as much as I greatly dislike generalizing, it seems like when I encounter people who have insanely blown out reactions that cause real harm to nothingburger scenarios, it's more often than not theyfabs/hefabs
that's certainly not to say all trans men or transmascs are like that by any means, not even close, but for some reason it seems when it does happen, that's who it often is
idk I think it just kind of connects back to how a lot of trans/lgbt infrastructure was built by trans women, and it feels like people just dogpile onto that for themselves and then turn around and bash trans women for it (???)
it's certainly not a bad thing that other lgbt/trans people use infrastructure and communities built by trans women, but it sucks to see them then ostracized by that same community who sits on the shoulders of their work
it's probably a little too philosophical to be easily applied to any particular situation but just a feeling I've been having lately. and of course no one group is contiguous, so there will always be exceptions and irregularities
