I've seen a lot of bad discourse lately, from people I generally respect and admire, about how misandry isn't a real thing and doesn't affect people's lives and so on. This is especially frustrating because we were speaking about a trans man, and I am just...so tired. And so depressed by the way feminism is so resistant to the idea that it can and does cause harm, and that the harm feminism causes in its own name is not justified no matter how, I don't know. Worthy our goals are. It makes me feel bad about calling myself a feminist (queerist, post-feminist). It makes me feel bad about everything. 

I have a tag for talking about the "privileges" trans men have. What I desperately need is validation and people - men and women and NBs - talking about their experiences with misandry. If you have links to such things, or would like to share your own, I would love to hear it.

Oh my god, I feel that so hard.

It mostly affects me in the demonization of liking certain sexy anime things, like ecchi.

Everyone starts talking about how only men would get off to that stuff and how gross it is and I just go: "But it's demonstratable that I'm not a man, and I like that stuff, so what gives?"

I just also feel on edge in feminist spaces just for not being a woman. Like, I'm not a man, so I'm not pure evil, but I "rejected womanhood" so clearly there must be something wrong with me. /s

I feel so hard for trans women and AMAB NBs, because I know they're getting it much worse.
