I think we, meaning trans men in particular and the larger transmasculine community to a lesser extent, really need to think and talk about how we view lesbians in general and cis butch lesbians in particular.

And, this can be changed, as I suggested in the thread, by saying "I failed and just look like a woman in men's clothes" instead of dragging lesbians and their style into things at all.
There's also an oft-discussed problem of overcompensating and misogyny among trans men, but that's an area where I honestly think there's a ton of push back already and the transmasc community is doing as well as it can, so I don't think it's helpful to harp on it more here.

I'd be the opposite of your description. I can't comprehend parroting the misogyny...the very thing that represses you can not become your baseline. I always assume young folks come to grow out of that once they experience the effects. Evolve beyond current social stereotypes.

I became less misogynistic the instant I realized I was a trans man and I could transition. Before that point "woman" was this thing I hated being but could never escape from. I loathed everything about it, and it showed.
