a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

As an older queer, allow me to say: the walls of the closet are load-bearing. It is our job as a community to stand in front of that door and tell everyone who wants to peek inside to fuck off.

There are so many reasons a person may choose not to come out and there is no reason a person would owe the public or a stranger that information. Certainly it's not owed simply because someone is famous.

We have fought for decades to make it safer for people to be open and authentic about themselves, but we are not yet there. And even if we were, the closet would still be something we need to maintain for those who are not ready to reveal that part of themselves.

is this a safe space to say that the additions to the LGBT flag (“progress flag”) are well meaning but undermine the fact that the original colors symbolized vague concepts that could apply to anyone, rather than signifying specific types of human beings, which is, ironically, more “exclusionary” since it begs the question of why “X specific group of humans” aren’t being represented in the imagery now. the original flag completely avoided that conundrum. also it’s a little ugly. But don’t mind me lol.

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

Tguy passing advice sucks so bad because so many white trans men just cannot imagine a world where style exists outside of a binary between, like, “high femme” and “the most boring greyscale softmasc teenage boy in a t-shirt and jeans ever conceived.” It makes me feel crazy. I mean obviously yes if you’re purely worried about immediate safety sometimes being as boring as possible is necessary but that’s not unique to transmasculinity. But these guys will act like dressing in anything beyond the same lame straight cut jeans grey black navy blue colors no piercings no jewelry no style whatsoever to speak of is the literal only option if you want to be read as a man in society and that just is objectively not the case at all. And even unfortunately the guys who try to argue against this advice will slip into this presumption than the only alternative is “trans men can dress how they want if they want to dress feminine that’s valid.” And like of course this is true but like, there’s never any room for “Good Style That Doesn’t Suck But Isn’t Overly Feminine / Will Still Pass As Male” in the discussion lmao. Just saw a trans man really hardcore doubling down on passing advice of this nature by saying “you guys are forgetting that men’s fashion is SUPPOSED to be boring!” Like… is it?? 😭 They like cannot imagine a world where style exists beyond like, normie WASP perceptions of Man and Woman. It’s so unimaginative and to be more damning it’s SO white. There are decades upon decades of diverse fashionable styles that are read as ubiquitously masculine or male & so many subtle things one can do to help with passing while still retaining a sense of self & they don’t even appear to realize that this is possible. Like alternative / non-normative / nonwhite forms of masculine style just do not exist to them at all lol.
