"Women have to be beaten from time to time" was the first time that society challenged me to be part of it or not. I hesitated, remained silent for a moment and said: "I do not think you have to hit them" yes, I know it was a weak response, and I could have said better phrases but I felt compelled, judged.

I already said in previous posts that society reminds us again and again that we have to stick to what is already imposed and that if you do not do it, it will crush you and destroy you. Although that is not entirely true, if you persist, society will yield and you will have a valid place in it.

It is not a secret that within the LGBT community there is male chauvinism, but perhaps it is not known that within the community of transsexual men male chauvinist is stronger than you think. During the transition it would seem that we entered a machine being innocent boys asking for acceptance and a fairer world and we would leave being a Cro-Magnon with a mallet in hand and retro ideas.

I have known transgender men who beat their partners, who are homophobic, who are transphobic, who do not have children because they believe that they themselves are a bad example. So, yes, as a community we have a problem that we must solve.

Why is it always like this?

Is it so easy? For some if not for others, from my experience what you feel when someone says a phrase like the beginning of the post, is fear, an irrational fear of not being recognized as a man, or being recognized as a gay man and that all Physical transition effort will not be worth it and then we think that the easiest way out is to pretend that we agree, and with that small decision, you start to become the chroma of the machine.

Do you know the movie Stepford Wifes? Nikole Kidman's movie? Where did women become housewives of exemplary homes? Well that's exactly what I mean but in men, like the second part of Stepford Wifes, the Stepford Husbands

But for better or worse society challenges you again and again, with phrases like: "gays are effeminate", "trans women are all prostitutes", "the LGBT community is promiscuous", "AIDS affects only men gays "and any ignorant phrase you have heard before and you have infinite possibilities of changing to the machine and maybe in a future the machine does not change innocent boys by prejudiced men but innocent boys by free men who own their gender identity.

Not only trans men, not only the LGBT community are the only ones who can change the machine, we can all change it and make a more inclusive world. Let's be the ones who change the machine.

See you in the next post!
