Once you start noticing the erasure and exclusion of trans mascs in everything from media to academics you can never stop noticing it
Back when I was in university we were asked to do a brief research exercise on a health condition impacting a community. Can't remember what I wanted to look at now, but it was something to do with the trans community.
Whatever it was, to put it this way, if there were 10 studies on the trans community as a whole, there were 3 on trans women and trans fems and 0 on trans men and trans mascs, and 0 on nonbinary people. All of the mixed studies were also pretty much useless for my purposes as well because they were all so lopsided.
I think I swapped to a bunch of different things - addiction rates, smoking, depression, mental health in general - nothing that was even roughly equal in looking at all of us. Trans men, trans mascs and nonbinary people are so under researched as to be nonexistent.
To keep this brief since I've rambled a bunch - this is a major issue health wise since we have not a lot of literature on what testosterone does to certain bodies. This can lead to major health complications, not because of the testosterone itself, but because there might be an interaction thats missed or a complication that's not noticed (which is the same for any medication that's under researched on certain bodies. This is not me scaring people off of hrt, this is me pointing out its a medication like any other.)
#the therapist who wrote my permission slip for hrt was a trans man#and during that appointment we talked about the erasure of trans men from basically everything#and i talked about an article i had read a week or so earlier about trans people and hiv#it very in depth about risks prevention treatment etc#except that it exclusively referenced trans women with a single sentence at the end basically saying 'oh trans men are at risk too'#less than a year later i saw that same therapist speaking at an hiv organization fundraising event#he talked about how he had just recently been diagnosed with hiv#and had to sit there while this doctor told him all about how the treatment options had never been tested on trans men#none of them#they knew that the treatment would work#but not how effective it would be in comparison to its effectiveness in other demographics#no idea what kind of side effects he might experience#how it would interact with his body and his hormones#what the long term effects would be#nothing#he had to sit there while his doctor told him he would have to be a guinea pig but its not like he has a choice#the only alternative is dying from aids#that whole thing was kind of a wake up call for me#and i started paying more attention getting tested regularly myself and all that sruff you're supposed to do#and over time i befriended the person who did most of my testing#they were also trans masc and we would talk about this kind of stuff#and i told them i wanted to get on prep but every doctor i asked had a wildly different answer on if i even could take it#which verison i could take etc#and they said that only one form of prep has been approved fot trans men but its never actually been tested on trans men#and that one version isnt good for long term use because it has some pretty serious side effects long term#and they said that they regularly go to conferences and meet with representatives from all these drug companies#and they ask 'wheres the data on trans men' 'when are you doing clinical studies on trans men'#and the answer#every single time is: we have not done any studies on trans men and we have no intention to ever do studies on trans men#this is not some passive result of trans masc invisibility it is an active act of erasure that needs to be recognized as an act of violence

I was gunna put this in the tags but it’s a lot. When i first started going through the process of getting a diagnosis, i was labelled with ODD. I immediately took issue with this, it seemed like an unfair diagnosis based entirely on the session the psychiatrist had with my parents (which mostly consisted of “my child is being really difficult on purpose”), and Hoo Boy when i tell you ODD immediately strips you of your ability to call out anyone on anything, that would be an understatement. I couldn’t even disagree or bring up my concerns about the validity of MY OWN DIAGNOSIS without it being labelled as oppositional defiance. Whenever i displayed any negative emotion the “treatments” did so much more harm than good. When you label someone as ‘defiant’ (ugh), when that word is put on their medical record, that person is never allowed to complain about anything again. Knowing that POC are disproportionately affected with this diagnosis makes me feel sick, i can only imagine what’s being swept under the rug as someone just being “defiant to authority”, not even just in the medical field but as justification for police brutality and mass incarceration. When i say medical racism kills people, this is what i mean.
this is so fucking important. reblog.

I was telling one of my friend about how I don’t have any OCs and I said ‘maybe I can make one of my DnD characters an OC’ and they deadass looked me straight in the eyes and told me that DnD characters count as OCs. my thoughts literally went out the window. Anyways so I am going to go expand on their art collection!

Old habits die hard 🫐🍦
My 3rd comic for my VIS2 class, the theme was “habit” and I found myself deciding between Smilk’s habit of not sleeping and Vanilla’s habit of skipping meals. This comic is actually based off a scrapped comic idea I’d originally written out back in October.
The colors took me a bit longer than usual, but I think it was worth it. Originally Shami’s room was going to be the same color scheme as Vanilla’s, since they’re in the Vanilla Castle, but I ended up changing it last minute to a distorted blue version.
I feel like if Shami were to come stay in the Vanilla Kingdom he’d modify whatever space he’d been given to fit his own aesthetics (to an extent). His room would be filled with books, artifacts, and most importantly, all his art projects. And since it’s his own personal room, it’d be more cluttered than other spaces since he doesn’t have to present it to anyone.
I’d like to, at some point, plan out both of their rooms fully (maybe for a longer comic or something), and maybe make 3D models of them. I want to give Vanilla’s room a little more personality, even though I feel he wouldn’t use it all too much (aside from maybe to sleep).
At some point later on, I’d love to make a more in depth comic about these two working through their mutual issue of not properly taking care of themselves- cause believe you me, Pure Vanilla is just as guilty as Shami is
so silly <3
