2	The left’s response to the Kristi Noem husband cross dressing “scandal” is gross I agree with you a lot. I’m a gay trans man, and my various communities have been absolutely devastated by this administration including Kristi Noem. I’m pretty damn gender and sexuality transgressive. I’m not interested in kink shaming her husband, but I will criticize the fact that through their marriage and relationship he’s been a benefactor financially and in social status of every utterance of anti-LGBTQ and very specifically anti-trans rhetoric, policy, and legislation which has caused an…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/04/26 08:53 AM
11	Curious to hear from trans men about misandry This was in response to TheGuyWhoTalksShit. I apparently can’t Reddit this morning.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/01/26 07:16 AM
36	Curious to hear from trans men about misandry I’ve been in trans men’s communities for 20+ years as a trans man, and I think your comment reflects the reality of things for trans men well. Probably the most bizarre I experienced was being silenced in discussion about abortion because “men don’t get an opinion”, but trans women were invited to talk even though access to abortion doesn’t primarily affect their bodies or lives. There’s a lot of loneliness in the community. Often getting ousted from women’s groups and friendships during transit…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/01/26 07:15 AM
1	The Biden admin's Title IX regulations that roll back due process rights for accused students have been halted in ten states as a result of two temporary injunctions. The future is still uncertain, but we can make a few predictions. I know people here have complex feelings about the Title IX expansion, but I want to remind people that it provides significant rights and protections to trans boys and men who are in desperate need of both.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/06/24 06:14 AM
36	"I am trans and hate the online demonization of masculinity" \| The Michigan Daily OP-ED I’m a trans man and confirm this.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/06/24 10:37 AM
9	Do any other “non-masculine” men also struggle with a lack of acceptance? Yup, it’s interesting. Sometimes ridiculous. I’ve been dismissed when speaking up for abortion access and reproductive rights. Like we’re literally on the same team. lol. Still was told “you’re a man, you don’t get an opinion.” Well… alright… I don’t know what you want from me then. And then when speaking out for men, it’s like some sort of joining the dark side. When really it’s more like I see how both men and women get shafted.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/05/24 12:44 AM
9	Do any other “non-masculine” men also struggle with a lack of acceptance? So, I honestly can’t speak much for being a woman— as in an adult woman. I started transitioning when I was 18 and fresh faced out of high school. So, most of my experience on the other side was as a very tomboy girl/child. I’m in my late 30s now and 20 years have passed. I found being a girl to be difficult because I wasn’t one but everyone thought I was. I find being a man rather easy and I love being a man, even with its own hurdles and challenges. However, this comes with some contingencies.…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/05/24 10:24 PM
30	Do any other “non-masculine” men also struggle with a lack of acceptance? I’m a trans man, and have seen this fairly enough from feminist spaces and feminists. Feminism as an ideology, I generally support. How it’s used in practice by individuals, less so. A lot of trans men have backgrounds in women’s spaces, women’s movements, and feminism. It’s probably not any surprise that we lose that support, from people who said they supported us, when we transition. Sometimes that support extends up until we actually look and sound like cis men. It doesn’t even necessarily ha…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/05/24 07:54 PM
143	Trans Men Are Our Greatest Allies I’m a trans man, and have been living as a trans man for 20 years, which is my entire adult life. 15 of those years I’ve been stealth, as in people don’t know I’m trans. I also admin a Discord server for trans men in which we regularly discuss our experiences either being trans and/or being men. We deal with many of the same things cis men deal with and understand how our lives and social interactions change once we are perceived as cis men. I wish more men and men’s groups embraced us as men an…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/04/24 07:52 PM
3	Biden Proposed the Opposite of Equality for Men's Health Support This will likely be an unpopular opinion here, but screw it. I’m actually okay with this, and I suspect at least some of the underfunding he is talking about is related to the National Institutes of Health of which he has some executive power over. For some reference: Gender Disparity in National Institutes of Health Funding Among Surgeon-Scientists From 1995 to 2020 The gender health innovation gap: A perspective from the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health Gender Disparity in the Funding …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/03/24 04:02 PM
8	Why are men's problems discussed primary by Conservatives, whilst women problems prinarily by leftists? Very much agree with this. Along with suicide (mental health), physical health also. Conservatives have done what they can to gut the Affordable Care Act, are opposed to socialized healthcare, and want to cut Medicare and Medicaid. Meanwhile, men are less likely to go to doctors, get regular check ups, and die younger than women. For men who are veterans, which veterans are predominantly male, conservatives have also wanted to cut VA benefits and services. While I haven’t seen liberals tiptoe to…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/02/24 12:13 AM
8	Women should admit it is kind of a privilege that they essentially control the couple's social life Definitely agree with this. I’m a (single) man in a male dominant family and my sister was essentially tasked with all organizing and hosting all holidays, events, and family gatherings. The amount of cleaning, prepping, shopping, decorating, buying gifts, cooking, baking, more cleaning, is just insane. When I moved back close to family, I joined my sister in co-hosting so she wasn’t stuck with all the work. Every single event, neither of us really get to enjoy because there is so much work. Mea…	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/06/23 05:08 PM
1	Why are women more sociable than men on average? There is so much to plant identification! I work in natural resources with a lot of men who’ve been hunting, fishing, and gathering out in the backwoods all their lives with knowledges passed to them by parents and grandparents, they did their BS degrees in forestry, wildlife management, environmental science, natural resource management, etc. And they are completely confident in their abilities to walk out into the mountains with a meager pack of supplies and a gun and thrive for a week. They s…	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/12/22 11:30 PM
14	If you could change genders, would you do it? I’m a stealth trans man (cis and straight passing), and have lived half my life as a girl/woman and the other half as a man. Men’s relationships can be incredibly deep and I’ve found a good group of cis straight men who value emotional intimacy and support, once you’ve established yourself as trusted. They are complex, deep, emotionally sensitive, vulnerable, and transparent. We also freely compliment each other on our clothes, beards, hair cuts, weigh loss, muscle gains, handiness, DIY projects…	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/11/22 03:54 PM
6	Mamas boys are easily the least datable personality type of man imaginable, and it's not talked about nearly enough I’m a guy and I moved back in with my dad at 30 after my mom passed away to help him with housework and provide companionship through part of his first year of grief. I have no regrets about doing so. He needed it. Then I moved into my own apartment, and about a year later moved in with my sister and her family where I stayed for two years because my government salary (I’m paid about $20k under private sector) barely covered the bills and I was pinching pennies trying to make it. I moved out for…	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/10/22 02:27 AM
4	How true is it when people say women hate each other? I think it could be a straight man thing, and I could see how men could view complimenting and encouraging other men as an emotionally vulnerable thing to do. I think a lot of men also have a sense of competition with other men and so by building up another man it could hypothetically put himself at a disadvantage later on. But also to truly receive a compliment or encouragement, it’s almost like an acknowledgement that you need it in some way, and for men, needing something can be a form of sho…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/09/22 02:44 AM
13	Q4W: Without qualifications, which problems do you sympathize with men for in dating that women contribute to? I’m a trans man and have seen this kind of thing in my community. There are quite a few guys who’ve expressed feeling like they are “joining the enemy” by transitioning to men. Many have spent years in queer, feminist, lesbian, or women-dominant communities before realizing they are trans, in which men, males, and masculinity have been demonized for various reasons in these communities. A decent number spend years fighting with themselves and are emotionally/mentally anguished by it. It’s really…	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/09/22 01:41 AM
