Trans Stuff - Tumblr Posts
Have you considered than trans woman aren’t the only trans people? And that GNC people exist? By your logic all drag queens are trans women, something that is not reflective of reality.
The expression of one’s gender does not need to match it, and it’s not an insult to binary trans people to say so.
that reddit brand transfem stuff is so damn suffocating for a new trans girl. you do not have to be a skinny egirl to be pretty. you don't have to have a body that looks like a cis woman's and striving toward that will make you miserable. there are so many fun ways to be a girl you really shouldn't limit yourself
Aggressive pride flags will always be my fav <3
Sleepy While Binding
Just curious, but does anyone else get sleepy while binding or more tired than usual? I've been binding since 8 and get off at 5, and google doesn't really say anything about this. Should this be alarming or a sign, or just a coincidence from sitting at a desk all day? First Time binding as well. Maybe just my body getting used to it..?

This book came out in 1996. Some of you reading this are probably younger than that. If anyone tells you that "all this gender stuff" is new, they can fuck right off.
my apologies if this has already been posted here but im sharing this. here is what someone said on twitter along w this image:
the central image text reads: “@everyone I HAVE BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED GUARDIAN JOURNALISTS ARE SNOOPING AROUND ASKING FOR TRANS PEOPLE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT DIY HRT. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY LOOKING FOR UNDER-18S DOING DIY. SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE SAID, BUT DO. NOT. ENGAGE. SPREAD WIDELY. DO NOT ENGAGE. WE NEED THIS NOTICE SPREAD OUT VIA EVERY GRASSROOTS SUPPORT GROUP AND SOCIAL CIRCLE IN THE COUNTRY.
URGENT. IF THEY GET EVEN ONE TO TAKE PART IT BECOMES A NATIONAL CONVERSATION. TOP ALERT.
Guardian journos are apparently asking trans people about DIY. Trans followers: DO NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THEM. NOT A WORD.
I also know I’ve got cis mutuals who have written for the Guardian. Please know I’ve always thought less of you because of that.

the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.

