Trans feel good story:

An all trans masc team placed third in an iron man competition. They beat over 200 teams.

Trans mascs aren’t automatically worse than cis men at sports.

Them.

Do they call themselves transmasc ? Or are they transMEN ?

@MusiqueNow @Melezioh most people use a space
Tall man
Bored man
Strong man
Trans man.

Trans folks are people. Missing out the space makes them seem more separate. Trans is just an adjective like any other.

An antiAFAB world hates AFABs who are MEN and try desperately to disrepect and dismiss the manhood of transMEN whilst having NO PROBLEM saying #TranswomenAreWomen

Even some trans women along with TERFs and cis gay men (I'm sad to say) have trivialised transMEN and make excuses for refusing to respect them as MEN

That's why I asked if these 3 people refer to themselves as 'masc' instead of men. Whether they refer to themselves as 'masc' or 'men' is up to no one else but these 3 people.

@MusiqueNow @Melezioh yeah I don't disagree with your overall point

I'm just saying your smushing together of the adjective 'trans' with the noun men (or women) is also quite dehumanising.

I.e. Using transmen/transwomen instead of trans men, trans women.

You can't be serious!
