seeing people on the internet hate on transmascs in such a specific way that i can tell they're just doing it like "i hate this cringe little blue haired woke weird girl who smells bad and makes me look cringe and fake. no one will ever fuck her. because i see transmascs as annoying women who want to be special and it's so embarrassing for them" bonus points if its from a another transmasc who passes and is embarrassed of everyone else

Oh boy do I really want to chime in but I won't.

I dunno if you ever explained this, but why "its" as a prnonun? I have friends on mine who use it, so I am curious about you?

So I consider myself a binary trans guy but I'm a very queer binary trans guy. I'm a Goth, and I dress in the look. I do drag occasionally. I like my hair longish and I paint my nails black and while I feel quite masc, my presentation is conventionally very androgynous.

I used to use Hey/They but a lot of the LGBT people I hung out with were women. (Cis and trans.) I noticed people would use they almost exclusively. I confronted one of them about it and they said that they're not used to being around guys so calling someone he and using male pronouns feels unnatural so she preferred to call me they/them. That's when I put my foot down. He/Him only. You don't get to pick my gender based on what makes you comfortable.

But, I revisited this a lot. A pronoun that is neither male nor female is something that I don't mind, but they is honestly just considered Woman+ to most people even in the LGBT community and that didn't vibe with me. I also don't really understand neopronouns, so while those might be good for some people, it felt unnatural to me and my identity. So I started trying out its pronouns. It felt more rebellious, and instead of being something in between male and female, which I don't feel like, it's outside of that. So when I do have more overtly queer presentation, that's what I prefer to use!

To me its very "yeah you can use a gender neutral pronoun for me but it's not going to be for your benefit." It's not meant to be easy or for the comfort of others." It's for me. :) It's neutral while not being neutral.

Also I've always had gremlin energy so it fits in that way too. I'm just a little guy, except when I'm a little creature.

I think when people say “trans men only experience misogyny when they’re viewed as women, which means they’re only oppressed because women are oppressed and not because trans men are oppressed” they forget that while misogyny does apply to us, female empowerment does not. We do not get the ability to talk about our bodies and our experiences in female-only spaces without being misgendered or dismissed, and we don’t get to reclaim womanhood when womanhood looks completely different for us. We have to experience misogyny while not getting any respite from feminist spaces, because they don’t make any effort to include us. That’s the difference between misogyny that cis women experience, and misogyny that trans men experience. We get all of the shit and none of the sisterhood.

✨Helpful tips for cis allies getting involved in intra-community trans discourse✨

Don’t

Do not do it

Stay in your lane

Shut the fuck up

I don’t care what your trans friend said

I don’t care which direction your trans friend who said you can is transitioning in

Ask yourself: given that this does not affect you and the people it does affect are doing just fine talking about it without you, what do you have to contribute?

Be wary of other cis people who try to get involved; a lot of cis people do this because they want to see which trans people they can be transphobic towards and still count as allies

If you suspect your cis friend is getting involved in order to see which trans people they can be transphobic towards and still call themselves a cis ally, the most trans supportive thing you could possibly do is shut that shit down immediately

There are enough problems facing trans people in the world right now, including where you live, that you have so many options for more productive and helpful things you could do to support trans people. This is not one of them.

Hope this helps ☺️

I'm really sorry trans masc tumblr but I think the pocket deerboy bullshit might be my fault.

As someone who didn't have the balls to finish Homestuck, I wanna ask is the ending truly as disappointing as the fandom says?

Yes. Very obviously was Hussie being "ok I'm done with this. Here. Leave me alone now."

did you ever take any classpect quizzes? I had an old friend if mine back in highschool give me one that was like absurdly complicated and involved actual personality quizzes before getting to the classpect determination.

I believe I got Heir of Space.

Had a bunch of technical difficulties on Sunday for my art stream but here's some of the stuff I drew!

Alright former Homestuck fan I got a question for you. What do you think of Vriska?

over utilized I think but I like her and think shes interesting.

[crimsonender]

How would you fix Homestuck?

Commit to the idea instead of giving up before the final act. Not hating the audience. Not giving it over to a bunch of hacks to clean up the mess you made because you were too lazy to finish the story and tie up all the plots neatly. Stop being so afraid of being cringe that you need to put a little ironic hat on everything whimsical and compelling. I could go on.
