"you can't pick most trans men out of a lesbian lineup" have you ever like. met a post transition trans man?? do you not see the transphobia in saying that most trans men just look like masculine women? this isn't even about transmasc lesbians, idgaf how somebody wants to identify but goddamn that's a rude as hell thing to say. like if you reverse it with "you can't pick most trans women out of a lineup of gay men" like obviously theres a problem there.

The majority of trans men and women aren't transitioned. A pre-transition trans woman who doesn't dress any differently than a cis man looks like a man and male-attracted people will be attracted to her! Why the fuck do you think so many marriages both het and gay break up when trans people first assumed to be cis begin to transition?? It's also why most trans women first find community among gay men, why both transvestites and trans people formed the first trans communities to the point that we can't even tell whether Marsha P. Johnson was transgender and why people assumed Storme DeLarverie was a trans masc before finding out that he was a he/him cis female lesbian. But Storme presented and acted like a gentleman, the same way the MAJORITY OF TRANS MASCS DO. This is WHY ENFORCING A GENDER BINARY IN QUEER SPACES HURTS TRANS FOLK THE MOST.

ALSO!!! Even transitioned trans men can still choose to look like women! There's lots of mascs whose gender expression is "boy who looks like a girl". How the fuck are you going to tell whether someone is a pre-op trans masc or a butch cis lesbian?? Or pre-op trans masc who presents femme or cis femme lesbian or a femme post-op trans woman??? Do you submit a questionnaire about their gender identity before feeling attracted to the presentation and aesthetic??

#Ive been blocking these nincompoops all day but this one was the fucking limit #POST-OP??? WHEN THE MAJORITY OF TRANS PEOPLE ARE CLOSETED FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY??? OR UNEMPLOYED??? OR POOR??? #THE LEAST LIKELY TO HAVE HEALTHCARE???? #WHEN EVEN THE US AND UK ARE PASSING MORE AND MORE BARRIERS TO TRANSITION EVEN SOCIALLY???? #TO SAY NOTHING OF TRANS FOLK WHO ARE MINORS??? #I am literally going to hunt you and kill you #I wanted to call them a toque macaque because they're the single most annoying primate species AND a domestic pest #unfortunately the English word sounds far too elegant #unlike the Sinhala word 'rilawa'. so I will vent in Sinhala and call them an ඔලමොට්ටල රිලව #transphobia #transandrophobia #exclusionism #queer discourse #white queers #classism #anti radfem #anon #asks #knee of huss
