how would they treat a transfem lesbian who decides to wear facial hair, i wonder?

the butch on my tiktok fyp who's had top surgery and is on t and has the most dapper facial hair ive ever seen is more powerful than any of the people in their comments who are sooooo mad at the thought of a lesbian with facial hair

First person to ever be called a lesbian was a man. Reports indicate radfems are malding as we speak.

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

go!

one "compliment" that women give us trans men that i actually really hate is any variation of "i would've felt uncomfortable seeing you at night". yes i understand that they imply that we pass as cis and cis men are uncomfortable to be around at night. no i still don't like that as a marginalized group of men we're called predatory. i especially don't like it as a trans man of color and i think it's especially odd when it's directed towards another trans man of color/a Black trans man. call me too woke if you have to but there are better ways to be supportive of our manliness without implying that you'd view us as predatory.

masculinity can be queer. masculinity can be empowering. masculinity can be protective. masculinity can be soft. masculinity can be performance. masculinity can be joyful. masculinity can be bright. masculinity can be nonconforming. masculinity can be creative. masculinity can be anything.

Having a really long-term hyperfixation that has since faded is terrifying yes but it's also so embarrassing. Hi I used to think about Scrimblo Splungus 25/7. Yeah, for 2 years straight. Nah, I don't think about them anymore except for with a vague sense of melancholy as I recall how they used to make me feel. Anyways this new one, Blimpkins McGee? I'm gonna think about them forever and the cycle will NOT repeat in 2 years. Trust me guys.

ooh id like a mini-review of brilliant imperfection pls ฅ⁠^⁠•⁠ﻌ⁠•⁠^⁠ฅ

In Brilliant Imperfection Eli Clare uses memoir, history, and critical analysis to explore cure—the deeply held belief that body-minds considered broken need to be fixed.  The stories he tells range widely, stretching from disability stereotypes to weight loss surgery, gender transition to skin lightening creams. At each turn, Clare weaves race, disability, sexuality, class, and gender together, insisting on the nonnegotiable value of body-mind difference. Into this mix, he adds environmental politics, thinking about ecosystem loss and restoration as a way of delving more deeply into cure.

this was a recommendation from a dear friend, and i'm really glad i was able to pick this up and give it a read. the author is significantly more disabled than i am, and this was a really eyeopening and moving read. eli has a gorgeous writing style, and there are beautiful descriptions and short poems throughout the book. it really draws you in.

something i really appreciated was eli's refusal to give "the answer" to questions he raises throughout the book. i struggle sometimes, when the author clearly hasn't resolved something for themselves. i find myself looking for "this is what i believe and this is what my opinions are and this is what i think is the correct answer to the questions i am asking." so eli clare going "this is what i believe. and here are some things OTHER people believe, that are ALSO true, but are in conflict with what i believe, and they're not wrong, i just need to take space and sit with that for a while" felt... kind of revolutionary for me?

very very good read, definitely recommend. it's heavy in parts, and talks about abuse, psych violence, non-consensual medical experimentation, and the racist history of the medical establishment, and i had to take breaks to kind of sit and think through what i'd just read sometimes, but i really enjoyed it.

books ive read in the past couple weeks

re-dressing america's frontier past, sex changes: the politics of transgenderism, dirty pictures, and american crusade were probably my favorites. hard men and boy in the middle were leather s&m erotica. brilliant imperfection was a really good book about disability and cure and queerness.

if you want a mini review of any of these send me an ask btw id be happy to tell u my thoughts on em

idk man i just think it's weird to go "this person who (to my knowledge has never talked about being anything other than a dude) has talked abt crossdressing and wearing thongs but PEOPLE STILL THINK HES A MALE" like. ok? has he said anything that contradicts that?

[freakqueer]

wearing dresses doesn't inherently make you a woman and it's weird and regressive to insist it does, honestly? tell that to the multitudes of gay men who delight in drag, the trans men who love dressing fem, the cisgender heterosexual crossdressers who love dressing up in the bedroom.

"x celebrity has talked about crossdressing before" means "x celebrity enjoys crossdressing", not "therefore x celebrity cannot be male and its transphobic to point out that he's never identified himself as anything other than male"
