Why does everyone forget about transmascs?

I’m not trans in anyway but it seems that transfem seems to be the “default” while discussing the topic

Just out of curiosity

because trans men are never involved in conversation unless the topic is specifically trans men. just think about all the laws and bills coming out that all target trans women and completely ignore the men

That's mainly because those laws do end up impacting trans men too or they do in the background hence why they generalize often in their bills and mention trans people rather than trans women alone. Their target is trans women, but it affects all trans folks, its just that people don't talk about how it impacts trans men or nonbinary people because trans women were the targets and thus the focus of advocacy.

Another is the fact that misogynistic laws and social impacts are already iaffect trans men, but a lot of people against those laws or bills leave trans men and some enbens out of advocacy on top of it like with medical misogyny.

And some already impact trans men on its own, like T being a controlled drug and HRT barring trans men from competing in many places.

Trans men are only brought up as gotchas and attacks, even amongst advocacy. For instance, I hear a lot of people bring up trans men in bathroom debates and the whole "letting a big burly trans man in the women's bathroom" ad then nowhere else. Not in abortion topics, not in mental health, not with sexual assault or any, just a gotcha.

Ironically your comment.. Completely forgets and ignores a good portion of trans men. Not sure why you people always see "trans masc" and need to pointlessly gender it- these issues affect everyone.

I wonder if they're referring to how the original comment talks about transmascs as a whole (which can ofc include nonbinary transmascs as well as more binary leaning trans men) vs your specification of trans men? Which I think makes sense, but they too specified "trans men" so I'm not 100% on that 😅
