    And btw you should use trans man instead of transman because the latter implies trans men are somewhat different from “regular” men.

    Can you explain how a space between the words does that?

      When you write “trans man” you’re using trans as an adjective and as a description of a man. When you use “transman” it’s a new noun and this means it’s a different thing other than just “men”.

          This was not about singular or plural it’s about writing “trans man” and “trans men” with a space or not

            I feel like nitpicking things like this is taking away from more important things.

            Like the fact that transmen ARE MEN.

            also way to piss me off. Like are you trolling? Did you miss the context of my original post? You sure glazed over the discrimination I was talking about just to correct me on something that didn’t need to be corrected.

            This really comes off like you’re trying to make this out like I said something I NEVER SAID.

            yes I’m mad. I feel like you’re fucking with me and you better not be. Like do everyone a favor and be honest. Are you really trying to have a good faith discussion about this?

            I deal with enough racism and homophobia in real life. I don’t want to deal with it here too.

              You sure glazed over the discrimination I was talking about

              Because it isn’t as widespread in the LGBT-Community as you pretend. Sure there is transphobia even in queer spaces but

              1. It’s also against trans women
              2. It sure waaaaaaaay less than the hate you get from the general public

              I was talking about just to correct me on something that didn’t need to be corrected.

              That your opinion and most trans people would disagree. And it also was one small point that you wanted to argue about instead of looking it up on the internet.

              I deal with enough racism and homophobia in real life. I don’t want to deal with it here too.

              I guess you’re trolling right now. This was only about transphobia and nothing else
