i agree that trans liberation is tied to liberation for all. but trans people's oppression is NOT rooted in some toxic ideas about cis men. it IS rooted in transmisogyny and anti-transmasculinity. trans people are seen as predators specifically due to transmisogyny and anti-transmasculinity, because transness is viewed as predatory, not because of some notion that all cis men are seen inherently as sexual predators. if it were the case that all cis men were treated as inherent sexual predators, we would not be living under patriarchy, and there would be mass movements to kill cis men and cis masculinity, to enforce and maintain law that strip the rights of cis men, to curtail cis men's involvement in all economic, social, political spheres of life. that is clearly not the case. the root of trans oppression is related to transmisogyny and anti-transmasculinity, NOT distrust of cis men.

@MusketeerX I also love it when you have an artist you love listening too, but haven't listened to a particular song in years. And when you listen to it, you maybe remember why the artist is so dear to you.
i would also argue that is deeply harmful and misguided to attribute trans people's oppression to the notion that society deems men as inherently toxic. i suggest further engagement with transfeminist literature to better understand the structures that maintain trans people's oppression.
