A Practical Guide To Feminizing HRT

The futile attempt at answering every possible question for someone looking to trans their sex.

[agender-witchery]

I just find it really weird that all of my trans focused posts EXCEPT for the nonbinary focused posts tend to pop off. Like the fact that I'm trans is negated by the fact that I'm nonbinary to some people.

[agender-witchery]

People will say TMA and transfem to mean trans woman when those terms very explicitly are designed to include nonbinary people who are marginalized along the same lines. Enbies can experience transmisogyny. Enbies can be transgender and feminine.

I'm tired y'all.

worth reading the entire thing. has some really good thoughts on why transitioning is worth it even in this day and age + when you're older, and is also genuinely wonderful

I'm seriously gonna cry over this

[kayla-denker]

"It isn't socially acceptable to hate on trans women"

The entire political order of every western country has been calling for the eradication of trans women for almost a decade and no one has faced any negative repercussions for it. Trans women have no serious federal legal protections. It's entirely legal for anyone to fire a trans woman simply for being a trans woman and nothing bad happens to them, and it happens all the time. Every single one of us knows multiple trans women personally that has happened to, or it has happened to us personally, or both. Usually both.

Doesn't the shinigami eyes extension mark transphobia to trans men as green?

Hoo boy. This sure is a question! I'm gonna try breaking this down a bit.

Shinigami eyes is more useful for the red marks, not the green marks

The marks ARE community sourced, so it's not impossible

Honestly, though, that doesn't sound very likely! I think you're probably hearing talking points from people who don't like it when people push back against transmisogyny

I'm not sure how much you've been following the discourse, but there's this ongoing argument about the concept of "transandrophobia" as a counterpart to transmisogyny.

Transmisogyny is the intersection of two different kinds of sexism - oppositional and traditional. Traditional sexism is the idea that masculinity is superior to femininity. Oppositional sexism is the idea that male and female are rigid and mutually exclusive.

Trans men obviously suffer from transphobia and discrimination, and in the lens above, they are victims of oppositional sexism constantly. However, they are also beneficiaries of traditional sexism; there are advantages that trans men specifically have over trans women, even if access to those privileges is limited.

You can also understand transmisogyny as the unique phenomenon that arises from the intersection of transphobia and misogyny. In both of these understandings, "transandrophobia" is an unhelpful and counterintuitive idea, as it asserts that there is a unique form of discrimination levyed against men, which is a distinctly anti-feminist idea.

People who push back against this are generally not trying to deny the countless ways that trans men are discriminated against, rather, the misunderstanding of feminist ideas that allows "transandrophobia" to exist is something that allows people to shout down trans women trying to talk about our own oppression; it's a shallow desire to claim "transmisogyny for boys" which is, again, anti-feminist.

Some of what you're seeing is likely part of that debate - feminists discussing the ways in which feminist ideas are misinterpreted.

I'm curious to know where and how you got the idea that transphobia to trans men is something marked as green - i would be rather suspicious of anyone echoing that claim.

No more waiting, no more debating, go get your hrt. "I don't know if I'm really trans!" You are. Now go. "I'm scared!" We all were. Now go. "There's a long wait to be seen!" Go get your name on the list then. DIY if you need. "What if my friends don't accept me?" They weren't really your friends. Now go. "What if my spouse doesn't accept me?" Get a divorce. Now go. You do not need to continue to live in agony and depression to pretend to be someone else. Go get your hrt.

[maidslime]

The original incarnation of this post inspired SO MANY people to start hrt! I cannot help resolve every situation specifically, but most people can absolutely accomplish this step! If you want hrt GET IT

I’m convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more

[thatwasthenightthingschanged]

for context reasons, this is how a gif I used in a recent gifset looks like without any adjustments/coloring whatsoever:

and here it is afterwards:

[5ummit]

I truly don’t think people realize how dingy and dark most movies and tv shows actually are so they can’t appreciate the work and skill it takes to make gifs look the way your brain “remembers” it looking.

Another before and after example:

This gif needed 6 different adjustment layers, not including the sharpening process, which is its own separate challenge. The blue window was also changed to green to keep the palette more consistent and to reduce the range of colors needed, because a wider range of colors generally results in worse gif quality since gifs only support a max of 256 (compared to the millions your monitor can display).

[uuuhshiny]

yeah…

I was already going to reblog this because gifmakers need all the love, but the little lambie made sure that I was definitely going to do it.

[arcanegifs]

dark scenes are truly the bane of every gifmaker’s soul

[aha-my-villainous-thoughts]

The ecosystem of tumblr fandom relies on gif makers - put some respect on their names!!

when i was a tiny baby queer (aka a 24-year-old), i went to my first pride festival probably three months after i kicked ex-gay therapy to the curb and came out to my parents. being the people they are, my parents came with me. they weren’t really sure about this whole gay thing, but they loved me and wanted me to be safe and happy and wanted to be involved in what was important to me, so they came along. (i also think my mother still might have thought i might get drugged or murdered or beaten by a protester of which there were plenty.)

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

“…it’s a cock and a pussy, Jules,” she says flatly, and that is the story of how i died at the age of 24 while attending my first pride festival.

I love how every June this one gets dug up and passed around again, lmao.

[finnglas]

oh no is this what we’re doing now
