updated the link to his autobiography because it was broken! here's some more pictures of him (first is mid 90s, second 2013 and last 2024)

there's an interview with him from 2017 along with some information about his life and activism. and he was interviewed on a podcast here. he's not super well known but has been a really important trans activist for decades

ID: A screenshot of Tumblr tags reading: "i see like [caps] No [caps end] phallo talk on this website and I'm sure it's because of the widely spread terf notion that they suck but they dont and haven't for a long time!!

transphobes would target people who had recently gone through the process and share the extremely personal pics theyd posted thing is. most of the pics arent even from the final operation. theyre from the midway point: before they construct the glans

some people are happy and leave it at that but most have another surgery for that called Stage 2 thats [caps] Also [caps end] before tattooing. mn

*many people elect not to get tattooing but a fair amount do to make it look more naturalistic and match the head color to your lip color the notion that phallos are poor recreations of the natal penis is straight up transphobia and discourages people from getting them including people who would be much happier with them

everyone i know whos actually had the surgery has been overjoyed. the difference is immeasurable. and in fact…most people actually find they orgasm [caps] Easier [caps end] after getting a phallo because they dont have dysphoria distracting them"

End ID.

Maybe it’s better to have the terrible times first. I don’t know. Maybe then, you can have, if you live, a better life, a real life, because you had to fight so hard to get it away⸺you know?⸺from the mad dog who held it in his teeth. But then your life has all those tooth marks, too, all those tatters and all that blood.

how dare u hide this in the tags

Hey so uh,

As a trans guy who’s been working out for a few years now and has learned a lot about their body and building muscle and whatnot in the process, here’s something I don’t see mentioned, like ever.

Abs don’t really look Like That™ when they’re relaxed.

Here’s a few examples from a Reddit thread asking for pictures of people both flexing and not flexing their abs

I rarely see male body positivity posts in general but I’ve never seen this mentioned, and honestly? Call me stupid for it if you want, but I genuinely thought that super defined look was something that was achievable in a relaxed state, simply because I’ve never seen anything to the contrary.

As someone with body dysmorphia as well as dysphoria, you can imagine the damaging effects that might have had on my mental health trying by to achieve the impossible. I can only imagine how many other masculine folk out there could be struggling with the exact same thing.

Anyway like, this is mostly to point out for masculine folks that might be pushing themselves too hard, that you’re probably doing better than you realise.

art-and-sterf

Anecdotal stuff aside, this is an important thing for artists to remember as well! This is something I never realised despite being an artist that goes to figure drawing classes on the regular and having modelled for them myself- because of course people with abs are flexing for the poses! I was doing it too! - Admin Pasta

I was a touch confused for a number of years because I’m fat and have a squish tummy, but if I flexed I’d have fucking rock hard abs (still not visible cause I’m fat, but hey).

beautytruthandstrangeness

Yeah, ever since I hurt my back, my abs have been as hard as a butcher block under the pudge, when I am using them. I like to think I’m like a very expensive mattress with the firm supportive layer and the pillowtop.

cipheramnesia

I wrote a whole thesis on this crap centered around the way media erases tummies

y'all wait though the suggestions are man-slut f i r e

i can say this from experience cis wlw. NO amount of “terfs unfollow me” will get them to do that. you are their intended conversion demographic and you just have this ittttsssyyy bitttsssyyy flaw where you aren’t a terf.

yet.

they will stick around to try to influence you and use your posts out of context and hope that they’re subtly “helping” you get out of your own beliefs (and they’re definitely using the content they get from you to try to influence their own followers). maybe YOU aren’t vulnerable to it (still be wary) but the people who follow them might be, and your followers who notice that person interacting with you might be.

so like. don’t just say “terfs unfollow me” because that does nothing. if you realize someone following you is a terf, put your money where your mouth is and block them.

trans-hee-ho-kun-deactivated202

This also applies to cafab non-binary folk and trans men as well. Terfs see you all as potential conversion targets. Being trans yourself doesn’t exempt you from examining your own transmisogyny and uprooting any terfs near you.

I laughed so fucking hard at this

[Image description: a video followed by 6 flags.

The video, described by @holyfunnyhistoryherring, is a captioned tik tok by @thatrobinhood, showing a white guy with short brown hair and a longer beard, wearing a bathrobe, holding a drink and talking to the camera. He says, “So I was at a tractor-pull one time (yes, I am exactly the kind of redneck that goes to tractor-pulls) and this guy showed up, I guess with his boyfriend, um, I’m not a 100% sure. But he was wearing, uh, pink cowboy boots. He had homemade cut-of jean shorts, he had a, uh, flannel crop top, and he had a pink John Deer trucker hat.Anyway, one of the rednecks behind me was looking at this guy and he’s like ‘I don’t know why anybody would come to a tractor-pull dressed like that’ and the other redneck who’s behind me goes ’listen, if he wants to come to a tractor pull dressed like that, it’s his God given right. What the fuck do you think freedom, Earl?’ and now I really want a pride bumper sticker that says ‘What the fuck do you think freedom means, Earl?’”

The flags are the rainbow, bi, lesbian, pan, trans, and ace flags. The bi and ace flags have a different font from the others, but they each have “What the fuck do you think freedom means, Earl!?” written over them with uppercase black text.

Anybody know what to say to a person who says they refuse to use your pronouns so instead they just wont use any pronouns when referring to you -and then they proceed to use the wrong pronouns for you anyway.

Any advice?? This isnt even the first time this has happened to me with someone and I still dont know what to say.

Seeing this exchange on Reddit was so sad. Men and boys need love and affection as much as women and girls.

unpopularly-opinionated

Fuck, this reminds me of this good post I saw on I believe Twitter. Can’t find it and even so I’d rather not repost it if it can be helped but it was basically some dude crawling into bed w/ his girlfriend/wife and he was clearly upset and she offers him sex to make him feel better but he declines so instead she cuddles him and he starts crying and says thank you. Super cute and sweet.
