Because many trans guys see cis straight men not just as the ideal but the default for manhood instead of having the courage and imagination to think of and create a new version manhood for themselves
@chudmoderr Yeah I agree I tried to expand on it a little bit. whenever someone does get the courage to do something different, he is mocked and harassed until he stops. It’s a vicious cycle I’m not sure how we break out of other than not gaf
That and any time a trans man tries to do anything online from art to music to theory we get called cringey and annoying/evil/stupid and told to stfu so it’s hard to build a trans masculine framework for masculinity when everyone tells you to kys for even suggesting it lol
There’s worms in the beef and there is poop on the lettuce and tomato. Cheese isn’t real and the ketchup gives you cancer. They’ve ruined the burger. And we just watched.
@testolarper Also cis men do have to lol why do you think there is a supposed “masculinity crisis” right now? The word is being reinvented in front of our very eyes my friend and all men are struggling with what that means.
@testolarper I think two things can be true at once (in fact maybe even more than two!) that isn’t the “only reason” why trans guys are scared there are many lol
@testolarper I know you probably dont but I care about other trans men and creating a better culture to be able to explore our trans identities in a healthier way that isn’t rooted in the patriarchal ideals that scare so many trans men out if transitioning altogether
