I get and don’t get trans mascs. Like I fully understand being trans, I just don’t get why anyone would ever want to be a man. But I’ll die fighting to support them.

Personally I don't think there's much to 'get'. They don't want to be men, they are men. And that doesn't have to mean toxic and sexist and a bigot. Not all men lol.

Side note: something funny I've noticed is that transmascs get the exact same "you'll never be a woman" / "you'll always be man" comments from people on mainstream social media. Makes it really look like it's actually all just bots getting triggered by the word "trans". But they've only been programmed to shit on trans women, so all they do when it comes to trans men is give them affirmation.

True. My wording was framed from my own point of view where presenting/acting male was something I performed and despised. I apologise for any trans mascs if it felt like I was saying you’re not men.

Even the ones who aren’t bots just rarely think of trans mascs. So they probably hear trans and think the person must be trans femme. Is that ewwphoric to hear when they say you’ll always be a man?

Honestly I'm sure it's still shit to have people / bots coming along to try and bring you down, even if they get it wrong and you can have a laugh about it afterwards. But these people's dumb comments will usually get posted for everyone to laugh at the dumb bigots who can "always tell".

I really can't speak for someone else's feelings but that sounds like a kind of ewwphoria to me. Turning attempts at bigotry into a celebration.

Yep. It's all rooted in a type of misogyny. I think 95% of the anti trans crowd are men who think washing their own asses is gay, and who are absolutely terrified of finding a trans woman attractive. To the point that half the time now, they can't interact with any women without trying to transvestigate or some shit.
