i dont need people to "not all men" for me. i internalized this before i transitioned, but i have always understood jabs at men not meaning that all men do [thing] but simply that 99% of people who do [thing] are men. it does not offend me. i really dont care. most of the time, i agree.
and instead of getting mad at random people for venting about men, i would much rather we put our energy into reshaping trans spaces that are so hostile to masc folks. say cis men when you mean cis men. dont say that T is poison. dont conflate "trans" with "trans woman." dont create dichotomies in the trans community to exclude trans masc people. i could go on and on you get my point.
we're in this together, and everything i do is to try to bring us together without pretending we're the same. we can acknowledge our different needs and experiences without excluding eachother.
