“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

I'm a big scary trans man, I do big scary trans man stuff like:

Almost piss myself in public because I stood for too long questioning if it's safer to go into the men's or women's bathroom because I may or may not be attacked verbally or physically in either and called a predator or creep because I needed to pee

I think a lot of hate towards transmascs for speaking about their experiences come from a place of misinformation and unwillingness to listen

I see so much of “Transandrophobia is about reinforcing the patriarchy” and “Transandrophobia is the belief that trans women oppress trans men!” when all of that is just simply not true

It doesn’t take much to actually look at posts in the Transandrophobia tag to see that, no, we do not thinks trans women oppress us and, no, we are not supporting the patriarchy , or whatever lie people have come to believe, and yeah some people in the tag are shitty to transfems, but that’s not everyone and that it not what we are trying to talk about. There are shitty people in every community unfortunately

If maybe people stopped taking other people speaking as a threat to them and actually took a moment to listen, instead of just jumping to conclusions, it would be a lot easier to see that the whole concept of Transandrophobia/trans misandry/ whatever you want to call it is actually just transmascs talking about their experiences.

Someone said, accurately, regarding how people treat trans men:

Shoutout to all my transmasc bros who don't want to start testosterone out of fear of looking like your father

No one gets Yamato like I do

Because if binders on me are basically just like sports bras, and I have the voice of a mousy pip-squeak, I need to at least respect myself when no one else takes me seriously.

It's 100/10 experience being transgender together with your best friend.

I can’t believe I never posted this tapestry I made

(no I didn’t block it okay)

Men with PCOS have it rough, it's hard out here for us dudes who want to but literally cannot go into any PCOS support group and feel safe or welcome to talk about our experiences.

What's a good gender neutral term for feminine hygiene products?

I WAS BORN A BOY

I WILL DIE A MAN

NOTHING WILL CHANGE THAT FACT

NOT THAT I HAVE THE PARTS OF A WOMAN

NOT THAT I AM CURVY

NOT THAT I SOUND LIKE A GIRL

NOT THAT I LIKE MAKEUP

NOT THAT I HAVE A PERIOD

NOT THAT I LIKE BRIGHT COLORS

NOT THAT I HAVE DYED HAIR

I AM A MAN AND I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT IT

so incredibly sleepy. But. Ftm reader (Highschool au) with unsupportive parents x Simon (theater/theatre au as well)

A Panic/Anxiety attack will be described, so will transphobia and very uncomfortable sensations. Self misgendering, as well. (This is targeted towards myself!) If that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to click the back button.

Angst that turns into fluff

Agluff!

You had bought a binder without your parent’s permission, and had been keeping it in the dressing room for the show. It was opening night, and you were playing a male character. Nothing could go wrong. You felt the adrenaline pumping, you were shaking out of excitement, then you remembered, your parents would be in the crowd that night.

Your chest starts heaving. Your vision blurs after it darts around. You land on the ground, backing into a set piece and hiding behind it. The happy shaking turns to terror induced shaking.

Your director yells out “5 minutes before show people!” Before noticing you. Oh Ms. Emily. She was so incredibly supportive. She gasps as she notices you, since you startled her with your heavy breathing.

She shuffles out onto stage, taking center and facing the audience.

“We have a small problem backstage. The show will be held back a few minutes, I am very sorry for this inconvenience.”

SMALL????

This was not small. Your world was closing in on you. It felt like Jell-O or Oobleck was being poured over you, or you were being cemented into a wall against your will. The binder only made it worse. It tightened around your armpits and sucked in your chest, which made the caving feeling worse. You fiddled with your costume before throwing off the excess pieces.

You barely notice the tall stature coming into view before you’re pulled out of deep water by two costumed hands.

“Hey, hey, im here, it’s me. It’s Simon. What’s wrong, can you say it or is it too much to talk about?” He gently utters, kneeling closer to you.

You barely babble out, “‘s too much..” Before your vision starts to go in and out. He notices. You’re swaying too much for it to be your normal rocking. He latches his hands onto you and pulls you into his chest, like a life raft after drowning at sea for centuries.

“I’m right here. It’s okay. Your parents won’t even notice. You can tell them that it was a casting issue, and you were just cast because of how they liked your auditions performance, alright?” He whispers, rubbing your back very gently.

“I gotcha. I gotcha.” He mutters, holding you closer to him. It feels like this hold is meant for a wounded dog, not a 17 year old gir-boy.

He cups your face like he would a wounded pigeon. He’s got eyeliner on. Specifically on his waterline. His cheeks are dusted with powdered blush. His arms are covered in black cloth, specifically for his role as a Crow. The entire show was written by you, only taken up by Ms. Emily and practically blocked by you in its entirety. You played Satans Cat. (Two little city animals who are a contrast difference to eachother go on a journey that changed them forever, or smth. Idk. Sleepy.) He wore big wings with straps on his thumbs to keep in place. You wore cat ears and a tail. You felt so good in your costume. You had many costume pieces to hide your chest, and you just looked so boyish all around.

“You alright now?” He asks, tone in his voice evident he’s trying to hide the fact he noticed you glancing for a prolonged period of time.

“Yea. I’ve got some time..I’ll go splash my face with water.”

“You’ll be alright, Felid.”

“That I will be, Corvus.”

————————————————————————————

very sleepy atm. I’m projecting as well. Felid comes ffrom the name for cat in fancy. Look up cat. And for “Corvus” look up Crow. I don’t got time to explain it.

Cramps kicking me in my stomach ballsack. This some bullshit.

Yall……I got a bonus from work so I decided to buy a realistic STP prosthetic. It was like almost $250 but I really really hope it’s worth it. I didn’t wanna spend less money on a shitty stp that I wouldn’t even end up wearing so I figured I might as well spend the money on something nice that I hope will be gender affirming. It’s been bothering me a lot lately that something is missing “down there” and also just the general annoyance of always having to sit to pee in a public place (men’s toilets are always fucking disgusting and there’s only ever one or two stalls, if they’re open). I am so hopeful it will turn out to be a good decision. I purchased from a company in the UK called MorMe and I will definitely be sharing a review once I receive my little friend.
