#Trans Men

[genderqueerdykes]

it kills me how much people love to speculate on the trans male experience. transphobes and even other trans people will conjure up ideas of what it must be like for us to live, how hormones affect us, and especially what society treats us like. they love to tell us how we live our lives; strawman after strawman about fictional trans men who started hormones and became "evil and ugly", completely fabricated stories about about how every trans man they know suddenly "gained male privilege" and never deal with misogyny or transandrophobia.

people who tell you how your transmasculine experience will go have no idea what they are talking about. even if they sound confident, they are not correct- each and every transmasculine person has a different experience in life- we do not automatically gain the societal privilege of cishet white men once we decide to socially transition. they cannot see what your future holds. you don't deserve to have someone telling you how you will experience your own life, it is yours, you are allowed to live your truth, pave your own way and prove that we have varied lives that transcend what transphobes think the trans male experience is.

the tiniest preview of my (reworked!) comic for Shortbox Comic Fair, coming in autumn.

a trans life shaped by power, escape, love, grief. a story can change, restart. memory is the past we're allowed/forced to keep. so: is this a story, or time itself? a choice made for the first time is only made once.

I stay saying this but you canNOT give lgbt criteria based on 'coolness' instead of actually not being cis and straight because this is faggotry,not middle school.I'd rather fw Bluey adults who identify as micro-identities and girlbloggers than any nigga who thinks Rocky Horror Picture Show and Silence of the Lambs are important parts of queer history because the transmisogyny was a part of their times and that being black inherently means you're secretly homophobic even if you don't mean it

additional comment from the submitter: ❝I'd also like to emphasize that this is trans men. This doesn't mean he/him lesbians or transmascs who don't identify fully as men.❞

"ew men" to trans mlm pipeline

sometimes i am not as careful as i should be, considering that i am not even 2 years into a gender transition and am fairly androgynous and openly gay

today i was walking my friend home late at night so i knew she got home safe, and she happens to live next to a frat house. there was a party going on as i dropped her off, and the guys started yelling at the two of us. we both yelled back because we are assertive and happy to confront idiots, but we both couldve gotten hurt or attacked or something, and that’s a little scary.

it’s always wild to me seeing how i am perceived by people around me while being openly trans and gay because i really never know what someone is going to say or do. i live in an area with people who are generally supportive and very kind, but being in college means you end up surrounded by people who can have very differing views on anything and everything.

im not sure i really had a point to this story/rant other than telling my fellow trans people to still be safe. keep yourselves and your friends safe, and please be smart about who you choose to confront. i was okay tonight, but i very easily couldve not been

Found this in the comments of Shaun's latest video on Andrew Tate, in which he talks pretty extensively about how important it is for men to find ways to be confident in their genders without trying to adhere to, or enforce, anyone else's ideas of manhood on anyone.

Highly recommend checking it out.

Anyway. I rarely see folks talk about the positive impact transmascs have on manhood as a whole, and I think it's important to acknowledge and celebrate that.

"i respect trans people" do you?

do you respect trans people who look like their agab, whether they want to or not?

do you respect transfems with body/facial hair? transfems who don't wear makeup or dresses or skirts? transfems with low voices? transfems with short hair?

and do you respect transmascs who don't bind? transmascs who wear makeup or dresses or skirts? transmascs with high voices? transmascs with long hair?

do you respect trans people who don't "pass"?
