This tweet hit a nerve, way more than expected. There's a hunger for discussion of the specific issues trans men face. When possible I want to highlight those, not bc trans men have it worse (we don't) but bc others do a great job highlighting issues unique to trans women & NBs.https://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1361721308443250692 …

Appreciate you highlighting this stuff, but you (we) shouldn't have to rush to qualify any discussion of our struggles with "Oh, but I'm not saying we have it worse!!" Trans men/mascs need to be allowed to talk about these things w/o others insisting we "have it good" somehow.

Rumors of us having it good are wildly exaggerated. But, I do think there's a negative instinct in the community to enter into a contest about who has it worse. I'll proclaim my disinterest in playing that game loudly and proudly.

Absolutely; I share that disinterest, too. I just think it's disproportionally brought to bear against us.
