ZANDer i just MET her he/him

i love trans men and being a trans man. not just for the fact that i "got to experience being a woman", but because right now i'm experiencing being a man. that is a good thing. being a man is a good thing, no matter what tumblr echo chambers and the off terf lgbt group/space says.

i love boyhood. i love being my mother's son. i love being the random boy in a girl's friend group. i love the cracks, the cravings, the hair growing oddly, and the constant sexuality crisis. i love all the "rough and tumble" and the mess and being the "little guy". i love getting pissed when my friends scruff up my hair. i love punching my wall and silently cursing from the pain. i love eating ice cream with my teeth. i love how my hair is thick and my eyebrows are dark and my posture is hunched and aloof. while this isn't everyone's boyhood, it's mine. i love being exactly who i am.

no amount of rants, fear-mongering, slurs, dog whistling, or invisibility is going to stop me from being trans or a man. so i'm not going to try. i love being a whiny, offensive transandrobro. i love being me.

the yearning this man has should be studied

You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?

If I told you I wrote this while thinking about the dangers of being visibly trans vs never trying to transition at all, happiness followed by a bright, burning end, smacking hard against a concrete ocean vs playing it too safe and never flying high, dooming you to a cold, crushing end from drowning, You'd believe me, right?

chronic pain kicking my butt. had to put large pack of frozen king prawns on leg at 23:53. not happy

[casivarn]

who the fuck even uses "pretty boy" as an insult any more I thought we all came to the agreement that all it does is make you sound like you want to stick your tongue down the other guy's throat

happy pride month

artist only draws trans men as skinny hairless white short twinks -> "no that's not what trans men look like! how stereotypical and wrong!" -> only draws trans men as passing fat hairy bears (whoa still white) -> "that's just a transphobic caricature!" -> only draws trans men as skinny hairless white

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

Hey so... Top Surgery!!

Things are finally falling into place. Going so long without top surgery has been a struggle, it's a serious detriment to my mental health and my quality of life.

I feel like every day I have to choose between physical comfort and being depressed and anxious/overly mindful of my chest all day, or having mental peace while my body aches and I sit in pain for a while.

My HRT provider said she's gonna do all she can to help my top surgery get covered by insurance, but unfortunately there is no guarantee it will be covered, especially by the surgeon I've chosen who has a very quality reputation, is in my area, and openly works with queer and trans folks (as well as non-white demographics).

I'm able to pay the consultation fee on my own, and I work full time. But I'm also in school, I live alone, pay rent, pay bills, tuition, groceries, and take care of a cat. Even if I were to put all my remaining cash in savings every month, I don't think it would be enough to help me with the overall surgery cost by the time my surgery date comes around, so I'm getting the jump on raising funds for it!

Donate to D's Top Surgery Fund, organized by D Valde

Heyo! My name is D. I'm a trans man currently full time employed but also enrolled part-time in c… D Valde needs your support for D'

I'll be posting updates in regard to my insurance situation, how the consultation goes, and everything else related to the journey.

If I'm able to fit it into my schedule between work, school, and my own leisure time (that I need to not go insane), I might also open up some limited art and/or short ASMR vid commissions to help raise funds for it as well.

[iridescentdepths]

I had my consult a month ago and I am ready to go for top surgery in about 6 months, the last piece of the puzzle is getting the funds.

I will be pulling some crazy overtime in the coming months to hopefully be able to afford my surgery costs, insurance is not accepted by my chosen surgeon but there's no one else I'd rather go with since he's doing a custom surgery method tailored to my body and has very thorough experience with the trans community, as well as only being 2 hours away from where I live by car.

Since it's officially June, I would really appreciate whatever help people would be able to offer to maybe make the coming months less taxing for me and the hours I'll be working to make up the amount.

If you can't donate please share at least, thank you 🙏🏽
