I think eliminating trans as a qualifier when we talk about trans women and men is incredibly unhelpful. It is so obvious to me that trans women are women and trans men are men while also understanding that being transgender heavily informs the way you move through the world and are perceived, treated, etc. Attempting to ignore how trans men’s experience is different than cis men’s is unhelpful for no reason.

Their ideas about the “closet” are super helpful in breaking down and investigating the inclination to “come out” at all.

What I’m struggling with is the lack of context of Teich’s argument, which Binaonan is supposedly rebutting.

Also! Trans men catching strays left and right!

I think it’s telling that I was recommended this book exclusively by white people… Certainly reading this 10 years later, especially as a fellow chronically online trans person, there are a lot of ideas in here that I’m sure the author no longer agrees with (which they warn you about very early on).
