As a trans man, I've been followed into the men's bathroom. I've had coworkers stalk me in the bathroom and report back to my manager. I've been harassed in men's bathrooms. I've been harassed in women's bathrooms (before I came out). I've almost been assaulted in public bathrooms.

"Men's bathrooms aren't policed like women's bathrooms" is straight up a fucking lie. Using the bathroom as a PASSING trans man is unsafe. Can't piss standing up? Ever heard a cis man loudly comment about you pissing sitting down in a public restroom?

Again, bathroom bills may SEEM targeted, but it hurts us all. Trying to force trans men into women's bathrooms, to cut them off from men's restrooms- it does a lot of the same shit it does to trans women.

Except now no one wants to consider this. At most even other trans guys will make the joke "oh so you want a big hairy buff trans man going to the women's shitter?" No. Actually. They WANT more of a reason to beat me into the tile floor. These laws are used to make that easy to sweep under the rug.

Just gonna leave this here..

you actually do need to center all trans voices in feminism, and that includes trans men. if you cannot wrap your head around the fact that trans men belong in feminist movements - without erasing their identity as men - you are part of the problem and you are not an ally to trans people.

Wanted to see if I could accurately draw a Garfield yesterday, and then just kinda kept going. Enjoy my garf crimes.

Putting aside the reasons why James Barry's trans identity is erased, the thing that sickens me the most is the fact that "empowering cis woman" is something people will celebrate more than an empowering trans man. Like, it feels like the attitude is "oh, he was a trans man and not actually a woman? lame :/" we can't even be happy and celebrate the accomplishments of a trans man. A trans man's accomplishments aren't even to be celebrated.

A trans man's accomplishments aren't even celebrated the ways a cis woman's accomplishments are and there is something so, so, so vile about that.

Gay people will be like “this is my comfort show!” And then show you the most emotionally devastating, stress-inducing, tragic piece of media you have ever witnessed

In one of my film classes last semester we had to tell a story in 3 pictures for a mini assignment so my friend and I did this

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

Paint’n studies I did on my Wii U gamepad earlier in the year.

Genre-savvy horror protagonist figures out they're in a slasher movie, simply turns around and leaves; realises too late that they're actually in an artsy character-driven psychological horror film about them slowly being driven mad by existential uncertainty over whether they've successfully escaped the narrative.

it’s crazy how many times I’m like “I don’t feel good” and doctors are like “there is nothing wrong with you actually” and then they get test results back and go “oh fuck. wait a minute. you weren’t lying. this is real not good.”

and I get it, I know an element of medical misogyny plays into because they see me as a woman but I think it’s also because I’m autistic and my reactions are not ‘appropriate’. when I’m in severe pain I’m silent and I’m fidgety. they probably think I’m overstating my symptoms because my affect is flat and I’m not emoting when that is actually a sign I am doing very badly.

when are adults gonna stop with “kids shouldn’t be exposed to [difficult or sensitive topic] until they can understand it” and realize it’s not possible to understand a thing until you encounter it

like okay probably don’t take your toddler to the movies for the first time and choose Violent Bloodbath 4: Everyone Gets Decapitated but putting them in a media bubble that doesn’t let them confront stuff on their own terms and schedule with you there to help process is some lazy bullshit

Also there's some trans guys that identify as lesbian anyways. Y'all claiming we have to detransition "for the ladies" is literally just dumb as fuck

"butbutbut its okay to make jokes about forcing trans men to detransition because its for the lesbians! because lesbians need more women, jokes yk!"

trans men, don't even stand behind me, stand next to me on this one because this ^ ^ bullshit is the stupidest excuse for transandrophobia i've ever seen, and stop fucking using us lesbians as your tool for it.

nice try terf, me and the other lesbians are laughing at you for it. me and the trans men are laughing at you for it.
