I work with a lot of guys into (or adjacent to) the "I'm deeply insecure about myself" part of the manosphere. Testosterone supplements, sildenafil, meat heavy diets, etc.

I usually ignore it, but sometimes they start pushing that stuff or talking down to me about it. The easiest way to shut it down is playing off their insecurities.

"I'm already a man, I don't need gender affirming care." Followed by asking them how their transition into a man is going -- most of them are highly transphobic.

"Why? Mine [dick] works fine, but I'm glad you found something that helps."

"I don't do fad diets."

I mean, it is literally gender affirming care and highlighting that is hilarious, but as a trans person myself, that second part seems unnecessary and a little rude to your trans homies

I worded it badly and did edit my comment.

I'm not trying to demean anyone: I don't think there is anything negative about being trans or transitioning. They know that about me and give me shit about it constantly. The things they say about trans people is horrifying.

So when I gently and supportively ask how theirs is going they really don't like it -- but fuck them, the hypocrites.
