i'm just saying man

"there's nothing wrong with being effeminate." of course. and do you feel happy with how you look?

"i worry people would feel unsafe around me." do you feel safe around you?

"it would be hard for other people to adjust." and you think it'd be easier to suffer quietly?

"he/they is fine. i really prefer he/him, but i have to make it easier on other people." so you want to let other people decide your gender? again?

"if i'm going to be a man, i owe it to other people to be as soft, friendly, and nonthreatening as possible."

No. You don't.

this also applies to trans women who feel like they need to be hyperfem to have their gender taken seriously btw. No you don't. The only person who defines your gender is you. The time for people pleasing is over. You don't owe femininity, masculinity, or androgyny to anyone but yourself.

what im learning is that you cannot avoid your way into a life you enjoy

[mechatronophilia]

in that vein yeah i think categorizing the experience of being a trans man holding internalized misogyny as nothing unique from other forms of institutional misogyny, is a form of transandro-phobia. guilt over not being an ideal woman manifests different when you're a man and it doesn't disappear when you transition, it changes shape.

Random tumblr post I will never see when I need to see it, posted by a trans man that will get harassed off the platform for talking about the oppression he has faced: Trans men that turn into fat hairy men are so cool and I'm glad you're alive

[mechatronophilia]

a couple weeks ago i saw a post that was like "Trans men who still consider themselves lesbians are actually predators who just want to still be able to have sex with lesbians, and if you were really a man you'd stop" and it's still just perplexing. how can you care so much but evidently know so little about butch and transmasc history.

part of the diagnostic criteria for being a bear is that there's a man out there pretty enough to ruin your life at first sight but given the fact you hibernate four to seven months out of the year you;re usually safe
