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…

    I think it’s obvious I’m not dumping all men in the group.

    Are you making it obvious to the people you’re talking to who get defensive of men?

    If you say “men” and are thinking of the majority of men who are toxic or tolerate other’s toxic behaviour, but the person you’re talking to hears “men” and is thinking of their amazing ally dad and brother, then the problem is that you’re essentially speaking different languages.
