One thing I hate about online circles is that people will see a extremely small bad portion of the group and then blame it all on members of a group.
No, there’s no large portion of Transfems repeating transphobic ideas from /tttt/ and harassing trans men. It’s only like maybe a couple hundred to a few thousand people. And I know that sounds like a lot but keep in mind that (if we are going by the assumption that 3% of the population is trans) there is 240 million trans people, assuming that half are transfem (120 million) then a thousand is only 0.00083%, ten thousand is 0.0083%.
There’s no large group of transmisognyistic transmascs blaming ‘transandrophobia’ on trans women, if you look up the term on tumblr you will see it’s the same people posting every time. Their posts get maybe a couple hundred to maybe a thousand notes. And following the same math as before , these people make up less then 1% of Transmascs.
When’s the last time you went outside or into a trans group irl and heard someone say ‘pooner’ or ‘cuntboy’ too seriously insult someone. When’s the last time you went outside or into a trans group irl and heard someone say the word ‘transandrophobia’ seriously. These people only exist online. They thrive on anonymity, and the lack of consequences saying weird shit online has.
I get being worried about these groups, even though these groups are small one person can send thousands of hate messages a day and ruin other people’s mental health. But the best way to combat these groups is instead of insisting that all trans people are out to get others, is to instead make sure people are informed about the individuals who are apart of these groups and the words they use so people can block them. Ignore them, don’t argue with them. Your wasting your time and sacrificing your mental health.