I’m kind of used to the concept that I missed my entire childhood due to trauma. And I still have a really hard time with grieving that sometimes.
But something that I didn’t expect, was, as a trans person, to mourn the boyhood I never got to have.
Even if I had lived a good life in a good home, I was never going to be seen as a boy growing up. I was never going to get that experience that I wanted so badly. That I existed alongside the idea of for so long, alienated as I was from the girls as well. But that felt different, because never craved a girlhood.
I don’t know why I have the capacity to miss something that I never got. It’s been weighing on my mind a lot recently.
Probably because I’ve been reading some fics involving characters in a late highschool setting. Characters doing normal teen boy things, even if they had a bad home life.
And as a gay trans guy, I’m never going to get to experience cis gayness.
The relaxed certainty that a partner sees you as a man too. The lack of shame about my parts, the aching dysphoria in the back of my mind even when I’m intimately with someone I know sees me as a man. The feel of my own body crushing me out of an otherwise good experience. My body screams woman.
Even if I fully transition, get every surgery, not even taking into account if I want all that or not— there will always be signs of my birth sex. I will always have scars. And everyone would know.
And as soon as someone saw them, it would recontextualize their experience knowing me. Trying to imagine me as a woman, what I used to look like, when I desperately don’t want them to.
Sometimes I feel like I’ll never be a real man. Sometimes it doesn’t feel worth it to try to be out at all. Sometimes I want to give up and just hide forever.
genuinely this website is horrible. every few days they totally nuke another random popular trans girl who has never ever broken a rule, and everybody but trans girls shut up about it and forgets immediately. like HELLO???? Charlottan was banned for literally NO REASON why am i not seeing hammer car explosion 2??? why are the majority of TME people just ignoring that trans girls are absolutely being specifically targeted for removal with no excuse??? does nobody else care any more????
tried to vent in a trans space about how, as a trans man who’s been on T for a long time (over 7 years now), i have noticed that the more i pass as a man, the less welcomed i am in queer spaces unless i go out of my way to feminize myself. and how that sucks! and it’s isolating!!! and it feels horrible to see ppl who used to like you and be close to you drift further and further the more masculine (& therefore more comfortable in urself) u become…
only to get ppl replying to me and saying “well if you dressed more fem then ppl wouldn’t be intimidated by you. you signed up for this”
i’m sorry but i didnt sign up for social isolation when i transitioned, i signed up for gender euphoria and comfort in myself and my life. and i had hoped that the ppl in my life would be able to see how much joy that brings me and continue to love me.
sorry i will never understand cis grief. your daughter is living her best life and going around with friends and feeling like a human being. your son doesn’t feel like he needs to crawl out of his skin anymore and can actually smile. your children are happy and no longer see their existence as the worst thing in the world. why are you grieving this lmao. grow up.
Uhhh commissions sheet yada yada yada. Please.
honestly it also feels bad for me because I KNOW that when they say it they don't include me in this group
like I'm not mad that my friends don't hate me, it's just strange and pretty dysphoric to know that they say they accept and respect my identity but then talk to me abt how awful men are like I'm one of THEM and not the group they're currently hating on (talking abt my female friends in particular)
it's wrong on so many levels cuz yeah I'm one of them but as in feminist not as in woman and feminism is not simply going "men bad" over and over and I feel like they should be the ones to know it fully well
i'm writing this with feelings of anger, sadness, hurt, disappointment and some guilt after a recent conversation with a friend.
if someone tells you, a trans masc, that they hate men (especially while they're aware of your gender identity), if they keep doubling down on it, if the keep making jokes about hating men, if you tell them that it's hurting you and they still do it, you have the full right to be upset. you have the full right to be angry, to feel hurt, to feel disappointed, to be sad. of course, you should not deny or dismiss the trauma that might've lead that person to form this opinion. but you're absolutely allowed to feel whatever you feel. it's not wrong for you to feel upset by this. it's not wrong to disagree with them. they literally said they hate a group you're inherently part of.
THERE. IS. NOTHING. WRONG. WITH. YOU. you deserve to feel loved and to have a comfortable, safe space. you don't deserve to be hated simply for existing. it's exhausting to live as a trans person. it's exhausting to live as a trans man/trans masc. find people who respect you and listen to you. you are loved.
There's alot of terfs posing as transmascs in the transmasc tags rn, so i just wanna make it clear to those who follow me: - Yes transmascs have transmasc specific issues - No that does not mean we are inherently more oppressed than transfems - Yes we deserve to have a term for it for ease of discussion - No it does not oppress anyone to have such a term - Yes, alot of people have flawed views on transmasc issues - No, this is not the fault of transfems Now more than ever we need to uplift ourselves and our fellow siblings with "out-of-the-norm" gender identities. Please Please Please be wary of posts making generalizations like "Transfems dont want us to have-" "Transmascs are just taking away from-" Thats just bait trying to pit us against eachother, please block people like this.
Minors/Younger Trans people especially, please know, our enemy and oppressors are not eachother! Think long and hard about who exactly benefits when we spend our time hurting eachother instead of lifting eachother up and fighting as a united group.
ok so now that finnster's come out as genderfluid and started taking hrt can we stop trying to force people to choose labels and define their identity. everyone's always talking about support for queer people with unconventional presentations and identities but when someone's not sure about what their gender identity actually is they get criticized for it. finn said in his video that part of the reason why he took so long with coming out was because he wasn't sure what label actually applied to him (and he still isn't even sure if genderfluid feels like the right label for him) and the debate surrounding it was making him uncomfortable. which kind of sucks tbh. idk i dont like how much identity policing ive seen around them it feels like people just aren't comfortable with 'weird' gender presentation
Okay but why the hell would you like a bunch of my posts and follow me when you literally have "Men get blocked" in your bio?
Is it because I didn't discuss Man Stuff in the posts you saw and you assumed my gender?
Is it because I don't share my gender or add a bunch of pride flags to my own bio (a thing I should not have to do in order to be Valid) and you're too lazy to determine I should be DNI by reading more than three posts of mine?
Is it because you saw that I'm a trans man but when you say "men" you mean "penises" so I might be okay?
Is it because you don't think trans men are men?
I guess I'll never know, since I blocked the offending account, but yeah, I do wonder.
