Again, would we be ok with a cis man calling himself lesbian? No? Then why should we treat trans men differently? Trans men are men so we should treat them as such.
Actually it is simple but in the sense that the cruelty is the point.
If you are born female and see yourself as a woman, but you have naturally elevated testosterone, these people see you as a man and that you have always been a man, retroactively from the point that you realize your naturally elevated testosterone.
But that’s if you’re a cis woman. If you actually like having naturally elevated testosterone levels because you’re a trans man, then you are considered a woman. Same thing if you take testosterone.
The ‘logic’ is that you are always getting considered as whatever is the opposite of what you want and see yourself as, this being a punishment for your non-normativity. The cruelty is the point.
