[picture of trans-colored gun] "the boys will not be boys, happy pride"

I cannot say this strongly enough: Fuck you. I am male. Stop trying to say I shouldn't exist.

How about you LET THE BOYS BE BOYS IF THEY ARE FUCKING BOYS?

Trying to force everyone into a single box like that is NOT pride.

@IceWolf I don't think anyone serious is saying you aren't allowed to be cis.

@spork They still shouldn't fucking say it. Even as a "joke".

Shit like that is never "just a joke".

@spork I've had /wayyyy/ too many people tell me "stop taking it seriously! it's just a joke! you're not allowed to be offended!" and no, I'm fucking GOING to be offended if someone tells me I shouldn't exist / shouldn't be me.

@spork Fedi does in fact have an "oh female is just Better and the only way to be!" bias in places. It hurts trans men too. Shit like this contributes to it.

(Cis women get a pass for some reason. It's not "cis bad", it's "male bad".)

@IceWolf I guess I didn't see the post so I can't really judge for myself.
