Not me, but if you’ve been following the drama, they removed this post about the unique issues we face as “divisive.”

It fucking sucks. There’s been a lot of discussion in other trans masc spaces about “transandrophobia” and this seems to absolutely demonstrate it. We aren’t treated seriously in spaces that should be welcoming for us.

People assume “trans” means trans woman. Spaces for trans people are often for trans women. Jamison Green wrote a while back about us not really having our own community, decades ago, and it still feels true today.

Yes! Enbies are valid and there are so many ways to transition. I always say to just do what makes you happy because everyone is different and there is no "correct" way, just different ways.

You would think that if anyone was going to, then other trans people would understand that, but my gods so many people in the community end up whether they realize it or not perpetuating the bad stereotypes that cause so many of us grief. Trans guys don't have to take everything on the chin without complaint to be valid just like trans ladies don't have to perfectly perform femininity to be valid. You'd think that people who reject the box they were put in wouldn't be jumping at the chance to force others into boxes.
