sure, that can be true of other people by default, but I know my own self—my identity has been fluid for a long time. if I decide I want to be nonbinary rather than a man, then that’s what I’ll be

I don’t feel I have the option to become cis, but I can still decide I don’t want to be a man without rejecting my own transness

I have a lot of love for trans men, I definitely feel fondly biased in favor of y’all on average idk, I’ll likely circle back around again at some point, I just am a crazy traumatized creature who often doesn’t even feel like a human

that was always the intent, and feeling like A Decent Man is definitely rewarding, it’s just that partly my identity (just personally) feels determined by a sense of kinship / affiliation and it’s starting to really alienate me how uncommon it is for me to meet men I vibe with. at least recently

? I definitely didn’t claim that trans men are totally different and superior. quite the opposite, I’m saying that I feel *so* personally different from the cis men I meet that it’s got me questioning if I’m really a man in general

that being said, I also think transmasc people Can perceive some amount of difference between cis men and ourselves, just based in our on-average formative experiences, without that equating to interpreting trans men as women

Maybe do some deeper self reflection then. Being trans (or cis) isn’t a choice — that’s just not how it works

again, nothing wrong with asserting this in a general sense, but: 1) hello, notice that I explicitly said I don’t feel I have the option to be cis? and 2) it’s definitely not your place to dictate how I can or can’t relate to my own individual identity and/or my sense of autonomy concerning it! you’re not me, don’t talk down to / over me about my experience please ✌️

like, surely you understand that I’m not restricted to being either a trans man or a cis woman? nonbinary people exist. sometimes a trans man becomes a nonbinary person. I’m allowed to choose a nonbinary identity if I start to feel alienated by maleness, full stop

OP was separating himself from the general behavior of men

basically—if anything I’m gesturing to the overarching category of Men and saying “huh… not totally certain this is where I belong”
