We're invisible for being transgender men, not for just being men. But because we don't fit a specific viewpoint and cannot be used advantageously by transphobes unless it is about us "mutilating" our bodies, and thus we are highly invisible in trans and queer spaces alike. That's what that meme meant. We also don't get a ton of representation in media or even in studies.
It is an awful transphobic term, made to prioritize one's AGAB over their gender identity. It's transmedicalist too in the perspective that it affirms that there are "other" less valid trans people.
Also, you're not the only one targeted by the term. Binary trans men (like me) have had it used against me to say my experiences weren't valid since there is a vapid dichotomy between the experiences of trans AFAB vs trans AMAB people.
It's a terrible transmedicalist and misogynistic term, made to divide us intentionally
I have begun coding my personal website which has been pretty fun recently and also I am doing a lot more when it regards my art; I've drawn about nearly three pieces now in under a week!
But other than that (lol), I found anarchism through the punk movement and me being an edgy little kid. I realized how much I genuinely wanted to be the positive change in my world, and I began participating in soup kitchens and being involved in my community pretty frequently and I got tired of seeing all the injustice.. So I began to read a lot of theory at 15 and now here I am!
I don't think they've suddenly realized.. It's just misogyny doesn't feel good to them when it's directed at privileged republican white women and not lower class black women or latinas.
Ayooo awesome win on your mustache! Mine is a dirt stache but I have excellent beard coverage on my cheeks and chin. You should try dr DHT's beard oil! It's trans owned and pretty awesome for beard growing.
Haha no I'm still on Lemmy I just don't post or reply much but ty ❤️
