talking about stuff like prison reform or the SO registry really quickly makes you realize how many peoples political ideology boils down to "look, just tell me who the bad people are so I know who we should be killing."

Once you start noticing the erasure and exclusion of trans mascs in everything from media to academics you can never stop noticing it

burning-gray-mon

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

And then people say things like that when we point out that we're just.... Actively erased and ignored.

support-for-the-suicidal

Suicidism and transphobia is being told I don't need gender affirming care unless I'm suicidal from gender dysphoria but also that if I'm suicidal I shouldn't get to make my own decisions like getting gender affirming care

This is suicidism and transphobia.

interspadias

fun fact: debates about if being transgender is a choice or not are irrelevant, because the fundamental truth is of bodily autonomy - a right that should never be seen as conditional or requiring a suitable, immutable condition.

people who are trans deserve the right to transition, not because it’s a medical treatment or because dysphoria can be classified as a mental illness but because we’re human beings who should be allowed to do whatever the fuck we want to our own bodies! this is a basic human right!

Terfs are so fuckin weird about transmasculinity bro like I swear yall treat us like we all killed a wo-ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

this-is-trans-solidarity

btw if we were in a world where trans men had the same exact privileges as cis men no matter what, then everyone would have the same privileges as cis men no matter what. just food for thought.

Biological sex categories are just as loose & socially constructed as gender categories, & there is 0 reason for trans women to be excluded from being biological women, or trans men from being biological men.

Non-binary folks can identify as biologically non-binary even!

Biological sex being a social construct doesn’t mean your reproductive/sex characteristics don’t exist, it merely means the way we categorize those characteristics is socially constructed.

Hard block from me. Including mutuals.

Reminder that the money she gets from HP goes directly into making trans folks' lives harder and worse.

Don't give that slop any free advertising.

"JKR wants trans women dead and any support of her IP goes towards that goal!"

"Yes, true! Though the same also counts for trans men and other genderqueer people, all trans people's rights (especially in the UK) are endangered by the political influence she's wielding, that witch hates us all and wants all of our rights gone."

"Omggg can you birthday boys not make everything about MEN for FIVE SECONDS???? Fucking transandrodorks again. Blocked."

→ There is a difference between derailing a post and pointing out that the whole of a community is affected by an issue, not just a sub-section. Refusing to acknowledge that is part of the exact hyperinvisibility we keep trying to explain. Have some solidarity with your brothers and siblings please, they're scared for their rights and lives too. An invisible minority is a dead minority.

How are we at a point now where "trans men and transmascs don't experience gender euphoria" is a real fucking take that I'm seeing people post and agree with? "Oh, trans men and transmascs will never understand the moment when you finally put on a dress or skirt and feel like yourself-" chest binders. Packers. Getting a short haircut. Being called "sir" by a stranger instead of "miss" or "ma'am." Growing facial hair. What's even really being said here, that we don't experience gender euphoria, or that our gender euphoria is less significant?

the next time somebody tries to do that whole powerscaling whose puberty is worse thing and over-glorifying estrogen, I'm gonna start explaining the mechanisms of fibroids, endometriosis (1 in 10! 1 in 10 people who undergo estrogenic puberty will develop endometriosis), adenomyosis, etc. because there's no way in hell that you're telling me estrogenic puberty is "less bad" than androgenic puberty when estrogenic puberty frequently results in a disease that highly resembles fucking cancer

i think completely pre transition trans people should be able to wear one tiny little pronoun pin and get gendered correctly every time. i think cis people should be transitioning just for the fun of it if they want to. i think you should be able to walk into any pharmacy and just buy hrt. i think that little boys should be able to sit in circles and play with dolls and paint each other's nails and make friendship bracelets. i think that little girls should be able to play with flaming monster trucks and play football and get competitive over video games. i think that arson (he/it/paw) should have paw's identity respected and treated as completely normal. i think that we should normalize neopronouns and weird genders and being weird or unusual in general. you should be able to explain your weird one of a kind xenogender to the least queer person on the planet and they should say "oh that's cool!! haven't heard of that gender before". you should be able to wear a tail in public you should be able to make out with your computer if you want i don't fucking care. i love transgenders i love neurodivergent people i love furries i love everyone outside the norm i love freaks i love nerds i love everyone.

perverted-asexual

If you see me say transandrophobe and immediately jump on the defence of trans women YOU are the one making the assumption that all trans women are transandrophobes, not me.

99% of trans women I have spoken to are lovely, kind-hearted people and in general a whole community should never be blamed for the fault of some. Transandrophobia doesn't inherintly come from only trans women anyway, cis people can be, and often are, the ones pushing these ideals. I've spoken to trans men who deny the idea that trans men can be oppressed!
