[click the image above to enlarge it; screenshot reads: TRANSMISANDRY is the hatred of TRANS MEN because they are TRANSITIONING to a MALE]

If you wanted to know why I think “transitioning” is transphobic (except when trans people use it to describe their own personal process), this would be the perfect example. (x)

Not only is the definition of transmisandry inaccurate (if transmisandry was actually something that exists), the level of transphobia for a blog that is supposedly pro-trans men is astounding.

Trans men are already male. Using “transition” to refer to people besides yourself implies that these trans men aren’t men yet & they won’t be men until they “transition to male.” This is cissexist & gross bcos it implies that in order to be men, people must first fit the socially-accepted mold for what it means to be a man.

Inb4 “but I’m just speaking ~biologically~!!!” No amount of faux-biological bullshittery will justify misgendering trans men. Male/female terminology is just gender in a doctor’s coat.

Trans men are already male. Pre-op or post-op or no op, trans men are male.
