transmascs who dont pass as cis men should still be treated with respect.
transmascs who dont want to pass as cis men are allowed to never pass.
transmascs who express their gender femininely are doing nothing wrong.
transmascs who are genderfluid, bigender, multigender, xenogender, etc. aren't less transmasc.
you don't need to conform to cis standards of masculinity to be transmasc.
transmasculinity holds a wide array of experiences of gender. each and everyone of us is unique.
what we all have in common is that we identify or express ourselves more masculinely than we have traditionally been expected to.
for some of us, the identity piece matters more than the outward expression.
for others of us, our identity and expression are opposites on the gender binary.
or maybe we don't really have a gender identity, or we werent AFAB, but we still find ourselves transitioning masculinely.
there's so many possibilities - many more than i've listed here. and that's what makes transmasculinity so incredible!
we've been taught all our lives that there is only one right way to be masculine - and that it was something we would never obtain for ourselves. something we were born to never touch.
but we still went for it. we discovered on our own and in community with others new, more inviting and fulfilling ways of being masculine.
we bring life to the world. all of us. our fems, femmes, fats, butches, bears, queers, genderfuckers, nonbinary people, microlabeled individuals, intersex transmascs...
transmasculinity is a gift to the world. truly.
