As a white AMAB, I have to deal with both misandry and reverse racism. It's tough. Prayers up in the chat

Thanks chat
You've almost got it
I'm NB, not a man, so I'd rather not misgender myself to make you more comfortable thanks
I am masc presenting and AMAB, so I still experience privilege because of patriarchy. Much as a white person, I still benefit from racial privilege. My experience is in no way comparable to how TERFs treat transwomen, nor do I wish to comment on a subject that I have no personal experience of. Which is precisely why the joke was at the expense of my own privilege and, indeed, privileged people in general.
I'm going to cut you some slack here because you're it seems like you're coming at this from a particular trans femme perspective(?), but you're making a lot of assumptions about me that aren't based on anything I've said. Not everyone who uses AGAB language is visibly gender nonconforming to a casual viewer. I am a masc appearing person who doesn't identify as a man, and the reason I refer to myself as AMAB is simply to acknowledge my biological sex where relevant to the discussion while not misgendering myself. I would experience misandry in the same way a man would, as an entirely incidental happenstance that has no structural backing (like "reverse racism").
If you want a take on whether what TERFs do is properly called misandry or transphobia, it would be better to direct it to someone who has been more directly affected. But either way I think you're bringing a lot of baggage to this conversation that really doesn't have anything to do with me.
Also, I've heard Whipping Girl is good. I probably will read it at some point
Nor should I have to go so far to justify a joke to you that is based entirely on my own experiences
No, I don't, actually. I never said or implied that I was speaking for every AMAB person. I'm also not Jesus Christ.
I support the right of any white-passing Hispanic person to say this lol, and I honestly am not sure what you're trying to get at. What right do you have say this is offensive if that's their experience? What are you policing this hypothetical person for anyway?
Great article, except I've already read it and it doesn't have anything to do with me. If you want to go tell at some TERFs, go right ahead, they deserve it. But spare me your outrage over me joking about experiencing male privilege
It's alright. I can tell this touched on an issue you care deeply about
No worries comrade
