i can't speak about any transfem experience because i'm not transfem, but with trans men people seem to think that we're somehow a different kind of man, or just a different gender, a weird combination of butch and nonbinary. like people will say something along the lines of i hate men (which i have no problem with to be clear dudes have said far worse about women) but they'll then say like "but not like trans men" and like NO THATS SO DANGEROUS DUDE. LOOK UP ANDY BLAKE TRANS MEN ARE JUST AS CAPABLE OF BEING WEIRD AND AWFUL hell sometimes trans men might be tempted to be awful so they can be considered a real man.
something else ive noticed is that a lot of times girls will still try to relate to trans men in girlhood and cis men don't really see us as just some other guy
i might sound actually insane rn idk i might be isolation may be getting to my head

No you’ve got a point. Trans men get infantilized & trans women get villainized. It’s one of the many cisheteronormative beliefs that keep us oppressed. Nonbinary people tend to get the “theyfab” treatment. It all sucks. It’s why we gotta harp on that trans men are men & trans women are women. That concept seems too hard to grasp for some people.
At the end of the day, we’re all people & we are as capable of being bad as much as we’re capable of being good.
