being a no-op trans man does not excuse you for saying that no-op trans men aren’t ”as much of a man” btw. you can still have internalized transphobia towards yourself/others like you. if you ever say that someone is more/less of a man due to their genitals in any context, I’d advise you to stfu

Same goes for the rhetoric of “trans men/mascs can’t bottom/have to top” (toxic —
masculinity) or “depicting trans men/mascs with vulvas/bottoming/subbing shows you view them as women” (equating genitals/sexual position/sexual role with gender, which is reductive and obviously sexist/misogynistic).
