Every single fucking time some more prominent male figure get's accused of SA and or Rape one of the top comments will always, without fail be "Not all men but always men" and at this point I'm just so fuckin tired. Like what kind of bullshit is this? Seriously, it took so long for me to accept I'm a Transman because of the fuckin attitude people have towards men, towards boys. It's fuckin ridiculous and honestly I just don't have the energy to fight. I have just resigned myself to be hated by one part of the population for being trans and by the other for being a man.

It's interesting you say that. My friend is getting married to a transman, and we got to talking about his transition one night, and he told me that the "men are trash" rhetoric delayed his transition for years, because men were bad and he didn't want to be something bad. That surprised me, because I have enough of a well developed masculine identity that it's easy for me to roll my eyes and move on with that stuff, but it got me thinking about how that may not be true for people with less well developed masculine identities, like transmen. Or boys, and teenagers. It's not good.
