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.
Isn’t that just “trans women have male privilege” with a coat of paint? I’ve been in plenty of trans spaces that are dominated by transmascs; I think it’s more because Reddit has historically attracted a lot of men, so those who transition end up on trans subreddit. It’s not wise to make assumptions about what every queer community is like, especially when it comes to saying trans women have an advantage. For example, back in the day on Tumblr, Tumblr attracted a lot of women, particularly in fandom/fanfic communities (ex. the classic “i really like m/m slashfic, almost like i relate to it or something”), so the community was often dominated by people who weren’t transfem, and this led to serious problems with transmisogyny at times.
