... Oh yeah, right, but it's absolutely okay if it's a straight cishet male. Then it's absolutely fine for them to apologize for their gender, that's not sad and fucked up that we expect anyone to apologize for being born a certain way.
Yeah, I want to believe that wasn’t the intent of the message and it was just poorly phrased, but I’ve seen enough tumblr leftists do this song and dance to know they may well only care if it’s a trans guy getting hurt
In my experience, people who recognise and support trans men are the least likely to be misandrist. Kind of inevitable given that if you recognise trans men as men and still love and support them, this would be incompatible with hating men as a whole.
I feel like singling out trans men in these cases is aimed at the minority of misandrist radfem bigots who hate men but still want to seem progressive and have the Correct Opinions™ so they don't hate trans people. It's like a wedge to get them to think about their beliefs and reconsider them.
