Differentiating between "cis-men" and "trans-men" is so transphobic and I can't understand why nobody realizes it. Saying "I'm a trans-man!" and not just "I'm a man!" is internalized transphobia, you're saying that you don't think that you're equal to a cis-man and thus need to set yourself apart instead of embracing the man that you are.

To combine wankgate's two favorite topics it's basically the same as when JK Rowling claimed she has nothing against transmen. Think about why that's the case.

Cant have the icky penises invading our space, but trans men who are totally men but don't want to be identified as the icky type of man are fine

That sounds like something a cis man would say

d trans male a

i say it because i'm proud of being trans and don't want to hide it, is that so bad?

for what it's worth it's also better to say "trans man" rather than transman or trans-man. you don't say whitewoman or white-woman. it's not a superhero nickname.

I'm fairly out of the loop these days with regards to terminology, I wasn't aware that there was a preferred way to write it but I do appreciate you letting me know.

It isn't bad to be proud of who you are obviously, but these days it just seems performative for trans people to announce that they're "a TRANS man (for example), and therefore I'm a special kind of man! I should be treated exactly the same the same as other men BUT I'M TRANS so don't lump me in with those CIS men because we're actually completely different!"

ayrt

in my experience it's usually a shorthand way of saying "i'm a man but i have certain lived experiences which will inform my thinking" as well as.. just being proud of who you are? like if you read someone saying "oh btw i'm a trans man" as demanding special treatment than that's on you, since it's all going on in your own head with your own assumptions.

also for what it's worth.. trans people do have different experiences than cis people. that's just reality. but that doesn't mean we don't have the right to be treated as men or women the same as everyone else.

someone being proud of being trans isn't something they should be ashamed of or be ridiculed for, imho.

major +1, assuming someone wants special privileges because they're not afraid to say they're trans is drawing a connection that isn't there and exists in your head because of biases

erm assuming that's what someone intends to convey with "i'm trans" is a touch transphobic itself

why is TRANS man in scare caps? why do you feel saying "i'm trans" is so performative that the scare caps were necessary? etc

CIS was also in scare caps in case you missed it lol

That's probably the weakest part of this to try to pick apart ngl
