As another trans woman it has been so hard for me to connect with other trans women because of this.
I’m very critical of men and the way they behave in our society, and my cis girl friends and gay male friends almost always agree.
Now every time I bring this up to trans friends they jump to defend men, girl why are you defending men when they’re literally the ones killing trans women and cis women at exponential rates and you’re telling me that men don’t have a problem??
I genuinely don’t understand that need they have to defend men…
Unfortunately there’s also lots of lefties, women, etc who would also be weirdly defensive of men. OTOH, there’s many men, even cis straight ones, who’d agree if you complained about men.
I wonder if you are just less selective with which trans women you associate with just because of a stronger assumption of shared experiences and shared beliefs and there’s simply not that many around to associate with.
