i remember when mdzs first came out and i didn't know shit about the genre yet, so my friend and i found it in a bookstore and she went "grandmaster of demonic cultivation???? what is 'cultivation'. google says it's practicing agriculture. how can you do that demonically." and i was like "farming evilly and deviously......"

anyways this exchange became ten times funnier when i read mdzs years later and got to the part where everyone thinks wei wuxian is establishing a horrible evil demonic sect with the wen remnants but he's actually just trying to farm so they don't starve. doing some straight up evil and demonic and devious farming.

I want someone who seriously thinks that transmascs co-opted the blahaj from transwomen, to explain to me why it's a bad thing for transmascs to also be able to find comfort in a beautiful stuffed shark.

WHY IS IT A BAD THING TUMBLR! WHY! I'M A TRANSWOMAN TELL ME WHY!

I think it's funny how I reblogged a post from a previous person who reblogged it, who constantly posts about transphobia against transmascs not being real, and then got blocked within seconds.

It's about what I expected but I still find it funny.

I followed her posts for a while as I increasingly noticed more and more her posting about how transfem folks experience more transphobia than transmascs could imagine. Even just scrolling through the blog for a few minutes beforehand I saw multiple posts outright saying that transphobia against transmascs isn't real. Which it's laughable to me how untrue that is and goes to show how self-centred someone can be.

I am a trans woman, and I have tons of trans friends, both transfem and transmasc. Everyone has experienced transphobia.

Transfem people experience it in a different way, but transmasc people are still experiencing it in their own different way.

My partner is on the transmasc spectrum and frankly it disgusts me for people to say that they couldn't experience transphobia when I have seen it happen. I have seen my transmasc friends experience transphobia just as much as my transfem friends. In a lot of ways it can come up the same, and in a lot of ways it's different. But it's there.

Sure transmisogyny is an issue, but it's not the only issue in the way i've been seeing it made out to be recently.

We are not the centre of the universe.

We are not the only people who can experience transphobia.

To suggest that we are, is its own form of transphobia and self-centred-ness i can't even begin to describe.

Recently as I scroll through tumblr I've been seeing more and more transphobia against transmascs lampshaded behind saying that they're co-opting transfemme culture or trying to say that transmascs don't experience transphobia at all compared to transfems, something that is blatantly untrue.

To be quite honest I think this post is one that's trying to put trans women on a pedestal above other trans folks. Which, even if we do have unique issues, so do transmascs and transmen? we're not above them and I think it's untrue to say that they are co-opting our culture.

To be fair I'm not a huge fan of blahaj's having an association with femboys but I think that's still a related field to the trans-sphere. While Blahaj's were originally a symbol of transfeminism, why is it such a bad thing for transmascs to get to enjoy them too?

Furthermore, never in my entire life have I ever heard the term t4t to only refer to transwomen, in fact when i originally heard the phrase it was always in relation to transfem 4 transmasc and then more broadly i saw it's use more across the spectrum. Once again, what really is the issue with this term becoming more generalised for transpeople across the entire spectrum of gender to enjoy? Why do we segregate ourselves and try to put ourselves into castes of transfem and transmasc?

Sure a transmasc person and a transfem person will have a lot of different experiences, but are we not all partaking in the same experience to remake ourselves the way that we want to be?

Why are we segregating ourselves and trying to make transmascs the strawman?

I'm gonna be real for a second: the blahaj is actually a perfect entry level to the concept of transfeminine culture being co-opted. A large portion of queer people online know about the memes of transfems and their blahajs. The blahaj is something that, on a surface level, could be seen as transfeminine culture and "aesthetic". This of course means it gets co-opted, as we can see with "femboy" culture and with transmascs. Now the former is far more heavily reliant on the co-opting of transfeminine culture and "aesthetic", but a quick history of force masc, with its origins being from a butch transfem to the generic posts in the tag today shows that decent chunks of transmasculine culture are co-opted from transfeminine culture. Autoandrophilia (aping of a medical diagnosis that was used to pathologize transfemininity, yipes!), T4T (no longer just meaning transfem 4 transfem) , trans lesbian (transmasc lesbian exists as a word that can be used!), transandrophobia (Reactionary anti-transfeminism to the term transmisogyny), and more!

Light answers a tough question

[dracyab]

I get to be more free as an adult than I ever did as a child and I think more kids need to know that. as a high schooler part of what made my depression so bad was being told over and over again that it was the most carefree time of my life. while I was trapped in an abusive home + amongst bullies at school + in a body that wasn’t right for me. opportunities to be carefree don’t end when you turn 18. you can be more you than ever as an adult and that’s such a gift. I know ‘it can get better’ is an annoying thing to see over and over when you’re as trapped as I was back then. and I know that if you’re still a kid you deserve to be free right this second. but it can and will get better and this is not where life stops being interesting. promise

That's valid, you're fine!

Reminds me of when Bobby Breed recommended his favourite saying "look for the bottle at Kroger that looks like hand sanitiser but don't worry it won't taste like it!" and then it tasted like hand sanitiser. Anyway yeah BBQ sauce isn't for everyone.

what's your favourite brand of BBQ sauce?

:( None of them, I can't stand the taste of it. Deepest apologies
