I Am Cringe But I Am Free

Heyo, I’m Clownzilla. He/him or clown/clownself. I post about gore and horror a lot- be warned

[clownzilla31]

I love trans men and trans mascs. I love them so much. I love being a trans man, because I love being a man. Men are so cool. Being a man is so cool. I wish I could live as one 24/7.

I've seen so many posts lately like "trans men have got to get more feminine" and it's lowkey pissing me off because we haven't even normalized trans men being masculine yet. Have you not been paying attention to trans men when they talk about being kicked out of LGBT spaces for "appearing too cishet" like can we lock in and understand that sexuality and oftentimes gender aren't something you can visually tell before we start trying to normalize something that's already normalized

[mothmanmafia]

I agree with both sides here- I think we need to normalize both. Trans men can be "cishet passing". Trans men can look like women. Trans men can be androgynous, they can be masculine or feminine, they can be however they want.

It's important to acknowledge that both A- they are allowed to appear however they want, and B- that includes seeming "not queer enough" for queer spaces.

ever since i was a little girl i wanted to be a man with a homoerotic years long incredibly intense friendship with another man

[fist-full-of-feathers]

What really gets me about a lot of the transandrophobia on this website is the fact that people love to ignore that tons of trans men are also barred from sports, except for us its silently, theres almost no fight about it and no support for us.

Do any of you know who he is?

This is Mack Beggs, a southern trans man. Mack is a wrestler who was forced to fight in the girls state championship which he had to fight tooth and nail to be included in at all. Even now when Mack fights on a mens team he engages in activism for mental health of trans youth and for other trans athletes and yet people have the audacity to come on here and say that transmasculine people contribute nothing to the movement. Have you ever heard of him? Or was it such a quiet modest celebration that you didn’t even know he existed.

And thats how it is with trans men. It is not better to be publicly shamed and harassed but being voiceless comes with its own struggles. When we’re allowed to compete in women's sports, something we shouldn’t be forced to do in the first place, it’s almost always under the condition that we are not taking testosterone. When we are competing in mens sports, if we’re not turned away at the gate for being a “woman” we face the physical danger of assault, sexual or otherwise, in the locker room. How can you call that privilege?

This post comes with no intention to invalidate anyone else’s experiences, only to uplift those of transmascs.

as a southern trans man, I’m really happy to see some southern rep!!

Gwen is the star of my sketchbook, I have doodled nothing but her during class lately and I felt bad I don’t give her as much love here so I re-drew some of my sketches digitally :)

I wish I knew how to use my scanner so I could’ve just took nice pictures of the originals but oh well

i know that people have a lot of valid reasons to hate keefe but if i was a little kid and manifested as an empath and one of the first things i felt with that ability was how little my parents loved me i would be soooo fucked in the head
