Reminder to not brigade the FTM sub which is a sort of safe space / self help group - not a political sub. Please don't comment if you go there to read more. I won't be posting a link so the bot won't remind.

So basically the FTM sub is for little boys that were raised as little girls and now that they're older have taken their life into their own hands they are often asking how am I supposed to act like a dude? There's a lot of female energy on the sub because of how they were raised. And of course they're all feminists because that's the political movement that pretends to be compassionate towards LGBTQ folks, even though they also all know feminists kinda hate them, and it's an abusive relationship. Especially from TERFs but really even just regular feminists who are always denigrating men and then saying "oh not you though - you don't count as a man".

Today though I read a very masculine energy thread there because it's all about how often they get the shit kicked out of them. Not that it's all the time of course but many have their "that time I got the shit kicked out of me" story. Interesting to read it all while the guys still cling to their feminist "where's my male privilege" stuff. Sorry guys but getting beaten up is about the most male "privileged" thing you can get.

Name of the thread is "I'm Tired of People Saying Being FTM is Easy" if you want to read more. Some partial quotes follow

You know, though I've had men say creepy things to me, It's always been women who were very physically violent with me. And they got away with it too because nobody thought that they were capable of being abusive. And since I look like a guy, they always thought that I must have provoked it somehow. If one of them attacked me While I was out walking, no to give a shit what happened to me, even though I was smaller and skinnier than most of them. No, All the bystanders thought I fucking provoked it and the first words out of their mouths were, "Miss? Is this man bothering you?" No concern for me whatsoever.

Fuck TERFs. I don't even understand where in the hell modern feminists got the idea that all men are demon-spawn. There are a few bad eggs out there (esp. cis men) but that doesn't mean women have to kill off the other sex.

i understand what you mean, all of the violence i've faced at school in my life has been because im ftm

one of my friends got called a “tranny faggot” and spat on for several months straight when she identified as trans masc. she now is back int be closet and questioning and asks for everyone to refer to her as she/her again.

i’ve had cigarettes dropped on me, called faggot, tranny, misgendered purposely, had doors slammed on me, been slapped, kicked, insulted, spat on, followed, pinched, etc.

my friend has been told by what used to be a friend that he could “fuck the tranny [out of him]”

my other friend has experienced so much abuse by his family.

i’m so sorry you were attacked repeatedly, it’s absolutely disgusting. you are not alone.

Cis women hate hate hate to admit their cis privilege and culpability in transphobia, particularly white cis women. They have an image of themselves in their heads as being pure, perfect, kind beings who can do no wrong... And if you point out the ways in which they have done wrong, then clearly you're the one with the problem. In my experience as well as many other transmasc folks', cis (white) women are overwhelmingly the source of transphobia towards transmascs in particular, and because white women have this image of purity and kindness, no one believes us when we say they've hurt us. It can be very frustrating.

NO ONE acknowledges how cis (especially white) women weaponize their privilege as cis women to hurt minorities, because if you do, you’re a misogynist and should be ignored

I read stuff saying trans men have it easy/ and become oppressors and gain male privilege (which we really don’t) when we transition.

Nobody really takes violence seriously if it's done by women. The worst thing is when it's just seen as funny or cute and meanwhile you are actually afraid of them actually killing you. So funny.
