seeing men/cis men as monolithic also has something to do with it. intersectionality isn't seen as applying to men even though men who aren't cis/white/straight etc often have specific experiences of oppression. proximity to womanhood == social cred

[Alexander Avila @aretheygay]

Why do so many trans men seem to have lingering attachments to womanhood and girlhood?

I have some theories.

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@lovesickmani youre probably ugly

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@anonylesmar this seems like a strawman. the social belief that bi men are inherently less masculine or disgusting for being bi , which a lot of straight women hold, is what people are criticizing

@LexaCola2 close friend of mine is a cis woman who is 6'1" :-)

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@goatzhornz @nonstopbrocock dude dont let that stop you. my gf is 5'9" and im barely 5'5" . we are both trans

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@cinnamonmaxxing "incel" just being randomly thrown in

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@InfinityHM_VEVO you guys need to stop unironically using the incel terminology

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@mangocatlives you called some random dude's body gross without being asked your opinion. why are you surprised?

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@BigTiddySatoru @mewo_x3 why cant a cis man be a lesbian? no special afab connection?

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@TimonTomato and not experiencing dysphoria is a damn privilege. experiencing dysphoria around your genitalia is an isolating experience that most people in the world will not understand .

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@TimonTomato as a trans man I cant imagine poking fun at other trans people's dysphoria

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@worksbyroy @ahsleepp maybe get less miserable man

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@nyui_arantes bro the way your back grew is insane . im trying to look like you

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@thintechgodhead bro I was blocked for simply stating my experience pre-transition wasn't that of the average cis woman and I felt excluded from "female community" because i was visibly gender noncomforming

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@tShrinkingRae @ItaSylver stop with this shit. i was treated like a butch lesbian or weird androgynous thing. straight cis women bullied me for my masculinity in school. where the fuck was this "female community" for pre-transition me?

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@C_A_Sophie @turningmystile be so fr 💀

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@supesbutch importantly i also did not say no trans men experience "female typical" socialization.

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@supesbutch your argument that trans men's socialization is automatically closer to cis women's than vice versa. cis men can be gender nonconforming and not experience "male typical" socialization. youre making a claim about patterns that i doubted.

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@turningmystile im gonna decide that if you are 5'6" + saying this maybe you shouldnt speak for other people

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@turningmystile i'm dysphoric about my height and i see it as seperate from social insecurity about it. being short as a man doesn't matter much to me, its being as short as i am

[liam @_liamxyou_]

@supesbutch fair enough, i will agree to disagree. both your original post and the comment you are replying to have a somewhat generalized take on trans men's experiences of socialization which, imo, is always going to contradict a lot of people's lived experiences
