  • I’m not trying to legitimise anything, but when I try to convince such people, I usually fail, that’s why I brought it up. Yes it’s weaponising fear and it’s the same irrational beliefs that make people racist or nazi, and a lot of other things, I think

    Regarding the sources, I think it’s stories like this or this that makes them worry, don’t know if sources are credible, first one looks pretty fake.

    nitpick

    besides, I didn’t say

    used cross-dressing as the primary way

    it can be opportunistic, not modus operandi, I only think that this is realistic because statistically speaking there are enough abusers on the planet so that at least some could try doing that

    This is actually a confirmed meme though.

    Except for a couple of details from the link you posted: there were only two worms, and they are likely of the same age (don’t think this can be determined more specifically than ‘around 40 thousand years’), and the picture is absolutely wrong.

    I think it is fair to understand it as “if you have to say that you want to feel manly, you aren’t”

    I think I’ve read it differently and this was the source of misunderstanding. I understood it as you should do what you feel like doing and not saying others that it’s a manly thing to do.

    I heavily reject the notion that you or me get to decide what makes someone feel manly

    Absolutely agree.

    why are we judging men for expressing that they want to feel like a man without asking them what the fuck they mean?

    This, I think is the same misunderstanding of mine, I didn’t understand that as expressing the fair desire to feel like a man, but as demanding confirmation from others.

    Regarding the inclusion, I think you’re right and I am just too toxic myself and too pessimistic. I agree that it would be better to create an inclusive environment and try to support everyone and maybe even fix the toxic masculinity in some. This is a complicated task but a worthy one

    It is the logical conclusion of comment

    No, why?

    Trans men are men.

    Yes. And to be men the don’t need to say that. Visibility is another thing, and in that regard one might argue that they need, but I think that increasing trans visibility is not the same as ‘I am man’ statements

    Edit:

    a trans man have every right to want to feel like a man but a cis man doesn’t

    To this I would also say ‘No’, but I’m starting to guess, we have a very different views on what it is to ‘feel like a man’
