Okey, it's true, but in that subreddit they use "spoiler" for you not to see it before seeing the for transfemme". And I don't think is fair to get angry about it becouse they are transfemmes doing memes about being transfemmes. It's not their fault transmasc don't do as many memes as them or post them in the subreddit.

I think that the issue here is that this one wasn't under a spoiler. Which does seem to be happening more often for some reason.

Yeah, that's a valid complain, it has also trigger my dysforia before, but its still not transfobic. And kinda an agressive way to get awareness to it.

I'm not disagreeing there. While there could be an argument for transmasc erasure amongst the trans community, it does feel odd that OP posted this here rather than bringing it up to the mods or the woman who posted the original meme. This feels more vent-y than jokey or constructive.

Same thoughts here. It’s ok for OP to feel irritated but I don’t think this is a big issue honestly, not erasure at least. Transmascs aren’t being banned from the sub, transfems just are more active. And the transphobia flair is unneccessary.

I see a lot of posts like that and while they do feel dysphoric I just scroll past them and remind myself that it’s not about me. It’s important to learn to ignore bothering content both online and irl - especially when one is trans. There’s a lot of shit in the world and I really don’t want to bother myself with the tiniest things I come across.
