    One downfall of what I only hesitantly refer to as modern feminism (although really I’m talking about terfs and the terf-adjacent) is that it has painted men as dangerous by default. I’m also a trans woman so I’ve seen both sides of the coin, too… I do feel less safe now, this is true. Many things were easier when I was living as a man. But I was never dangerous or an abuser.

    Nonetheless, a former partner used accusations of abuse against me and turned so many people on me. The only ones that stuck by me were former romantic partners, who knew the accusations couldn’t have been true. For everyone else, it was so easy to accept that a man - even a clearly gentle one - would be an abuser.

    In reality I’ve been a victim of abuse - physical, emotional, sexual… All long before I transitioned.

    There’s one small community on Reddit that just doesn’t exist here. Well, it does, but there’s like 5 members lol. If it weren’t for that I’d jump ship entirely. I am thinking maybe I’ll find a separate specific forum just for that one topic…
