please look into transfeminism. trans men aren't oppressed for being men, they're oppressed for being trans.

Trans men face a specific type of oppression for being trans men. Certain types of men do in fact face oppression that intersects with their manhood. Men of color for example often have specific challenges and dangers specifically because they are men of a specific ethnicity.

There are challenges that trans men experience that trans women don’t experience and vice versa. I’m not trying to erase the experiences of trans women. I do not claim to speak on behalf of them and what they experience. I do however look around me and see my own oppression for what it is. I see the challenges I face that others who are not trans men do not experience in the same way that I do.

Intersectional feminism is supposed to have the nuance within it to look at what we face at where our race, class, gender, and sexuality intersect. Not deny that the intersection we sit at even exists.

I do not try to tell trans women what they are experiencing and I would very much like it if I was afforded the same courtesy. For the most part I find that they do. For the most part I find that transfems and transmascs are excellent allies to each other and some of the best and most impactful friendships of my life have been with transfeminine people who I stood with in solidarity.

However some people, transfem or not, for whatever reason, do not grant me that kindness. They preach to me about what I am experiencing. Were they there with me at the women’s clinic when I was being tested for cancer and nearly turned away because of my gender? I don’t think that they were. Were they there when I was harassed in public at a crowded gas station for using the restroom? I don’t think that they were. Were they there when I was bullimic and trying to starve myself to make my breasts smaller to no avail? I don’t think that they were. I don’t think they’ve lived in my skin and seen how other people treat me and what things they try very hard to put in my head and do to me specifically because I’m transmasc.

I know being a trans woman is hard. I know that they experience things I don’t understand and don’t live through. I also don’t think that experience erases trans men’s particular issues. I’m not even trying to put a name to these issues because trying to do that at all seems to piss people off and I don’t need a name for it for people to recognize that our specific struggles exist.

Your trauma and/or the feelings you have on behalf of others are real and understandable. That doesn’t however justify trying to tell another marginalized group you’re supposed to be on the same side as what they are and are not experiencing.

Frankly instead of fighting about who is oppressed more we should be fighting for our rights and also making out.

shoutout to offputting autistic people

From my perspective, both Aziraphale and Crowley said and did things they shouldn’t have during the final fifteen. Neither is fully to blame (looking at you Aziraphale haters) for how things turned out. The thing is, they’re both victims of a shitty and abusive system, and they’re both hurt. I think they were genuinely dealing with the situation as best they could and as best as they knew how to and it just didn’t work out because of all their unresolved issues.

Ooold Aziraphale animations compilation! I don’t know if I’ll ever finish it someday so I’m just posting it as it is for now!

(I got asked many times if it was AI when I posted it on insta, it is not! Everything was hand drawn in Clip Studio Paint)

Ugh passing is so hard because I dislike most men’s clothing (Except formal wear ily men’s formal wear but I digress) so I dress like a weird little goth freak most of the time. And I’m not on testosterone. So yeah shout out to all my fellow trans men who don’t pass you’re all cool as fuck.

this disability pride month, we have got to remember that no disability makes someone evil

no one is evil, especially not because of a trait they cannot control. we are all just human.

eleven year olds need book series filled to the brim with violence and crime. it's like enrichment for them

i think we should stop calling them baby names so people remember they’re not just naming a baby but also a future twenty seven year old with a resume

your favorite spiders??

Probably wolf spiders. I don’t know that much about them but I think they’re cool and they can grow to be pretty big. Also the mothers will also carry their young around on their back and I think that’s cute.

“june is over so now it’s gay wrath month” blah blah reminder that july is disability pride month and is often ignored and disregarded!! funnel that wrath into advocating for your disabled peers and amplifying their voices
