@analogue-dragon
✨ dragons, stories, and art, oh my !✨
Hiya y'all, I'm the one and only Analogue-Dragon, we're plural, collective names are Orchid and Nightshade with any pronouns except it/its (though some of our parts do use it/it's!)
My Tumblr family includes my amazing digital siblings @ajolteonnamedsparky and @the-mycelial-court
See below for the rest of my intro or (link to plaintext/no graphics version coming soon!). Warning for blinkies/mild flashing at the end just after the links section
So here's what happened on Reddit:
A transmasc posted about how transmascs and trans men are often invisible, how our issues are dismissed, and how resources, especially medical ones, are almost always written with non transmascs in mind. They posted this both to r/Trans and r/lgbt.
A moderator of r/Trans responded by telling them to “stop bitching.” That’s the word they used. That’s the level of respect trans men get. Transandrophobic by the way, don't call trans men bitches.
The comment was deleted, quietly, after backlash. Then the entire post was removed. When asked why, a mod responded that the post was “playing oppression olympics,” and took the time to go through and dismiss each of the original poster’s points, including saying that trans men being sexually assaulted isn’t “unique to transmascs” and therefore not an issue, and claiming that access to testosterone isn’t any more restricted than access to estrogen, which is a straight-up lie, because T is a tightly controlled substance in most places and E is not.
The original poster was banned for three days.
Then a separate mod made a post saying, “nobody asked us our side of the story,” which is wild because people absolutely did, publicly and repeatedly. Users also started reporting that they’d had supportive comments removed or had been banned after disagreeing with the mods, some of those claims are still unconfirmed, but given the general behavior, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Then r/Trans locked down entirely. No new posts. The conversation was forcibly ended.
Some people posted about it on r/FTM, many of those posts were mass-reported, automatically removed by Reddit’s automod, or quietly buried. Meanwhile, r/lgbt also removed the original post, with no explanation.
One of the r/Trans mods eventually posted an “apology,” which was really just a soft-scrubbed PR post full of noncommittal language and distancing. They said they didn’t mean to call a trans man “a bitch,” they just used it synonymously with “complaining,” and they didn’t think about the implications until later even though the first post was about microaggressions just like the mod committed. They did not apologize for anything else, not for wrongfully banning people, not for accusing a transmasc venting like any other user of playing oppression olympics, nothing at all. They said they’re on break and can’t do anything about it. They said, and I quote, “please don’t be mad at the rest of the team.” even though the rest of the team are just as culpable for not stopping their behavior.
They also added that trans men are “a welcome part of the community” and tried to point at moderation history as proof. Because apparently we should be grateful that people occasionally get banned, every so often, for implying trans men aren't oppressed at all, wow, thanks, that is like below the bare minimum, cool.
The current state of things is: r/Trans has over 600,000 members, and trans men and transmascs were silenced, banned, and told to shut up for bringing up their own oppression. And the subreddit is locked down. There’s a mass exodus happening to the new sub, r/trans4every1, but let’s be real, the damage has already been done.
Now let’s talk about what this actually means.
This is not “just more Tumblr discourse.” This isn’t some random blog saying they don’t like transmascs. This isn’t a Twitter reply guy. This isn’t a niche zine or a spicy personal take. This is a massive trans-focused subreddit with over half a million users. It's easily one of the largest public facing trans community online, maybe even the largest, I've certainly never found a bigger one myself. And the moderation team made it crystal clear: they do not want transmascs to feel safe or welcome there.
This is what transandrophobia looks like on a slightly larger internet scale. When it’s in the hands of people who get to decide who gets heard and who gets deleted.
And for anyone who’s still stuck on “well they apologized” listen: trans men are told all the time that we’re being too loud, too angry, too entitled, too manly, too feminine, too confusing, too “binary,” too "Nonbinary", too much. We’re told that we’re “oppression olympics-ing” just for talking about our lives. And now we're getting banned and locked out of the spaces that claim to represent a huge portion of online trans people.
This isn't just online drama. This is a bellwether. And if it isn’t setting off alarms in your head, it should be.
The way transandrophobia manifests in online spaces absolutely bleeds into real life, into medical gatekeeping, into poor data collection, into the erasure of sexual violence against transmascs, into advocacy groups that write us out of the picture, into educational materials that treat us like footnotes, if they include us at all.
And if you’re sitting there thinking, “well it’s not that deep,” you’re part of the problem.
We need to start being more honest about this: Transandrophobia is real, it is widespread, and it is growing. We need to stop giving people the benefit of the doubt when they’ve shown us they don’t want us in the room.
And frankly?
We need to start making TRFs [Trans Radfems & transmasc-exclusionary feminists alike] deeply uncomfortable being open about their beliefs. We need to make them afraid to be TRFs, the way they’re trying to make us afraid to exist.
The same way we don’t coddle fascists. The same way we don’t tolerate TERFs. We need to stop tiptoeing around transandrophobia.
Because this growing wave of transandrophobia is going to kill people. Full stop.
Protect trans men. Protect transmascs. Protect your siblings; all of them!
Edit because I forgot to add it:
Another thing worth noting is that not only was r/trans deleting and banning any users and posts talking about the situation, they were deleting any posts talking about transmasc issues or transmasc positivity full stop.
