not enough girls know that they can actually grow up and become big hairy gay men :(
fat tboys how does it feel to be the realest motherfuckers on earth
Wow it’s almost like there is a certain demographic of men who is disproportionately affected by “women’s issues” (ie uterine healthcare rights) to the SAME extent cis women are (if not actively worse when it comes to certain things- there are statistics that reflect this).
It’s almost like there’s a group of men that is categorized by the patriarchy as definitively not being real men, like, at all (and being something even worse than a cis woman in the gender hierarchy, as we’re seen as “defected women” who didn’t stay in our “proper place” and therefore need to be punished).
And, it’s almost like the incredibly cisnormative centric feminist frameworks of thought and theory in the mainstream (even in queer/trans circles!) don’t account for us at all and we’re constantly erased from and pushed out of conversations about issues that directly fucking affect us.
But yeah, sure, let’s exclude the men who are actively being denied abortion rights (among other things) from feminism. Because obviously, simply identifying as a man means society largely accepts, views, and treats you as a man on both a systemic and personal level, and obviously, our Innate Internal Essence of Manhood grants us some kind of a magical get-out-of-patriarchal-oppression-free card. This is totally how it works.
Haters just hate to see cute trans boys enjoying their lives without guilt
i don't give a fuck any more. if you say "i hate trans men" on my blog your ass is getting blocked
What took you so long?
Some of us are too patient for our own good tbh
Truth Nuke:
This man is not the enemy
Your basic cis dude who identifies with sapphic is not a problem. If he has chatted with other sapphics and feels like his love for women and fems is more sapphic, and feels more in line with how they describe it vs how heterosexual men describe their attraction, then he's sapphic. End of story.
He's not the enemy. He's not a threat to queer rights. He's a sapphic man, end of story.
You want to know who the real enemy is?
This is the real threat to lesbian spaces, not some progressive cis man who feels that his attraction is best described as sapphic.
And yes, trans men and transmascs who call themselves sapphic or lesbians are also valid and again, not a threat to sapphic/lesbian spaces. Putting that out there before anyone thinks I feel otherwise.
I just know people have a much harder time grappling that cis men can be sapphic or lesbians, and thus chose to address that group in particular.
Work of art 🥰
I encourage all pre-op trans guys to revoke peoples rights to your pussy until they start actually treating you as a man and not just some exotic boypussy kink.
Like no, you DO NOT get to touch or even see my pussy until you stop treating it like some fetish sex object. Trans men are more than just their fucking masucline pussy with bottom growth and extra bush.
You do not get that juicy tguy pussy until you can act right. No cuntboy for you until you respect us as people.
Things People Don’t Mention About Top Surgery or Mastectomies
There is reluctance to do the surgery if you live alone, even if you have a good support system. One of the most stressful things was the hospital constantly asking about who would be looking after me, picking me up, etc. I really felt the bias towards people who are married and against people who are single. I don’t think it was intentional but it was definitely there. (Please read more about this situation here) That being said you will definitely need a robust support system of some kind to get through everything in the first 4 -8 weeks or more after surgery.
All your pill bottles will have safety caps and you won’t have the strength to open them on your own without a lot of struggling.
There are soooo many medications. Take them as prescribed and when they say take the level of pain meds you need to manage your pain, do it. I got opiods and ibuprofen. If the pain is bad 5-7+ on the 1-10 scale take the stronger meds. Pain can slow healing by causing stress on the body.
Drains are a pain in the ass. Every hour pushing the hoses so they don’t clog. Major drag but they are very important and if they get clogged it can cause issues
Sleeping sitting up, prepare for this. Lots of pillows or recliner or something. Practice for a week or more before surgery to get used to it.
Sleep as much as you need. Don’t feel like you should stay awake or whatever because you are supposed to or it is day time or whatever. Listen to your body.
Drink lots and lots of fluids. You may think you are drinking enough but you probably aren’t. The fluid in the drains and the medicines and peeing all the time and sweating from the tight wrap. You need to replace all of this fluid. I think I have been up around 80+ oz the past few days.
The month before and a month after surgery eat a high protein and higher calorie diet. It will help with surgery and recovery. You need the energy and the protein to recover.
Cut out added salt, caffiene, alcohol, and nicotine before surgery and during recovery. All of these can increase fluid retention, slow healing, or be dangerous with the meds.
Your chest will feel very strange. At first you can’t feel anything and then the skin feels tight everywhere and still strange. The recovery process feels real weird. Your whole torso feels kind of bizarre and new.
Ask all the questions. No question is stupid. It’s trauma to your body ask all the questions. YES all of them.
