[–]yousaythosethingsFind and Replace "gatekeeping" with "having boundaries" 27 insightful - 4 fun27 insightful - 3 fun28 insightful - 4 fun -  (1 child)

So “trans men” want to not only be included but centered in all discussions of female biology but they don’t want the exclusive group of people that experience all or any of those experiences, processes, or have that anatomy to have a word to describe the collective? Like we can talk as much as want about pregnancy and birth and vaginas and menstruation? But not girl/woman/female? And god forbid there’s no space between the words “trans” and “man?” So what is it they’re trying to identify away from? It’s clearly not the experience of being a girl/woman/female. They just don’t want to be connected to other women and want instead to get grouped with men whose experiences they in no way share? Um . . . . ?
