      They very genuinely hate men and thus can’t understand why anyone would “want” to be one, nor do they accept anyone who “once was a man.” Once you see shit like “political lesbianism” thrown around, you understand that there’s just no hope.

      It’s like a horseshoe from TERF to toxic masculinity, as both groups are terrified of seeing beauty in men (and all people) and have a very narrow definition of what a man can be.

        Where I live its like everyone is pro MTF but against FTM. So you have all these transwomen and nonbinary people who claim they hate terfs but at the same time, they’ll act like FTM isn’t a real thing and they’ll give it a different name and just say “genderqueer” even if you’re talking about someone who is FTM and they refuse to acknowledge the term “Transman” but love Transwomen.

        Like it really feels like there is so much in-fighting in the LGBTQ+ community. They often talk about acceptance but I rarely see them put that into practice outside of Pride events.

          As a queer person myself I’ve not yet seen something like this at least not something common or popular. The mainstream LGBTQ+ community is clearly accepting of trans men and most of the “in-fighting” in queer communities is made up by conservatives.

          And btw you should use trans man instead of transman because the latter implies trans men are somewhat different from “regular” men.

            Can you explain how a space between the words does that?

              When you write “trans man” you’re using trans as an adjective and as a description of a man. When you use “transman” it’s a new noun and this means it’s a different thing other than just “men”.

                  This was not about singular or plural it’s about writing “trans man” and “trans men” with a space or not

            I am NOT a conservative and I am NOT making this up.

            And I really do not fucking appreciate how you have been talking to me this entire time.

              Sure… You’re just using the language that conservatives use and making the same points conservatives do.

              just stop trolling or if you’re serious… think about why you do the things conservatives do
