Yeah, I met a lot of transphobes who thought I was a trans women and were suprised that trans men exist.

I've been told several times I'll never be a real woman, bc they just see the flag colours in my pfp. I have been trying my entire life to not be a woman of any kind, so I usually replay with,"That is literally the point of my transition" and let them try to sort it out

I get that one too. "You're a man, you're not fooling anyone." Okay.

Your name is Evan. You've got "he/they" in your bio. Your PFP is you with a beard. Why do people think you're a trans woman?

I think they assume I care about trans women I must be trans, and they don't think trans men exist, so

this has been my experience also. folks tends to assume that if you're standing up for a group, you're part of said group (folks have told me I must hate white ppl bc I support BLM, fr ex.) I think they're maybe telling on themselves? They wouldn't do that so no one would?

I think another part of it- for the more TERFy, deeper in transphobes, is that they believe trans men transition to earn male privilege and therefore couldn't be facing any sort of discrimination or prejudice of our own.

Oh yeah, they hit that one hard, and there have been days I got to hear that from transphobes *and" from trans people.
It's not *super* fun like I would not recommend this experience if you're a cis woman trying to escape sexism2 replies 0 retweets 8 likes
I've always wanted to write a Swiftian satire where I recommend that all women transition to become men, thereby ending sexism forever, but my editors have (wisely, I'm sure) turned it down on the grounds that no one will get the joke and they'll burn the magazine to the ground.
