[virovirokun-has-adhd]

happy pride month to trans and/or nonbinary masculine people who instead prefer more neutral language for themselves or prefer "boy" or "guy" over "man" or "male"

happy pride month to trans and/or nonbinary masculine people who instead prefer more feminine language while also identifying as masculine or "man"-aligned so they don't identify with the words "man" or "male"

happy pride month to trans and/or nonbinary masculine people who as well as being called a man also like to be called more feminine terms like woman or girl. never let being a boy/man stop you from being a girl/woman

[space-feminist]

it’s always so fucking funny to me when terfs are like “how can you say trans women and women are the same thing! being born as a man makes you different!” because like. yes. trans women and cis women are different. so are black women and white women. and straight women and queer woman. and women from different countries and different socioeconomic statuses. there’s diversity in the experience of womanhood? what a wild concept

[space-feminist]

incidentally, this why terfs tend to be white women. from the combahee river collective statement, 1977:

…we reject the stance of Lesbian separatism because it is not a viable political analysis or strategy for us. It leaves out far too much and far too many people, particularly Black men, women, and children. We have a great deal of criticism and loathing for what men have been socialized to be in this society: what they support, how they act, and how they oppress. But we do not have the misguided notion that it is their maleness, per se—i.e., their biological maleness—that makes them what they are. As BIack women we find any type of biological determinism a particularly dangerous and reactionary basis upon which to build a politic. 

(emphasis mine)

[dentes-mentis]

“To argue that transsexual women should not enter [women-exclusive spaces] because their experiences are different would have to assume that all other women’s experiences are the same, and this is a racist assumption. The argument that transsexual women have experienced some degree of male privilege should not bar them from our communities once we realize that not all women are equally privileged or oppressed.”

(from “Whose feminism is it, anyway?” by Emi Koyama)

[stele3]

This. This is the core of it. This is why trans-exclusionary radical feminism is rooted in racism, colonialism, and imperialism. It excludes the idea that there can be any other type of “woman” except one very (white, colonialist, imperialist) definition.

[solongavalon]

fag and dyke does not mean man and woman. transmasc and transfem does not mean man and woman. guy and girl dont even mean man and woman to me anymore

[albertserra]

Idk how you can see the images of stripped palestinian men kneeling head down in a row surrounded by armed IOF soldiers and crammed into the back of Israeli trucks and not feel sick to your stomach for the rest of the day if not month. Undeniably cruel and fascist army. And you’ll still see Zionists saying the world would be a better place if every country’s military was like the IDF. It’s beyond brainwashing

[albertserra]

There’s a video too. This is so fucking awful

I think inbetween the messages of "its okay if you don't want to do all the things in transition" "It's okay if you don't pass" etc I got the feeling like those were responses to a mainline opinion I never was exposed to.

There's lots of "being trans is great" but I don't remember ever really seeing "keep going with transition" "it might be hard but it will be rewarding"

There's people who take great identity in the transition stuff they don't do and that's absolutely fine and fantastic.

But where are my girls telling me to keep practicing voice training? Where's my encouragement to get my facial hair removed (one of the best things in my life btw) there's no specificity.

If you don't want to do these things that's fine (after examining why you don't) but you should try to transition even the stuff that's hard, if you want it.

I questioned training my voice at all as there was a point where I felt like the objective was so hard it was an unreasonable expectation to place on me and I readily found people saying it was fine, but what I really needed were people who could advise me to keep going.

Voice training *is* the hardest part I've done so far and it does take a long time and it's so slow you don't really see how it incorporates itself with your speech, but even passively doing a little bit every so often did make noticeable changes to my voice that someone who knew me closely for a long time, pointed out immediately upon meeting me again, and because of that recognition it launched me into trying more all time.

Keep trying, keep practicing. Whatever it is keep pushing towards. Don't get disheartened because it's hard. Remember that you want it and just keep practicing because it will come. Keep pushing and searching because you will find a way. Yes a lot of people feel they cannot and give up even and I won't lie being trans absolutely is battered with attacks to make you feel like it's not possible but it actually has always been possible and belief backed by action, persistent action, is the way

[genderqueerdykes]

I've been seeing a disturbing number of "queer safe spaces" describe themselves as things like "femme & them" and even worse "she+," conflating femininity & nonbinaryhood. cease this immediately. say it with me: nonbinary people are NOT women-lite and it is extremely violent and straight up incorrect to imply that all they/thems are fem adjacent. this is erasure and this verbiage does nothing but make gnc and nonbinary spaces unsafe for masc and male nonbinary people. nonbinary, genderqueer and other third gender people can be and are masculine and men, we can be hes as well as shes and theys, stop allowing yourself and your peers to view nonbinary as woman/femme-lite, signed a butch nonbinary person.