The tube (intubation) from surgery irritates the throat. Coughing from this sucks so damned much because of the binder and the chest tightness and what not. Find lozenges (Both cough drops and just candy) that you like. I say candy because too many cough drops can upset the stomach and you don’t need that after anesthesia and with all the meds. Also get popsicles.
Take everything out of packages you can before surgery. They are damned hard to open. Those paper cartons holding the apple sauce and snapping apart pudding cups and pulling apart pill blister packs.. ugh I should have taken them apart before the surgery.
Scissors are your friend and every package is an enemy. Seriously, get a good pair of scissors for packaging.
Also, skip 2 liters of pop, gallon of milk, etc. They will be too heavy to pick up after surgery. You can be more independent if you get smaller size things.
Timers are your friend. All the phone timers forever. Also, handwritten or some other chart type to keep track of drain cleaning and taking meds. You will be sleepy and forgetful the first few days. Use other things to help you keep track.
Take stock of how your lights go on and off. Can you reach them while pretending you are a T-Rex. If not, especially ceiling fans and that, put long strings on the pulls so that you can operate them while you can’t raise your arms.
Also check your doors to make sure they don’t stick. You won’t be able to tug hard on doors or drawers or whatever.
Get yourself some treats. Food related or clothing or whatever. Treats will help.
Before surgery plan out and prepare at least a week of meals. Be sure to include some that are easy on the stomach like crackers, rice and chicken, etc. Just in case you have stomach upset from the anesthesia or meds. Gentle foods include starches and chicken/tofu that is low fat and low spice so that it is gentle.
Soft fuzz free and easy to get on clothing is essential. I went out and got a couple of those shorts and button down shirt pajama sets. Life savers. Also, get a size or two bigger than usual to accommodate drains and padded bandages and things.
Strange pains, you will probably have them.
Be sure to do the arm exercises as directed by your surgeon and watch your shoulders hunching. The shoulder hunching is from the chest tightness but you don’t want your back to start hurting. Try to sit up as straight as you can.
Pump action soap dispensers will be too hard to use the first few days.
Weeks before surgery, start teaching yourself how to do things without your arms; like standing up, getting into and out of bed, squatting, getting up from chairs, etc. Practice doing things with your elbows next to your chest like a t-rex; getting food and drinking, brushing teeth, taking meds, etc This will be very important
I am sure there are more but I thought some of you might benefit from the things I have learned so far from going through surgery.
no see trans men have plenty of rep you have vagina mcdoomedtomotherhood I know he’s not perfect but you can’t complain surely you can relate to having a vagina and child rearing plus he’s all you get also he dies also he’s played by a cis woman
I love transmasc creatives.
I love your art, I love your writing, I love the characters you create. I love the songs you write and the movies you act in.
There can never be enough transmasc creatives and transmasc representation in the world. Every single piece of art made by a trans person makes the world a better, more enjoyable place.
Transmasculine cowboys.........
i love not being a sex negative reactionary freak unlike the people that piss themselves over me in anger
"Salem your portrayal of non op transmascs are too evil and horny"
Kay. 1, I look like that, 2, suck my (hypothetical) dick and balls
i hate the idea that drawing trans people especially non passing trans people/trans ppl with clocky traits with desirability and sexuality is seen as evil, especially parroted by leftist who still hold onto puritan beliefs about sexuality.
it's extremely transphobic to me that us trans people cannot express ourselves without being policed to hell
reblog this version please:
but I feel like the biggest thing that comes with the weird negativity towards my transgender art is the fatphobia and racism, but ESPECIALLY fatphobia. fat characters should be allowed to be depicted with a sexuality.
does anyone know if we have transmasc and transfem love and friendship today
We do. And tomorrow and the next day and every day forever and ever and ever too. :)
a long time ago i was struggling with being transmasc because i felt like i was betraying womanhood somehow. then one of my best friends came out as a trans woman and i realised "ah... there will always be so many beautiful women in the world, so it's okay that i'm not one of them". what i'm trying to say is you need to love each other or there's no point to any of this
in a reversal of this. when i came out as transfem i was almost dissapointed because i spent so long trying to be a truly good man. i was raised with a lot of shitty guys so i tried to be the most pro-feminist comfortable dude i could be for the women around me. when my egg cracked, i almost felt this feeling of "shit, are the only men who think like this secretly women inside?" and it feels nice to see that proven so utterly and completely wrong by the trans men i know in my life. i love seeing people take on the masculinity i hated and do amazing shit with it, god bless trans dudes
"you can't be a trans boy and like your boobs/be gender non conforming!!!"
me:
sigh ...you all have the reblog pass
