Intro!!

Hi! I'm riley/riot, any pronouns work for me I honestly don't care anymore

I'm trans masc, I took testosterone for about a year to get my voice to where I wanted and other facial androgyny reasons

I've lived in a couple different cities and towns including Chicago

I'm a very mediocre bassist but I've been in a small handful of bands over the past few years (I recommend looking up THE BAND tubgirl, two awesome queer dudes making metal music [close to grindcore], I used to work with them)

Otherwise:

- I'm a married man

- I'm here to focus on positivity and the beauty of life in general

- I have 3 cats and a terrible malinois (who I love)

- I dropped out of high-school in the middle of my senior year but I've just restarted college in order to receive a degree in early childhood education

- I've worked with a few galleries in Chicago, as well as studios, theaters and opera houses

- I've had a good smattering of jobs, my favorite being a bartender for a movie theater

- mental health is a huge issue I struggle with, depression being the biggest one

i open the lesbian tag. i see 20 posts about gold star lesbians in a row. i close the lesbian tag

[butchdykekondraki-moved]

you guys realize "gold star lesbian" is a terf/radfem term right. you guys realize that term is made to indicate you've never slept with/dated a man and is specifically used to indicate you've never slept with a trans woman in modern lesbian spaces right. you guys know that term is used specifically to call cis4t lesbian relationships straight right. you guys know about the transphobia in the gold star lesbian community right. rights guys. right.

Hey, if you're a minor and you're following my blog, I just need you to be aware:

You have been on this earth for fewer years than my cat has.

She turns 20 this week, everyone please say happy birthday 🥳💖

[dakt37]

Update! She tolerated wearing a hat for the occasion ✨

[dakt37]

Good news, everyone!! 🎉

Can you guys stop calling grown ass adult trans men ‘boys’ it’s getting weird. I just saw someone call a 40 year old a boy and I think I’m going to go insane.

That isn’t a soft little uwu boy that is a grown ass man.

[yaoiboypussy]

This also goes for reverse for trans girls. The amount of times I’ve seen a 13 year old be called a trans women instead of a trans girl in the news is kind of crazy. That’s not an adult women - That’s a child. That’s a girl.

[somesortapunk]

It's adultification of people they view as predatory or dangerous (transfemmes and mtf people) plus infantilizaton of people they view as misguided, feminine, or lacking autonomy (transmascs and ftm people)

[lycandrophile]

in 2024 i want to see more songs sung in t voices, more grown-out t scruff, more hairy tits and top surgery scars, more gay sex involving t dicks and pussies, more cutting each other’s hair when the hairdressers can’t get it right, more helping each other with t shots and sharing extra bottles of t gel, more passing down binders and post-surgery pillows like family heirlooms, more crackly laughs and excited voices that don’t know how loud they are now, more proudly showing off phallo scars like we show off top surgery scars, more teaching each other how to shave and tie a tie and all the other things our dads didn’t teach us, more sheer shirts over post-op chests, more skirts and short shorts on hairy legs, more moving the fuck out instead of living with transphobic parents, more breaking up with partners that wanted girlfriends not boyfriends, more pregnant dads, more twinks turned into otters and bears by t, more scars and binders on the beach, more romanticization of t dicks and meta dicks and phallo dicks, more rage and resistance against anyone who would try to rob us of our history or our ancestors, more pride in complex manhoods and queer masculinities, more getting louder every time someone tells us to shut up about the things that are important to us, more searching for transmasculinity in every piece of media and injecting it into anything that failed to consider us, more cuntboys and boygirls and transfags and butch dudes and transsexual men, more jumping headfirst into masculinizing transitions, more delighted reactions to realizing “holy shit i think i’m actually a guy”, more trans manhood and transmasculinity as force of nature and fundamental truth and fact of life that cannot under any circumstances be ignored.

[thegoobersystem]

Can I add one? If so

more people wearing their binders outside

[thexie-and-stars]

I want to see more people swimming in their binders and trans tape. I've gone swimming in my binder before and it feels freeing

[virovirokun-has-adhd]

prev this is actually incredibly unsafe and you could risk high levels of damage to your ribs and other organs by doing this

im sure what prev means is try buy swiming binders to swim in so you dont get yourself dangerously hurt

[thexie-and-stars]

Correct! I swim in a swim binder, and it feel great

Swimming in binders tips!!

(22 year old trans masc, I've been binding since I was 14, I took swim classes in highschool while binding, me and my friends would often go to the beach after work and school)

If you can't afford a binder made for swimming in or you don't have any idea where to look/don't like the brands or options here's what I did:

1) make sure your binder is safe! (I used old Gc2b) avoid all around elastic and clip binders

2) if the binder is not made for working out or swimming in, buy it a size or two up,it may not be AS flattening but you'll be so much more comfortable trust me

3) bring a change, don't walk around in a wet binder, not fun, leads to body acne

Enjoy your summers! Keep expressing yourselves, keep loving each other

Gender is a journey, experience as much as you can

i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they're like "uhm... translate? 😒" fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don't need to know what they're saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY

[kragehund-est]

i sent this meme to 7 people, and 4 of them asked me to translate for them. i legitimately do not think that was necessary.

Even if I didn’t have a solid plan, in the back of my head, I always assumed I’d kill myself.

Now I’m an adult and people my age have their lives in order and I’m stuck here, confused, because I never planned to be alive and I’m so far behind.

I feel like I’ll never catch up.

[traumasurvivors]

Hey all.

I want to make an addition to this. I made this post a long time ago.

I’m currently back in university, and I’ve made so much progress with my trauma. I’m in a loving relationship.

Things can and will get better. It’s not too late.

Nothing is perfect by any means. But I’m happy I’m still here and didn’t kill myself. I hope you get to that point, too 💕

[traumasurvivors]

The addition is important! I see the original post circulating a lot, but the addition is important!

[traumasurvivors]

New addition two years later. I’m still going strong!

I’m getting married. I’m still in that loving relationship.

I’ve learned that there’s no real timeline. It’s okay. And while it sucks that I lost time, there’s still so much for me to experience and enjoy.

[traumasurvivors]

Newest addition. 7 years after the original post!

I got married last month! My dog is laying on me snoring. I’ve learned to have healthy friendships and relationships. I’ve learned that I’m not alone and that even when things are hard, I’m going to be okay.

[psychotic-gerard]

I LOVE SCHIZOPHRENICS, GIVING TEENAGERS HRT, REFUGEES, FREE HOUSING FOR ALL AND SHITTY GRAFFITI.

reblog this post to remind the person you reblogged it from that they’re valued and loved and seen

[enamorxte]

REBLOG IF YOU HAVE STRETCHMARKS

This way people can see they’re not alone. I have them and this would help me see that.
