Trans Man Of Color - Tumblr Posts
I fought with someone on this in the comments, but have since deleted the convo because of their willful ignorance and racism, as well as the fact that I was talking to a brick wall and the conversation was going nowhere due to rigid stances on both sides. For the record, though: if your first thought upon seeing somebody stand behind the concept of transandrophobia is to go "but CIS MEN! MALE PRIVILEGE!" you are a problem. Male privilege looks different based on race and other factors, which is what I tried to bring up in my now deleted rebuttals, and doesn't cancel out the fact that things like misandry and transandrophobia do in fact exist.
Black men are targeted by police because people expect men to be more aggressive. That is a sexist stereotype. Black men are seen as more aggressive, and therefore more dangerous. That is a racist stereotype. Black men don't really have a lot of male privilege because being black and a man is where a lot of their privilege stops. This does not cancel out the racism all black people face, nor does it mean black men are overall more oppressed than black women; it is merely another example of when not to fucking bring up male privilege in a conversation. That was the point I was trying to make, not that it matters because I have since blocked the asshole.
People claim to care so much about black people as well as trans men, but when someone has the audacity to go 'oh I face sexist oppression as a man' they LOSE THEIR MINDS. Then it's all male privilege and how women have it worse. Let's make one more thing clear in case I haven't already: don’t bring up male privilege to black trans men, because it means nothing to trans men and mascs of color. Your idea of male privilege simply doesn't apply to us as much as you think. And you know what? I dare say white trans men don't have much male privilege either! Especially if they don't pass. You can't just go 'oh but male privilege!' when a trans man dares have a word to describe his oppression. Knock it off.
saw someone claim that 'transandrophobia truthers' are 'so white' so as a black person: transandrophobia exists and is very harmful, regardless of how much you close your eyes and plug your ears. Hope this helped!
