gender affirming crippling loneliness

[-] riwo 58 points 1 month ago

damn, i didnt realise even trans spaces are hostile to trans mascs :< thats ass

[-] TotallynotJessica 73 points 1 month ago

It's more that many spaces lean heavily transfem, so it's hard for transmascs to relate or feel represented

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 48 points 1 month ago

And sometimes the high prevalence of transfems in certain spaces leads to people accidentally doing things like she/her'ing everyone by default.

Lmao I've almost done this with my friends

[-] Gustephan@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

IME trans spaces are kinda just low key hostile to men in general. Not in the way where everybody is hostile or anything, but if you pay attention you'll notice that misandrists get away with a wild amount of shit slinging in trans spaces as compared to most other flavors of bigotry being policed quickly and harshly

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

My experience is that it's generally worse when in the milieu of an institution (e.g. university, larger orgs) or anywhere power imbalance is structural. That there are more examples of good in independent spaces.

I'm not much of a gender expressionist so maybe it doesn't translate to a transmasc exp.

We need more representation for trans men ('cos they're awesome)

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Allegedly there are more transmascs than transfems in young people.

[-] BiNonBi 3 points 1 month ago

The gap between them closed. They are roughly equal now as opposed to transfems out numbering transmascs. Transphobes latched onto there being relatively more transmascs and use it as a talking point in support of their "theory" of social contagion.

Not trans here, but please don't become an incel, a transmasccel, or whatever!

[-] BryceBassitt 3 points 1 month ago

You do know what the word involuntary means... right?

[-] TotallynotJessica 30 points 1 month ago

one need not have sex to avoid being an incel, nor does having sex really change a person

[-] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 month ago

Why male in quotation marks. Just why.

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 month ago

I read it as emphasis (since the text is also all caps)

[-] oftheair 3 points 1 month ago

Agreed, that seems wrong and misgendery.

[-] Soulg@ani.social 15 points 1 month ago

No it's referring to the "male loneliness epidemic"

[-] oftheair 3 points 1 month ago

Then why is only male in quotes?

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 11 points 1 month ago

Because there is a loneliness epidemic, but its not centred on males

[-] oftheair 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks for explaining!

[-] Soulg@ani.social 3 points 1 month ago

The poster is a trans man and I think it's them feeling validated as male, that's how I read it

[-] oftheair 1 points 1 month ago

Do you mean the OP in this thread because if so we're pretty sure that's not the case.

If you mean within the context of the pictures, sure.

[-] celeste@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

Online sure, but offline it's sometimes in reverse
