Men deal with a variety of bullshit, women deal with a variety of bullshit, cis, trans, genderqueer, white, black, red, blue, we all deal with a variety of bullshit.

Did we, humans, create the variety of bullshit that individuals experience on a day-to-day basis? Sure, pretty much everything that we regularly complain about are human constructions.

Life isn't fair, cis men may be oppressed but they are by no means more oppressed than trans people. I can't think of a single piece of legislation that oppresses my ability, as a man, to be interested in and pursue a legally binding union with women.

I can count, on one hand, the number of days it has been since a representative suggested that we do not allow non-cis marriages, adoption of children by non-cis married couples, and even the last time someone said they ought to be killed!

Nobody worth worrying about has even dared suggest that we do that to cis men/women.

Bro needs to see some real oppression.
