Okay. So. Infighting! It suuuucks! It hurts all of us! It REALLY hurts nonbinary, PoC and questioning folk!
This isn't to diminish the horrors of what happens in the US whatsoever.
So, here's some of that in-depth look, without "who has it worse!" bullshit. Any comparisons are ONLY for context.
Again, predominantly Australian stuff here.
"You don't exist."
"You're not important at all."
"You have no pain."
"What are you even complaining about?"
And here's where trans men begin to have issues that well, are Transmasc Issues (nonbinary folk included!).
I've been trying to find the study for weeks, and I apologise greatly for not being able to link it, but I have seen an Aus/NZ(?) study that found over 50% of trans men had experienced sexual assault I believe by the time they were 25. Often more than once.
I know this doesn't flow well, but here is where I pick apart study data line by line detailing how trans men's mental health is the only statistic among LGBT(intersex/PoC/disability/ace/etc intersections notwithstanding) that doesn't improve over time.

"The data we have collected so far suggests trans men are at lower risk of HIV than cisgender men"
I had to educate and link this professor to several studies all stating transmascs are at very high risk. His data affects all of Australia. He never replied, but he did immediately contact a trans guy working for an AIDS organisation to ask if this was true.
Every one of us has a lived experience that doesn't negate anyone else's.)
And of course I had this tab open the whole time and forgot all about it. Loree Cook-Daniels really simply and with an easy to read graph provides information about the types of violence trans men experience.
