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.
The extremely short version is that a trans man made a post on the trans subreddit, saying that trans men's issues are overlooked and under seen.
One or more moderators removed the post, claiming it was "divisive".
The sub basically blew up, as there was nothing divisive in the original post. Drama has ensued. I don't know that it's been resolved .
Hmm, who from who gonna be divided from that post? Cis and trans people? Because it is interpreted as actively searching issues with cis people to infuriate trans people over cis people? Like mods think boy is ok, and trans men complaining over being called a boy are overreacting? Because it is the correct gender?
I guess a man that is called a “boy” from others has different meanings in different cultures 🤔
