#I really like the word tboy and calling myself a boy in general :(
Text
I always feel like strangely embarrassed when I earnestly like and use and identify with a term other people really seriously hate, like oh no. Am I doing self identification wrong
#I really like the word tboy and calling myself a boy in general :(#it feels right#and it feels almost Bad to see people talk about it like it’s an inherently harmful word just on its own#like idk maybe we can say ‘this word makes me feel infantilized’ like that#instead of implying people that do like it are stupid or naive or just plain wrong?#idk maybe I’m unreasonably defensive#but it just reminds me a lot of being a transmed and having all my friends foam at the mouth about transmascs being called boys#(and calling themselves boys)#using the argument ‘trans men are MEN. do not call ADULT MEN boys EVER >:(((‘#maybe it’s not fun or comfortable for me to identify with being an Adult Masculine Manly Man#maybe I wanna be a boy a bit fucking longer because I didn’t get to be one for over 18 years of my life#(also I’m transage so that’s gotta be part of it too)#idk I’m rambling and I’m not mad at any followers who mentioned feeling disgusted by the word in the poll I reblogged#just voicing my thoughts about the discussion as a whole
