Women's language is getting butchered for both Tifs and Tim's . Some of this menstruators, chestfeeders, birthing people crap is for tifs. That's the thing, women's language is being butchered for both groups. Of course its women and not men that are supposed to fing make all the accommodations. Also men and women transition for different reasons and I just don't think women who transition fetishize masculinity in the same way men fetishize femininity.

Because, you see, when you bully and displace women, they don't bash your skull in, choke you to death, dismember your corpse and dump you in a river.

Because FTMs are socialized as females, as they are females, and as such have a normally female temperament.

As much as MTFs enjoy claiming they always "acted feminine", the male socialization jumps out online.

I keep thinking - imagine Rachel Dolezal reversed.

You can't because it would never work. Hence, you'll never hear about the TIF's either. I do not want to make it seem that I think transsexualism is transracialism (or whatever the hell RD was trying to do). But it usually makes the point far faster than explaining "no, you cannot feel like a woman" yada yada.

As for the TiFs... I'm sure they're out there but my god can you imagine what would happen if they admitted they were BORN FEMALE? If I was a TiF I probably would shut the hell up because coming out would not be a nice thing.
