on another note, it's also... i don't know. i think it's really vile how, within some of these radfem queer spaces, trans men and nonbinary people are often lumped into "less queer" transness together... does that make sense?

when a lot of radfem queer people talk about trans women, for instance, they'll talk about how much of a struggle it is to transition socially and materially. but then some of those same people will turn around and act like nonbinary people are just quirky people who dress androgynously so their social issues don't REALLY matter because absolutely 100% none of them are as "serious" about their transitions. and then trans men are either slotted into that same category OR they're "basically a cis man" in a derogatory way that implies they don't deserve to be in the community if they pass at all.

anytime someone calls a he/him only trans man “they” an angel loses its wings

"if men could get pregnant-" they can. "if men got periods-" they do. "men never experience-" they do. "men would never understand-" i promise you whatever you are about to say there are men who go through the exact same thing

this is one of the worst scenes in the entire show gripping and tearing out my hair. and then he literally goes to hell.

[tofutomato]

you gotta read, you gotta write, you gotta draw, you gotta watch films and shows. there is literally NO time to be employed

[dumbass-transboy]

If you are not a trans man or in active community with trans men in real life, you cannot comment on the lived experiences of trans men. Full stop.

[tboy-cock]

happy pride! if you tell cis passing masculine trans men that they "look like theyd hatecrime you" you owe every cis passing masculine trans man $200

[tboy-cock]

this is literally two sentences and the first sentence only has 2 words. you should be embarrassed

I have had 3 notably VERY WHITE people say exactly that to me over the last 2 years, all either in queer venues or at Pride (the LGBT community centre, a trans Pride event, and at a conference I was speaking at) and every time I have replied with something along the lines of "Yeah, I know, white people can't look at a Gypsy without thinking we're violent, it's a huge problem."

The way that every single one uses the exact phrasing of "look like (you/they) would hatecrime me" makes me think that there was some viral skit that has made this seem like an acceptable thing to say to trans men, rather than it being totally original and spontaneous thoughts.

I've known a number of non binary people in my life and I think single biggest conclusion I can draw from that is that non binary people are not the same. Like if Men fit in box A and women fit in box B, people really, really want nonbinary people to fit in a theoretical box C, and it just doesn't work like that. They are outside the boxes. They defy any simple categorization because they are not a third way of being, but every other possible way of being.

Being supportive of binary people is relatively simple, they have decided to sort themselves into one of the boxes that we have lots of experience interacting with. Being supportive of nonbinary people can be comparatively tricky, because you have to resist the urge to create box C and drop them all there. That's how we end up with various prejudices like "woman lite". Humans really, really like to categorize things. It helps us think. Unfortunately, sometimes it helps us think wrong.

If you have a non binary person in your life, I think it is important to take the extra effort to learn about them specifically.

this “bon appetit” meme has turned into some sort of bizarre telephone game where each incarnation sounds more and more different than the original. in what way does “bon appetit” sound like “osteoporosis”

[lady-dainty]

i don’t know but it’s cracking me up every time i even think about it

[catrad0rable]

bon appetit -> bone apple teeth -> bone ??? ??? -> osteoporosis

[transcrowleyy]

this has layers, man

[chiimeramanticore]

i wanna see more art of trans men with boobs where the point of the art is anything other than the fact that they have boobs. i want the idea of trans men with breasts to stop being novel. i want people to stop perceiving trans men as only either having already had top surgery or always binding. i want people to stop assuming everyone with visible breasts is a woman or woman-aligned. i want breasts to become a completely genderless feature. i wanna be allowed to let em hang without being misgendered. i wanna be able to stop worrying about what to put on my chest every day for the sake of other people's perception of me without feeling pressured into getting expensive surgery. i want that to stop being the only two options for transmascs

term coining proposal for radically inclusive transness: 🏳️‍⚧️ neotrans*

neotrans / neotrans* : an umbrella term for all individuals who seek to embrace their own gender and sex nonconformity**; regardless of identity, expression, or physical traits.

neotransgender: a term for any individual whose experience of gender does not align with social expectations based on sex or gender assignment, socially imposed gender identity or roles, and innate sex characteristics; regardless of nouns or pronouns utilized to describe gender identity (sic. experience of gender).

neotranssexual: a term for any individual whose relationship to their body does not align with social expectations based on sex or gender assignment, socially imposed gender identity or roles, and innate sex characteristics; regardless of nouns or pronouns utilized to describe gender identity (sic. experience of gender).

neotransmasculine: a term for any trans individual whose identity or desired transition involves masculinity of any kind; regardless of physical appearance. (neotransmasc)

neotransfeminine: a term for any trans individual whose identity or desired transition involves femininity of any kind; regardless of physical appearance. (neotransfem)

neoagender: a term for any individual who does not experience an innate sense of gender; may or may not choose to perform gender, identify with gendered terminology, or transition (internally, socially, medically, or legally).

neogenderfluid: a term for any individual whose relationship to gender changes over any given period of time (minutes, days, years, etc.); may or may not choose to alter performance of gender, terminology, or transition.

(and so on, through the transgender and transsexual modalities)

**i am defining gender and sex nonconformity here as a experience of body and mind which does not conform to the sex-gender binary -- defining transness not just by incongruent identity compared to birth assignment -- but more so the queer self expression, transgressive social roles/systems, and acceptance of divergent sex traits that drive our community forward.

in my full uncensored opinion: we are shooting ourselves in the foot by treating verbally communicable internal experiences like the end all be all of transness -- while defining our existence primarily by association with binary concepts and gender-sex categorization at birth -- and treating nonbinary and intersex people like afterthoughts, despite us being seen as "proof" or the binaries falsehoods -- when All Of Us Are Proof.

it is ass backwards**

also i added the asterisk back as a reminder to fight exorsexism and intersexism for the sake of us all.

as a trans girl, i think we should kill transandrophobes. they make me so angry. we should be protecting our brothers, not bullying them. this shit doesn't help anyone except for the people who want us divided.

[cyborgjaguarshaman]

I made a really shitty comic about the current transmasc vs transfem infighting in the trans community. We're all going to the same concentration camp either way, so I don't see the point.
