sometimes I'm like "am I egotistical for wanting to push for transmasc rep and positive masculinity in fiction. am i egotistical for trying to push for more masculine representation in things like fairies. am i egotistical for having so many transmasc characters" but then I'm like well everyone's gotta contribute something right and if I don't do anything about these feelings I guess nobody fucking will so it HAS to be me or someone like me that cares. egotistical or not

#does this make any fucking sense LMAO #like if you dont do anything about the issues you notice than nobody will because they dont even notice the problem to begin with #and sure masculinity has dominated for centuries but i feel like transmasculinity is in a completely different ball park #like something something the male gaze DOMINATING the western movie scene. but gender is more complicated than sex #so the transmasc experience is completely different from a cis guys experience and its not something that ever gets represented #and i think its a valueble perspective to showcase because i think cis men could do well with realizing its okay for them to be vulnerable #like being raised female i wasnt ever told to man up like a cis man mightve been. so theyve got that complex there #and maybe seeing what masculinity COULD be outside of the fucked up society we live in. idk. trans experiences are valueable #to showcase and i think it would help everyone out looking at things differently #dont even get me started on how the tips for passing as a trans guy are 'dont show any emotion' are you fucking serious
