Rather Than Stubbornly Clinging On - Tumblr Posts

There's some science quote out there that goes something like:

'It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, if it doesn't agree with the practical its wrong'.

(let me know what the full quote is if you know it)

And I can't help but compare that to transandrophobic rhetoric which says that trans mascs have privilege over trans fems due to them being men.

And yes, in theory this is somewhat coherent, if oversimplified. Trans men are men, patriarchy values men. Therefore trans men should be more valued.

The problem is this doesn't check out. Trans men face the highest rates of domestic violence, IPV, sexual abuse, sexual assault, social ostracisation, isolation, mental health issues, denial of medical treatment, suicide attempts and more.

So even without having to get into WHY your oversimplified theory is bullshit, you should know. Its bullshit. it doesn't hold up.

Try Again.
