R/trans is a fucking mess (lemmy.world)

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.

Is there an initiative to spread the information of this space to ftms on reddit? No, they should not feel pushed out of a supposed trans space on reddit, but if there is transphobia from the mod team, knowledge of this space would be beneficial.

R/ftm might be a good place to post. I’ve been banned so many times that any new account gets auto shadowbanned.

I actually don't know how to avoid these types on reddit, if you're a niche within a niche you get twice the bullying. I don't know what's wrong with that system, but it doesn't work.

People assume “trans” means trans woman.

I used to think that a majority of trans people were women, because that's the representation I encountered most online. It was rather surprising for me then to, in a Polish book about transgender experiences, read a psychologist (or therapist? I can't remember exactly) say that they usually had trans men visit them and that trans women were somewhat of a rarity. It makes me wonder if this gender disparity exists in any form in reality and why representation online seems to focus around trans women more often.

The book I mention is Ciała obce by Paula Szewczak.
