly and viciously shit on all masc individuals and then to try and turn around and pretend you're supportive of "trans rights" is bullshit.
If you derive joy from throwing around "Men r trash" takes, we can't stop you, we won't even try. We'll just make a note that you think the love of our life, Ian is trash and react accordingly.
