You’re preaching to the right choir for sure, cuz you make me want to sing lol

In my area the idea of “male socialization” is the norm, and accepted as fact. We get treated like freaks and the transmascs get treated like widdle soft babies that are just ohhh so confused 🤢🤮

I don’t like the fucker for what he did to me but my ex husband is fucking growing a beard and people act like gendering him properly or giving him the respect you’d give an adult is a Herculean task. No, bro, I don’t care if their chest sticks out a little or their voice is a tenor.

I’m fucking tired of people being blind to their gender biases. If they ignored my voice and didn’t stare at my crotch maybe their tiny peanut brains could process that the person in front of them seems feminine, and dresses as such, and has a proportionate rack that is very visible.

Now that’s preaching to the choir. Fucking shitgoblins with carnival culture.

Sorry if this rant is too much

I have a therapist but we don’t have enough time to discuss everything that affects me on the daily

Two different expressions of continuing to enforce patriarchy. Men being monsters and women being infantalised.

This shit is partially why a lot of new trans women also end up actively being happy when they receive gender affirming patriarchal behaviour like cat calls or abuse. It messes up a lot of people.

It’s fucked up, yeah. I tend to interpret men’s advances as friendliness I end up with men chasing after me just for my body
