Being a man isn’t a choice, you can condemn misogyny and the patriarchy at whole without devaluing trans men. you can’t “I hate trans men” your way into feminism. Also when trans men speak up against transphobia, it’s not an invitation for you to center yourself. https://twitter.com/damexpatr/status/1345360632221212673
The amount of times I’ve seen people call trans men posers/gender traitors etc. for simply living in our truth. Also not every trans man is cis-assumed or benefits from the patriarchy you speak of when condemning all men. These type of conversations acquire nuance.
Trans men aren’t saying “you aren’t allowed to dislike/speak against men” we’re saying there’s a fine line between recognizing misogyny vs. blatant transphobia. Cis people still have privilege over trans folks.
