As another trans woman it has been so hard for me to connect with other trans women because of this.

I'm very critical of men and the way they behave in our society, and my cis girl friends and gay male friends almost always agree.

Now every time I bring this up to trans friends they jump to defend men, girl why are you defending men when they're literally the ones killing trans women and cis women at exponential rates and you're telling me that men don't have a problem??

I genuinely don't understand that need they have to defend men...

We defend no one in their hatred - rather, we oppose the (often political and state) actors behind the bigotry that fuels some people. While more non-queer men than women tend to be discriminatory against queers, it is certain 'politics' that are pitting these people against us.

Without exposure to those sources, non-queers and queers alike would enjoy a much better environment with much less discrimination.
