I think a lot of people need to realize that transphobia is more than just misgendering someone. Actively treating them differently from cis people and making 'exceptions' for them is still transphobic.
Left-wing spaces irl: "We are queer&trans inclusive and will respect ur identity :D"
Also Left-wing spaces irl: "Hey, we r making a poster for a girls night event, is it okay if we put you on it? I mean, it's nonbinary incluse and stuff-"
No. I'm not even nonbinary, i am a trans man. Would you ask a cis man to be on a GIRLS night poster??? No. No you wouldn't. So why are you asking me? Just because I'm trans? What fucking difference does that make??? You pretend you aren't transphobic and see me as a man, yet you refuse to treat me like one. And imo, actions say more than empty words do.
For context, the same people also asked me whether i wanted to be part of a women's reading club and a women's self defense course a couple of months ago.
I told them, that asking trans men that is transphobic (bc apparently they asked MULTIPLE TRANS GUYS THIS) and uh they said they did it 'just incase' since 'trans guys are also like minorities and deserve to be uplifted by activities like this!!!' no. Not activities that are made for women.
If you wouldn't invite a cis gay/queer, cis man of color, or a cis disabled man, then don't invite a fucking trans guy. You are being transphobic. Stop it.
Thank fuck they at least invited trans women to these workshops, cause if they didn't i might have punched one of them. Seems like they are only transphobic to trans men apparently???? Fucking hell man.

That sounds a lot like transphobia to me.
Imo, actions say more than empty words do. It's okay to make a mistake, but if u act transphobic and refuse to listen to trans people telling you not to do this because it's transphobic, yet you continue to do it, that's transphobia.
