Interesting how there's more hate for MtF than FtM
I think this is a form of misogyny. FtM aren't taken seriously because they're seen as confused women
I think its specifically the “women are precious and fragile and need to be protected” form of misogyny, since it explains both hatred towards MtF and the ignoring of FtM
::: spolier cw transphobia As you said, FtM folks are disregarded as confused and mistaken and needing help, needing saving from “gender ideology” and MtF folks are predators, attacking women in bathrooms, and the women must be protected from them. :::
You need the content to be on separate lines from the start tag and the end tag, like so:
You're spot on otherwise
My personal theory on this (with absolutely no negativity directed at anyone at all, and a willingness to be shown I'm wrong) is that FtM pass unnoticed more easily in many scenarios.
Makes sense. A women wearing pants is pretty par for the course and anyone else they’d just call a butch lesbian and, more or less, move on.
I suspect you're correct. I'm super jealous as MTF, just on the part of male puberty naturally deepening the voice, wish it worked the other way too.
Because it's just bullshit
It would have to be explained to them that if they're afraid of penises in women's restrooms then they should be equally afraid for the vaginas in male restrooms
Now the misogyny becomes misandry, which just falls apart because it is neither. It is just hate in the form if projecting their own insecurities for their own political gain.
There is no reason for people to suffer because of someone else's insecurities.
Especially when those people are suffering just to serve as a political distraction.
A political distraction that exploits both the trans community and voters by fomenting anti-trans sentiment
It’s more just misogyny for us. They don’t see as actual threats, more like confused tomboys. The angle I think they’re working on for us is mental health and concerns about our reproductive capabilities. We are of course “mutilating” our bodies. I could see them banning testosterone treatment because it can harm embryos.
The trans woman they want to kill, the trans men they want to quietly stick in asylums (and maybe kill. maybe just rape)
I mean they can both take my number.
