hey! i don’t mean to come off as dismissive or anything but your posts are seriously harmful to transmascs like me,, like its just that when i read the text you wrote i cant help but hear it in a deep booming amab voice talking down at me from a whole foot above which can be triggering for afabs like me who have dealt with lots of amab trauma that turned us towards amabphobia (again nothing personal!it’s just my preference and if you like amabs that’s cool and valid too!<3).

us afabs are biologically socialised to communicate through soft whispers and chirps only and our small ears are much more sensitive and unfit to reading posts potentially made by an amab. writing posts that afabs have to read can seriously damage our eardrums, putting us in potential danger. one of my transmasc friends is permanently deaf on one ear after reading a long text post by an amab, she couldn’t even stop herself from reading as she’s been socialized to pay attention to every amab-written word 💔

sooo unfortunately reading posts and comments by amabs is extremely harmful to us, this is why we want to keep our spaces afab only! hope u understand 🫶
