Me: hey there’s a big issue with anti-masculinity in queer and leftist spaces. Trans fems, if they don’t constantly perform hyperfemininity and aren’t little and skinny and white, are demonised and people call them pedophiles because there’s such a dislike of any association with masculinity. Trans mascs are told they’re “whiny MRAs” when they talk about the oppression they face. Masculine intersex people are erased or told they should just be more feminine if they don’t want people to be scared of them for looking masculine. People act like marginalised men (queer men, trans men, men of colour, etc, intersex men) aren’t actually marginalised because they’re men. The vocal “all men literally ARE evil” rhetoric isn’t actually venting when it’s constant and public, it’s harming marginalised men and is a contributing factor to teens and young cis (often but not always het) going down the alt-right pipeline, and is directly linked with trans people not transitioning or being too scared to transition because by becoming a man they are becoming “the enemy”. There’s the idea of “women +” or “women and nonbinary,” which positions all nonbinary people as ‘basically women’ or affiliated with femininity, and in practice ends up pushing away anyone who appears or identifies with masculinity, regardless of their gender identity. Butches are treated as if they’re just sex toys, or that they’re scary and dangerous because of their masc presentation. This is actually a huge, pervasive issue that is further hurting already marginalised people AND is pushing potential allies away because it’s making them feel bad for something they can’t control (being men.)

Dumbasses: lol op thinks cis men are oppressed by minorities
