some kind of weird bias against transmascs

It's this one, lol. Most trans men don't want to hear about how reductive misogynistic stereotypes like "no girls on the internet" still apply to them too.

Our culture has a suspicion and hatred of people assumed to be assigned female at birth who deviate from female gender roles and the LGBT community isn't really exempt from that.

Unfortunately even other trans mascs aren't exempt from this and will sometimes police or nitpick each other, accusing each other of "toxic masculinity" on trumped up charges... like, if a trans guy doesn't want to wear nail polish or something, or if he doesn't want to have kids or take care of kids, it's because of toxic masculinity and not just because he's a guy.

This is not to mention the fetishism and genuine danger faced by younger trans guys getting groomed online and so on. The end result is most trans men and mascs pretending to be cis dudes online.

    that... does explain a lot, actually. especially what you said about "toxic masculinity", that could explain why all the trans guys i know tend to be relatively fem in their presentation... certainly food for thought.

    at any rate, i'll try to put more effort into calling that kind of behavior out when i notice it. thanks for sharing your perspective :)

    Nonbinary is relatively common both in transmascs and transfems but then so is comphet.

    thanks for sharing your perspective :)
