Why can’t transmen go topless? If the answer is “because of their breasts” then this isn’t a transman issue it’s a female issue. And the transmen would be wrong for trying to silence other females. The issue is breast, right? Not identity. So why would a transman think it’s okay to silence other people who have breasts who face the same issue as them? It’s not a discussion of identity, it’s a discussion of anatomy. So anyone with that anatomy should be allowed to chime in on the discussion.

Also, transmen are absolutely allowed to have spaces free of other females. But tik-tok isn’t a transmen space. The poster discussed an issue directly related to her female anatomy, so people with that same anatomy agreed. I don’t really get the problem. TM said “I should be able to show my breasts (or maybe she said dude breasts idk)”. Other females said “we all should be able to”. Unless the tm only wants tm to be allowed to be topless while other females have to remain covered for no reason other than the fact that they (tm) think they’re a man?
