I wish I lived in the bubble that tumblr users lived in where trans men aren’t bullied and shamed out of being masculine and that trans women aren’t bullied and shamed out of being feminine.
Because the first step that cis people do when they try to shame trans people is that they shame us for things that make us happy. If being masculine makes a trans man happy he will be shamed for it. If being feminine makes a trans man happy he will also be shamed for it. If being feminine makes a trans women happy she will be shamed for it. If being masculine makes a trans women happy she will be shamed for it.
When people say “trans men should be allowed to be masculine without being shamed/trans women should be allowed to be feminine without being shamed” they aren’t saying that them being gender conforming is what is being shamed; they are saying that trans happiness in general is shamed.
A small editing exercise I made as a love letter to TV animation. I hope it's as overwhelming as I intended it to be. Sorry if I didn't get your fave in, I ran out of room faster than I thought!
sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis
