Trans man here who supports men’s rights

Feminism is full of contradictions.

Next time you have the opportunity can you please ask a feminist if #KillAllMen or #MenAreTrash includes trans men.

Watch their brain explode when they realise that either they've been advocating for the death of trans men, or they believe that trans men aren't real men.

Edit: As a meme

I a gender fluid born male who supports mens' rights. I believe that much of my gender issues stem from seeing the writing on the wall as a child. It's easier to give in than fight.

Fellow trans man here. I support men’s rights too. One thing I like about this sub is that it addresses the rape of men, which isn’t covered much.

Hearing stories about trans men getting raped makes me dysphoric because rape is so often seen as a “women’s issue.” But it’s not just a women’s issue. And this sub makes me feel better about that.

Rock and roll dude.

Men have feelings. Men are people.

Well gee, you're never gonna get listened to with an anti-female rape apologist attitude like that. Most men know this, to advocate for men is automatically advocating against women and somehow makes you (even if a women) a rape apologist.

Radical feminism

Ain't no such thing.

"Why is that such a hard message to get across to any feminist I talk to? "

A lot of them are basically just really selfish. There's a lot of that in this society; it isn't just them.

Well said.

Ego is the reason it's a hard message.

People want to feel important in some way; it seems that the feeling of being important is skewed with the opinion of being the right one; being a leader, or follower, isn't about being right though, it's about learning and adapting.

Hello there! We were just talking about trans members of the community on our new Discord last night. Trans members have a very interesting perspective on gender and I was wondering if you or any other trans members would like to tell me a bit about your experiences for an article on www.menarehuman.com? It can be entirly anonymous, if you'd prefer.