Even when those posts had nothing to do with the current issue. They were being silenced. They were being actively erased, in a trans space.
Okay I think. That's finally everyone.
I believe everyone who was already here has picked a source and/or found their own appearance/self. Nobody else is allowed to happen I&'ve spent so long making all these intro posts and finding individual graphics for/with everyone's posts
There lowk might be a Jaz here but if she is actually here and I'm not making her up then she's refusing to talk until after the tadc finalie is common knowledge so I'm not worrying about her intro right now
Fuckin roll call: me, Willow, Prince, Astryx, Fluttershy, Angyl, Nigel, Gummigoo, Jaz (possibly?? Maybe?? Idk if she exists. "Jax" fictive if she exists but don't call her that) is there anyone whose name I haven't called. No? Great awesome no more intro posts
framing trans infighting on this website as “both sides” arguing about who has it worse is so disingenuous it’s actually infuriating. i have a blocklist literally thousands of blogs long and i still can’t go a single day on here without seeing someone go on and on about how privileged trans men are and how trans men are actually benefiting from the patriarchy and oppressing trans women. meanwhile, i can count on my fingers the number of times i’ve seen a trans man argue the opposite. the only people who DO consistently make that argument are cis TERFs, yet for some reason it’s being attributed to “transandrobros” instead.
the vast, VAST majority of people who talk about transandrophobia are in agreement that playing oppression olympics is fucking stupid and unhelpful, but nobody listens because they keep getting talked over and silenced and gaslit about their experiences.
if you want people to stop arguing about who has it worse you can help by defending and standing with the trans men and mascs who have been saying exactly that this entire fucking time. when you try to “both sides” the discourse you’re just contributing to the cycle of speaking over and erasing the experiences of trans men/mascs, because you’re refusing to engage with what the overwhelming majority have actually been saying in favor of giving legitimacy to the strawman of the “transandrobro” that has been invented for the exact purpose of fueling the discourse.
i fuckign queued this and forgot abt it and got scared cuz i thought i was hacked or smth. anyways happy june eleventh
reblog while its still true
wait one fucking second it is June 10th the time police lied to me
Also I’m queueing this for next year too. At the time of writing it is 9:35 am on June 11th
11:40 am for me :D
Being a brown trans man who lives in a village and seeing discourse about trans men having male privilege is so wild. Most people have never seen or do not know that trans men exist here
I cannot be out at home because my family would be ostracized, I have a friend (cis bi girl) who is constantly physically abused by her mother because she found out that she has a girlfriend. Shit is not safe for queer people in these villages. I am out to classmates and a few professors at my college in the city where it's more progressive but I am misgendered multiple times a day and deadnamed every now and then even though I have been out at college for over a year. I am always seen as a woman when my professors address my class, "all girls class", "I don't see any men here", "you must know this because all of you are girls".
I do not pass at all and I have no access to hrt or surgeries that would not involve outing myself (additionally I do not even know if I want to pursue those things because I like my appearance but I do not like being misgendered so ugh). I walk a little faster when cis men follow me and my friends, i have been whistled at before, my friends and I have been recorded by a cis man before, I have been told to do things more like a lady by older women before and been told about how I will someday want to birth children. I do not have male privilege.
The only times I am treated like a man is when I'm told that my family is disturbed by me not wanting to shave my peach fuzz or by wearing men's clothes.
(And that's not even getting super into my ex who accused me of SA for telling her I'm questioning being a trans man after telling her in depth about questioning my gender identity for months. "If you do identify as a man well you sure are acting like one" in response to me blocking her because she didn't want me to break up with her after she said more horrible things to me and also tried to tell me that I'm probably not a trans man bc I don't know if I want to physically transition). I'm tired of Americans talking bullshit, I am only acknowledged or treated like a man when others are trying to shame me and disapprove of my behavior, I do not have male privilege.
This is transandrophobia, and I am so sorry. I wish you the best of luck
Iron deficient and on the period is always a bad combo. Stood for a couple minutes and was sweaty and a little out of it by the time I got back to my bed
Me low key wobbling and holding onto the stair rail for stability while yapping before making it back to my room

this was so wild
Someone explain
The first sentence says 32 and 13 implying that the speaker is 32 years old and their girlfriend is 13 years old, which is both highly inappropriate and illegal. The next sentence reveals the speaker was talking about their game levels, not their ages, which is perfectly okay.
In their reply to the audience they then say they are picking her up from middle school, again implying that their girlfriend is underage, but quickly state she’s grading papers letting us know she’s a teacher, definitely an adult, and there no reason to be upset.
The rollercoaster gif portrays how switching from upset and worried to relieved in such a short period of time feels emotionally.
The next meme shows the guy panicking from misunderstanding, then feeling relieved and calm realizing the truth, only to panic over the next misunderstanding and then calm again when hearing the end.
the above explanation is followed by a picture of data from star trek with a speech bubble's tail coming out of him, implying he's the one saying all of that, which is humerous because the above text is written in a style similar to his speech patterns, and with a subject matter he would enjoy
This is the worst website ever and I love it.
