  • Tbh with how yall are denying the gender pay gap and acting like you carry the world I’m kinda rethinking my support of men in any way. Like bro women get drafted too, and they’re called trans women. The issues you’re talking about don’t even only affect men, so it really just ends up being ineffectual whining.

    When I presented male and worked at McDs, I had the highest wages of anybody but the manager. After I transitioned, they wouldn’t hire me. That’s an infinitely large pay gap.


  • So you’re able to recognize that women CAN do dangerous work that pays well, but unable to recognize that sex work being the most done dangerous job for women isn’t a problem? Do you not realize that most sex workers make far less money than similarly dangerous jobs? You might see top dollar escorts on the internet but the vast majority are women who are one paycheck away from homelessness. You’re also not considering the availability of these jobs to women. I work in tech, and I no longer get job offers after transitioning. That isn’t a mistake. Women do not fit cultures constant sexual harassment and racism, which is what men expect from them. Women are seen as less capable and less intelligent. Inb4 you argue I should have to do something dangerous and unrelated to the education I payed for.

    Also, your gender bioessentialism is extraordinarily outdated, and reeks of alpha male podcasts. You’re probably the type of guy to feel emasculated when a woman is stronger than you.










  • I had a mental breakdown a while ago because I was in denial of my gender identity. I…can’t remember much of it, but it wasn’t great, according to my loved ones. I’m ashamed of it and I wish I could do anything that I felt would properly apologize to them but I’m sure it traumatized many of them, as I’ve done in the past. Before I blacked out, I can remember that mandalas would appear on surfaces my mind wanted me to focus on, twisting and seething with an entrancing psychedelic energy that forced me to focus on that task. I’ve never experienced terror more complete than losing control of both my body and mind, and I’ve almost been trampled in a human stampede, blocking people from trampling others and picking up fallen children off the ground. Life is better now that I have estrogen in my system, but I imagine it would be intolerable otherwise. I hope I can forgive myself one day. I have therapy soon, so that will help a lot.
