The widespread opposition to transfeminism by trans men specifically is to me one of the biggest vindications of transfeminism and of the fact that trans women are women, and trans men are men. Even while being trans, trans men are men and act according with regards to benefitting from patriarchy, and on top of being trans, trans women are on the recieveing end of that oppression on account of being women. No difference from the common retort from like 10 years ago (and more) some men levied; "I'm not a feminist, I'm pro-equality".

sorry but i had to go off: transfeminine jesse forces audiences to ask: "what if the entire show is about a girl who never got to be one?" ehich is a far more challenging question than "what if jesse is a trans man?"- because it reframes Everything, from walt’s abuse to jesse’s suffering, as part of a systematic denial of her true self. a lot of the transmasc jesse discourse comes from a place of sympathetic but still cis-normative projection. he’s read as a "soft uwu boy" rather than a girl forced into boyhood. transfeminine readings forces ppl to confront the horror of being molded into something you’re not, which is much more discomforting.
the "Softboi to Man" archetype is a more familiar story. fragile men learning to be Real Men™ are culturally legible in a way that "men realizing they were never men at all" still isn't. transmasculine readings slot neatly into existing coming-of-age tropes, while the transfeminine one Subverts them violently and That is exactly why it’s so much more powerful!!

how transfems talk about their fav characters
this is how we talk about lenin and stalin
when i say "girl" it's not gender neutral, it's because everyone is a girl to me and I'm maliciously misgendering you to fit you into my vision of the ideal world
it always seems as though whenever i talk about the political content/context/etc of art i am relentlessly met with 'wow, so you just want all art to be politically pure and correct' by people who, themselves, clearly want that, as evidenced by their extremely aggressive reaction to the suggestion that whatever cultural product they like is not uniquely and flawlessly 'anticapitalist'/whatever other watchword by which we might understand 'politically, spiritually edifying, virtuous to experience'
