Hello, and welcome to my blog: man-squared. You can call me F or my blog name.

Pronouns: they / them / theirs and he / him / his

Lately, I have not had the ability to properly tag all posts. I try here and there, but I would recommend for anyone who needs possibly triggering posts to filter (block the tag) out #untagged. I hope to one day go through them and actually tag them, but I have no idea when and if that will happen. Thank you for understanding, and it's perfectly fine if you need to block or unfollow me because of this.

I do not post donation posts on this blog. From now on, if you send me a post about donation posts on this blog, I will not answer, but I might reblog to my main blog.

Below you will find posts about the blog (about me, tags, my boundaries) as well as image descriptions for my current profile picture (also can be found under #pfps). I do not have a blog banner, but if that changes, there will be a description below.

I am fucking BEGGING transmascs (and everyone else) to not let the animosity of a VERY SMALL GROUP of very online transfems impact how you interact with transfems or think about transfems.

please, please, please remember that this "hating transmascs" and "kill all TMEs" bullshit is just a few edgy weirdos on the internet who enjoy saying inflammatory things for shock value.

transfems are not your enemy, and YES, you do actually need to unlearn transmisogyny. Not because you're transmasc, but because we live in a transmisogynistic society.

transfems are not a hivemind, there's no broader transfem consensus that transmascs are Evil Privileged Abusers, but the small group of people who think that way WANT you to believe that they are representative of trans women everywhere. they're super not. they really are just a handful of angsty people online looking for someone to pick on.

all trans people have more commonalities than differences. there aren't two distinct species of trans people from two different planets, there are just trans people with a wide diversity of experiences and walks of life. we are all affected by the same systems of oppression.

find community and mutual support with transfems. build solidarity and have conversations about how we can help each other. the only way we all get through this shit is together.

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

i used to hear a lot of "you're not really a man, you just hate how women are treated" directed at trans men, and lately i've been hearing a lot of "if you don't like how women are treated, you're probably not actually a woman" directed at women, and i've gotta say i'm not a fan of either of these.

[jazzyloveswomen]

Perisex trans people you have to actually listen to intersex people and not just occasionally remember we exist when it's time to use us as a talking point. This means you need to accept that our relationships with things like agab and sig will be fundamentally different from perisex people's. This means you need to accept that we will not fit neatly into any model in which you separate people or make assumptions on lived experiences or needs based on agab.

[orteil42]

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

Cookie clicker if it was trans… estrogen and testosterone cookies…

happy pride month to the transmascs, the queer platonics, the aroaces, the people who are unlabeled, the people with internalized homophobia/aphobia/transphobia, the people who don’t care abt labels, and the people with conflicting labels

sexism in medicine kills people. racism in medicine kills people. fatphobia in medicine kills people. queerphobia in medicine kills people. classism in medicine kills people. ableism in medicine kills people.

do not downplay people’s fears about being mistreated because they are a part of a marginalised group. it is a matter of life and death and you should be angry about it.

[queertations]

"For example, trans women often deal with harassment and bullying before coming out for not conforming to male gender norms, and then face intense transmisogyny after coming out. While transphobes will claim that trans women’s 'male socialization' gives them an advantage over cisgender women, the reality is that trans women are usually subjected to far greater levels of discrimination, harassment, and assault—not less.

"People often assume this means trans men must have the opposite experience, coasting through life with male privilege. This is untrue. Trans men face misogyny both before and after coming out, on top of being denied access to scholarships, networking opportunities, and safe spaces set up for women and nonbinary people. This is especially true for trans men who come out later in life. Even those who live 'stealth' and keep their trans status a secret commonly struggle with issues like access to basic preventative and reproductive care.

"Nonbinary people are often not taken seriously or treated as their professed gender, and seen as androgynous women making a political statement. Masculine nonbinary people rarely have our existence acknowledged at all. Updating one’s identity documents is already a long and complex process, but in most of the U.S., nonbinary people aren’t able to apply for accurate identification at all. Even in states that allow the option, legal forms and state programs rarely acknowledge the nonbinary IDs they have issued."

Transgender experiences are not monolithic—and we need to stop pretending that they are by Orion Rodriguez

[vampiricvenus]

We're in the fascist tradwife, stay-at-home girlfriend, revoked abortion access apocalypse, and people who otherwise are sensible still refuse to admit that most likely means an exacerbated violent hatred for women who just point blank will not voluntarily partner up with a man.

