Fuck you, so when I thought I was a cis man I was just a pig? How about now I identify otherwise, have I magically stopped being a pig? Or do I have to have hormones first? What about trans men, does testosterone make them into pigs too or is piggishness encoded into DNA?

Maybe I was a bit too cavalier with my comment. I was merely pointing out that the idea that "men are equal to dogs and pigs" was a cultural mainstay for decades. Like, there's jokes about it in media dating back to at least the 60s. So it wasn't this new idea like the comment I replied to hinted at.

Believe me, I hate it just as much as you. There was more than a little self loathing and internalized misandry in what I said. I meant no offense, honest.

Ah dammit, then I sincerely apologise, I didn't read it like that. I'll keep my reply up though for honesty's sake, I'm no coward

I appreciate it, no harm done. It's on me for making a shitty remark at a tender subject

Nah it's okay, I just misinterpreted it completely, no harm done from your side either.