[genderqueerdykes]

as a lot of folks in the tags have added, this implies the idea that women are wholesale safer for queer people to be around, which is not the case, as queer women are still capable of being transphobic, biphobic, lesbophobic and so on. the other side of this implication in this verbiage is men & mascs are inherently unsafe to be around, which is violent and untrue rhetoric.

queer men still need safe spaces. queer mascs still need safe spaces. cis gay men, trans men, intersex men, genderfluid men, nonbinary men, nonbinary mascs, bears, bi/pansexual men & mascs, male & masc drag performers, and other queer masculine people are still threatened and made unsafe by cisheterosexual society and need somewhere safe to be ourselves and to be queer.

men & mascs are not inherently unsafe to be around. women & femmes are not inherently safe to be around. women & femmes are capable of queerphobia and violence. queer men & mascs are capable of being abused, mistreated, hurt, abandoned and worse. queer men & mascs still need our help and support, and this goes quadruply for nonbinary men & mascs.

masculinity is not a threat. femininity is not "safer" than any other identity or presentation. make your safe spaces SAFE for ALL QUEERS, not just the ones you think are The Good Ones.

Hey can we queers please remember that the rural queer experience has unique challenges thanks

[mythicalcoolkid]

Coming out is different when you know if you come out to one person you risk the whole town knowing. Coming out is different when religion is entwined in your entire community. Being queer is different when you can't trust that your doctor or therapist will stay confidential. Being queer is different when conversion therapy is subtle and normalized. Transitioning is different when there aren't gender clinics or gender therapists for 50 miles. School is different when other kids are put at risk by being seen with you. Can we stop acting like there aren't queer people living in rural areas and start supporting them

[evengirlierballs]

They turned off reblogs the MICROSECOND I pressed reblog, so I need this on my blog IMMEDIATEDLY

[gayestcowboy]

i know butch lesbians get compared to twinks all the time but shoutout to butches who don’t look like twinks. shoutout to butches more on the bear end of the spectrum. shoutout to transmasc butches who go on testosterone and get top surgery. shoutout to transfem butches who keep their hair short and don’t shave and don’t go on estrogen. shoutout to butches who are fat. shoutout to butches who are disabled. shoutout to butches that aren’t white. shoutout to butches that look indistinguishable from cisgender men and wouldn’t want it any other way. shoutout to butches that are nonbinary and shoutout to butches that use neopronouns and have xenogenders. shoutout to butches that want to transition but can’t at the moment. shoutout to butches that dress and look however they want and don’t conform to the expectations of what butches “should” look like. y’all are cool as fuck

[our-queer-experience]

i think the trans community has a really big problem with self isolation. we isolate from the entire world and then we isolate from each other in the name of safety.

[our-queer-experience]

yes, the rest of the world is sometimes dangerous and scary. but it is also beautiful. and i wouldnt want to miss out on any of it.

reblog if YOUR 🫵 they/them pussy is exploding america!

[ftm-radio]

pretty sure my slightly sad and pathetic internet searches from earlier today attracted the attention of some transgender deity or guardian or whatever so I had to scribble a comic about it because I think it's very funny <3

[cephalopod-celabrator]

It is inherently fun and sexy to say statements that swap the traditional genders of pronouns and terms mid-statement, such as: "I'm going to make him my wife" "She's my boyfriend" "Who says a guy can't be a pretty princess?" "That girl's the coolest dude I've ever met" Gender is a set of watercolors and the prettiest shades come from mixing the paints together.

[aprillikesthings]

Several of my friends who previously self-identified as bi are realizing they've lost interest in men, generally speaking

A friend of mine who's identified as a lesbian her whole life fell in love with a very sweet and shy man

I lost interest in men a few years ago, fell in love with a non-binary person, and now I give them their T shots

Life and love are unpredictable

And "queer" is a great word that all of us like and self-identify with (along with our other, more specific labels), and I love that no matter what else happens, we're still, always queer

[thetetrarchyofcassidy]

I really don’t understand why some people are so hostile to the idea that attraction can be fluid. Let people love how they love.
