Trans men are men.

    What makes us men any more than being beings with arbitrary shapes? I’m using arbitrary in the literal sense of “decided by individuals without regards to external factors”.

    I’m not a man. I’m me, and I happen to be in this body. All these words are just ways other people are labeling me so they can decide how I’m to be treated. Putting a label on a person is no different than putting a handle on your coffee pot.

              Dude what are you talking about? I can spend a lot of time describing what I do for work, or I can use a label that describes my occupation. It won’t 100% do the job, but will be sufficient most of the time, and if not I can elaborate. How do you even talk to people without using labels, are you happen to be Treebeard or something?
