Not talking from a sexual perspective, i think so much people lately has fallen into perpetuating the vision of trans people as a kind of fetish; no, i think trans men are kinda beautiful and i like seeing them represented in media and art, and represent them myself as well sometimes
I think perhaps the discourse around trans identities falls too much into putting the Spotlight into trans women; please do not interpret this as a slander to trans women, i don't think they're doing anything wrong nor think that giving them visibility is wrong
But i do think that in the general panorama, trans men are often left in the shadows regarding the visibility and celebrating them
I think, and this is more a personal perspective, that, while i Will not fall into a moralist perspective, that perhaps we have internalized and normalized an indiferent perspective to the spectrum of the masculine experience, and that by consequence affect trans men
Is normal for us, and yes i do include myself, both as a bisexual and non exactly cis man, as Community, to turn the figure of the individual man as an objetive of Joke
Yes, i'm aware that this is nothing but a form of rejection to a system that has been historically controlled by cishet men, and molded upon their own standards, yet i do also think that reactionary perspectives can be extremely harmful in the Long term; for what we want is to re structure and create a better System, yet the way to do this is not through perspectives that can lead to polarization and alienation
No, this is not an apology to misoginy, nor an invitation to that christian discourse of "Forgivness as a form of resistance", because i think that's bullshit, but i do think that, while misoginy is a huge problem, one does need to also be careful to not fall on the other side of the coin under the mistaken perspective of resistance
Remember that men are victims under this System as well, both cis and trans, and masculinity is a Wide spectrum that we should also try to encourage in order to resist to the predatory Tactics of the System
I'm aware that today is the day for trans men visibility, so go there and congrat your trans friend/partner/relative, and try to offer him a better perspective were being a man is more than just a synonim of "being part of the problem"