[vampiricvenus]

"I'm quickly realizing that society sees women partnering up with whatever man wants them as their social duty, and they'll be met with violence of one degree or another if they refuse."

"This in no way will affect the lesbian population, let alone violently. They're actually exempt from this pressure. Somehow."

As Aromantic Visibility Day (June 5th) approaches this year, friendly reminder from an aroace: it's Aromantic Visibility Day, not "Aroace" Visibility Day! Not all aromantics are also asexual — there are aromantics who are allosexual (aroallos for short), aromantics who don't separately label their sexual orientation at all, and aromantics whose sexual orientation doesn't fit into an ace/allo binary, as well as likely even more aros who don't fit into "aroace" for even more reasons — and all of them are equally included in Aromantic Visibility Day, because they are equally aromantic! In fact, those aros who aren't ace are disproportionately erased and in need of visibility, even more than aroaces are (which is really saying something, because aroace visibility itself is already terrible), so including them in Aromantic Visibility Day is vital, and using the correct name for the occasion instead of calling it an "aroace day" is a start.

Overall: again, speaking as an aroace myself, we aroaces will not be offended if you just call Aromantic Visibility Day the thing it is actually called! I care about sharing this upcoming day with my fellow aros, so stop excluding them, even accidentally! We aroaces celebrate this day but it is not for us exclusively!

[dark-spirit-tamamoland]

they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically

[puppetstuffing]

[puppetedlove]

[tamamowand]

QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

[thequeenoftheentiregoddamnworld]

Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone

[combeauferre]

what a great day to remember that all aces and aros belong in the lgbt community

"All masculinity is awarded"

BLACK MEN ARE DYING! MASC BLACK WOMAN ARE DYING! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[punk-pandame]

cannot remember if it was here or elsewhere, but i saw a post the other day that said something to the effect of: trans mascs/trans men don't have our own culture or symbols. which seemed wild to me because i can name several things that are associated with trans mascs/men. so... an incomplete list*

animals + creatures

seahorses - often as part of the phrase "seahorse dad", which is used most often to describe a trans masculine gestating parent/pregnant trans man or trans masc person

werewolves - often associated with changes on T. includes: all-over body hair growth; muscle growth and fat redistribution; having to pay particular attention to lunar cycles/having a "time of the month"; perception by others as unpredictably aggressive and dangerous

clothing and appearance

flannel of plausible deniability - used by both closeted and out trans mascs/trans men. frequently layered with other clothing, like tees. often used by lesbians, queer women and gnc women as well, allowing a degree of ambiguity with regard to one's identity while still being able to signal in-group status to other queer/lgbtq+ people.

dysphoria sweatshirt/hoodie - sweatshirt that makes trans masculine people/trans men feel more comfortable with their chests, often because of a baggy silhouette that hides the presence of breasts. sometimes also a comfort object.

jock straps - considered a staple of gay male culture, jock straps are often also worn by gay and mlm trans men. innovations to the garment for trans men and mascs can include flat front styles, packer and stp-specific pockets, and strap-on/packer harness capability.

tattoos to disguise top surgery scars - these can take many visual forms, but most follow a path beneath the pectoral muscle and are used to hide top surgery scars for both stealth and non-stealth trans men and mascs. common imagery includes barbed wire, plants, and abstract designs.

names

"trans guy names" - names often used by trans men and mascs due to popularity and simplicity. usually fit current baby name trends rather than naming trends for the time said person was born: think aiden, kai, topher, jayden, etc.

monosyllabic names - for some reason also often associated with trans men and mascs: think ash, max, hitch, jude, chase, sam, etc.

"grandpa" names - longer names often associated with trans men and mascs that typically belong to older generations. often also inspired by literature: think leroy, jonathan, edward, percy, etc.

feel free to add ig v('-')v

*none of these things are inherent or exclusive to trans men and mascs. all queer and lgbtq+ people and communities are more alike than they'll ever be different due to shared histories and broad overlap between sub-communities. this is also coming from a western/usamerican lens. this is not meant to be all-encompassing. this post was not written with the intent to cause arguments or discourse. do not use this post or list to disparage other queer and lgbtq+ people or groups.
