your identity will always be more important than fitting into someone else's view of how they think the world should work.

Passing: Profiling the Lives of Young Trans Men of Color (2015).

[ID: Excerpts from interviews with two trans men. The first, Lucah Rosenberg Lee, has a shaved head and a trimmed beard. The second, Victor Thomas, has curly black hair and a trimmed beard, and is heavier-set.

Lucah, talking about gender dysphoria prior to transitioning, says, “I was in a heterosexual relationship. I was female. I would question this all the time. Am I attracted to these men, or do I just want to be them? That was a big turning point in my own self-discovery.”

Victor, talking about the transphobia he’s endured as a trans man of color, says, “You’re subjected to something because they don’t understand you. And you have to watch the way you react, because you’re a man now. People take you as a threat.”

Lucah, in another scene, discusses feeling erased as a trans man, and racism in trans communities. He says, “Being so invisible within the LGBT community can actually feel so isolating. When people don’t know my history as a trans person, I feel sometimes that I’m viewed as more of an enemy.” END ID.]

Trans men of color deserve to be loved and appreciated, and made safe. Trans men deserve access to our own spaces, no matter how masculine and cis-passing we are. We deserve credit and recognition for the contributions that we have made to trans history, most of which are erased nowadays.

Being a man is not dangerous or wrong. Being masculine is not dangerous or wrong. Being a black man is not dangerous or wrong.

Please support trans men of color.

Please support trans men.

Please support men.

Men belong in trans spaces. Men of color belong in LGBT+ spaces. Straight trans men belong at Pride. Men do not have to be feminine to be queer.

This is why I have no sympathy whatsoever for anti-intellectuals who complain when discussion posts use too much academic language. "You can't expect me to whip out a dictionary every time you post—" BITCH I LOOKED UP "AHEGAO" FOR YOU. OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART.

Don't let staff get away with this, keep contacting them, leaving messages, until they do something. This was not an accident. You don't ban 200 trans women, all followers of the same blog, on accident. Staff has a long history of transmisogyny. Do not let this go unanswered, swept under the rug.

Demand accountability. Demand change, staff to stop banning transfems, and unban the ones they banned. Be loud about it.

[missstrogen]

Don't forget that the original email said the bans were arbitrary. Staff knows what they were doing.

Demand change. Be abrasive and annoying. Don't stop until it's obtained

[redstonedust]

when the allegedly cishet neurotypical relative hits you with the "well i think everyones a little bit on the spectrum" "its normal to think about kissing your girl friends sometimes" "sure i've never felt like a woman but i can't change what i am." and you have to suddenly carefully evaluate whether theyre just being dismissive or if you've unlocked some very interesting potential information about your grandmother.

[queeruncle]

Someone talking about their experiences does not nullify, invalidate, or disqualify you from talking about your own experiences.

Your experiences and others’ experiences are not mutually exclusive.

Tumblr staff just terminated 3 of my friends

@analog-delight, @sapphireh3art, and @puppiesthoughtsgobrrrr, in the span of a few minutes.

They aren't even hiding it this time, they claimed no reason for the termination. "For any reason, or none at all."

Staff is transmisogynistic and is targetting trans women and their allies on purpose. They are all but admitting to this here.

[missstrogen]

By my count we're at 6 accounts (overwhelmingly transfems) terminated in the last ten minutes, most if not all with the same "For any reason, or none at all", bullshit justification.

Tumblr staff is currently running a banwave of trans women, terminating them without justification.

[missstrogen]

I've been told of more than ten more girls banned, in the same timeframe. @yay-bunnies was banned too.

I've been told that all followers of a now terminated blogs were banned, so it's safe to assume that someone on staff just went down the list of a tgirl's blog and banned all of them.

@staff is transmisogynistic and currently mass banning trans women. Make sure they never hear the end of it. Raise hell like yall did a few days ago. Staff is mass banning transfems without reason.

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.
