Imagine how many trans women would be alive if their parents treated them with the same support that cafab trans folks’ parents do

You serious? Grass looks greener on the other side, and all that.

I spent last summer getting some therapy for the things my mother did.

I am very serious

How do you think young trans men are generally treated by their parents?

Significantly better than trans women because they’re men. Fuck off

Does the hole that my father put through my door with my face while he bellowed that I wasn’t a real man look like parental support and/or male privilege to you?

Because if so then I’m afraid you really need to sit back and examine your point of view for a little longer than it takes to erase our experiences and then tell us to “fuck off” for speaking up.

i could maybe understand the argument that society treats trans men better because they’re men. maybe. but the argument that all parents everywhere treat trans sons better than trans daughters is horseshit.

you’re claiming that mothers and fathers everywhere are totally okay with their supposed “daughters” coming out as men but the reverse is just absolutely disgusting. to all of them. every parent.

what mon-te said above me? i was on the phone with him maybe fifteen minutes after it happened. i have been in his house and heard his dad screaming at him about this “trans bullshit” and how he “never wanted a son” as if his opinion is what matters. 

i have had to console countless trans youths when their parents rejected them, and a good number of them have been trans boys. the thing about transphobia is that it covers every trans identity, and sometimes family is more violent about it than anyone else. 

nobody is trying to erase the struggles of trans women with their families. YOU are the one erasing the struggles of all trans men in bad family situations. you are being blatantly transphobic and cruel. you are pretending no trans boy has ever been shunned, beaten, punished, or disowned by his family because he is trans, simply because he is a trans BOY. you have no basis for this argument. you have no proof.

stop trying to shove trans men and trans women apart. some of our struggles are different, but many are the same. male, female, and non-binary, we live in a world that rejects us for what we cannot control. we are a downtrodden minority and we should not be splitting hairs like this and breaking apart some of the only support many of us have - from the overall trans community.
