The struggle for trans men is different but caused by many of the same prejudices

It matters to me that we, as feminists, stand up for our trans sisters, and acknowledge that the struggle for trans men is different but caused by many of the same prejudices.  It matters because to do anything else would be to deny then the rights we take for granted.

I have donated to trans support fund raisers. I have regular conversations with people whose bigoted views are outdated and bigoted,  trying to teach them how to be compassionate,  which is often like trying to explain the difference between teal and aqua to someone who has been blind from birth.

I have been subjected to reams and reams of bigoted,  unresearched prejudice from people who refuse to extend kindness to people who are already struggling with dysphoria and systemic prejudice.  I will keep doing it,  though.
