i find it so bizarre (and telling) how people conveniently forget that privilege and oppression are structural systems when it comes to trans men and transmasculine people. it’s a necessary function of patriarchal systems that transitioning into privilege is impossible like the entire point of the system is to keep it as exclusive and rigid as possible. even if you completely pass in social contexts that doesn’t mean shit in legal or medical contexts

yeah they don't let you transition into making a cis man's dollar or transition out of medical gaslighting. and our "male privilege" is not protecting us from anti-trans legislation. tragic that you're having to talk about this from witness protection. stand strong brother I'll be loud for both of us 💙🩷🤍🩷💙

the whole thing about trans men and our male privilege is so stupid. in a cissexist society there is no institutional or social benefits that come with being a trans man. individual experiences of privilege that do occur come from perceived proximity to cisness. society at large isn't rewarding trans men, we either get social privilege if we pass that won't stand up to institutional scrutiny, or we get to be failed women or lesbians. either way, there isn't a reward or reprieve for being a trans man.

worth noting that there’s more to it than being perceived as failed women (or lesbians). to display any proximity to cis masculinity at all is to divert from enforced femininity, which paradoxically puts you further away from cisness as a whole. any masculinity we show is therefore “deviant” masculinity, and it more often than not amplifies the abuse.

depending on a bigot, there’s usually a point when you’re no longer seen as a “fucked up girl” (which might even give you occasional pity) unworthy of acknowledgement, you become a “malicious deceiver” of unfortunate cisgendered onlookers (or, god forbid, intimate partners! gasp!). or worse, you become a “monstrosity” - an insult to nature itself, some grotesque abominable objects that need to be removed from public, as acceptable targets for all kinds of violence and abuse, as inhuman things deserving of punishment for existing at all; to be treated as a genderqueer and transmasculine person in a cis/sexist kyriarchic society is an experience of its own particular kind

the failed woman/lesbian thing is very much from my own experiences so far as I haven't medically transitioned into the monstrous deceiver phase, but this is absolutely also true and important!

He doesn't want to go, your honor!

The casting on this was uncannily good, actually. Excellent work.

data: i have no emotions

data, later: hello, geordi. i have created a portrait of us as terran cats. this artistic technique is known as pointillism. it became popular during the late nineteenth century. i selected an american bobtail to represent you, and an oriental shorthair to represent myself. after researching feline behavioral characteristics and common humanoid-to-animal artistic associations, i concluded these were the most statistically appropriate choices. of course, it is not possible to determine which cat breeds we would actually resemble unless we experienced a transporter malfunction or a similar form of energy fluctuation leading to an unexpected physical transformation. i also adjusted the composition to accommodate your VISOR’s perceptual processing. you have previously informed me that faint details tend to blend into surrounding imagery. because of this, i used a high level of contrast to better define the silhouettes. the cats' whiskers and ocular details were rendered in pure white to improve clarity. i additionally incorporated bright violets, cyans, and saturated blues to the main color palette of the piece, as these wavelengths appeared more distinguishable within your visual spectrum. what do you think, geordi?

[image description: a digital drawing of Data from Star Trek TNG, from the perspective of Geordi and his VISOR. he's depicted from the knees up. his body is a black silhouette, and his metal skeleton, his artificial lungs and his yellow and orange wiring is shown like he's under an x-ray. the background is a dark blue, and an aura of bright yellow and purple surrounds him. he is looking right at the viewer. /end description]
