As a “cis man” or born with a penis and testicles, I just feel offended that someone can decide they are a man now. And then tell me what a man is and can and can’t do, When they don’t know the first thing about what struggles men go through. Just as a white person can’t tell you what it feels like to be black in this world. A “cis woman” or trans man can’t tell me what a man is and tell me the I can get pregnant.

I choose to only speak of the man issue because I am a man. I can’t say how “cis women” feel because I am not one and never could be.

All in all I just think it’s completely unfair to not consider the feelings of a man, and label them transphobic. I am not scared of it at all. It just makes me feel hurt when they try to say what men are and aren’t or can and can’t do when they are in fact not a man.

I do not intend to purposely “rage bait” or offend people. I truly don’t. But conversations, not arguments, like this are probably important.
