Reckon I'll do a micro thread about ways homophobia is directed at trans men. 1. As below, anti-femme attitudes target trans men who don't present masc. 2. Anti-lesbian attitudes among trans men make it hard for edge cases or those w/ a lesbian history to feel accepted.https://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1366732998285156356 …
3. Post-hrt trans male voices/presentations often read gay, they are subject to homophobia based on the assumption that they are cis gays. 4. "Why can't you 'just' be a butch lesbian?" 5. Turns out, no one actually likes butch lesbians or people who look like butch lesbians.
6. In a few parts of the world, South Africa in particular, trans men are subjected to corrective rape (rape with the goal of making someone a straight cis woman) alongside lesbian women.
When I came out to my husband he threatened me. He just said "No you are not" in a way that I knew it was dangerous to say anymore. Years later when I talked to him about it, it was because he was angry because me being trans meant he was Gay.
What's odd is, the homophobia that happened before I came out though I've heard of this happening to other trans men. But, when I was in school, people used to make fun of guys who dated me, saying it was "Gay" to date me, even though I looked like a woman.
