talking to other trans guys who have been traumatized by transandrophobic harrassment/abuse from other trans people is really comforting in a way that im not alone but also it makes me so fucking angry on behalf of trans men
As an older queer, allow me to say: the walls of the closet are load-bearing. It is our job as a community to stand in front of that door and tell everyone who wants to peek inside to fuck off.
There are so many reasons a person may choose not to come out and there is no reason a person would owe the public or a stranger that information. Certainly it's not owed simply because someone is famous.
We have fought for decades to make it safer for people to be open and authentic about themselves, but we are not yet there. And even if we were, the closet would still be something we need to maintain for those who are not ready to reveal that part of themselves.
May we never become so obsessed with representation that we forget the sanctity of privacy.
You know, one of my favourite things about Ryland Grace is how sociable he is. How easy it is for people to fall into his orbit. They show it time and time again. How much his students obviously love him, how he manages to hype up the dour suits whilst he's testing the astrophage, Carl playing with him in the Home Depot, the other government people eating his Skittles, Eva Stratt dragging him around everywhere and allowing herself to be just that little bit more vulnerable around him, Rocky and the Eridians embracing him as not just as a savior but family.
I know it's not explicit that Grace is aroace but so often, aroace people are portrayed as distant and independent and happily isolated. Sometimes even to the point of misanthropy. It's so nice to see a character like this who loves connecting with people. He's a rambler, he's excitable. So what if he doesn't have a family or a dog. He doesn't need them because he has everyone he meets and that's enough.

the thing re: survivorship bias is that the fact that we see significantly fewer--almost none, tbh--clocky trans men throughout history, but we DO see people in varying degrees of "female impersonator" "cross-dresser" etc. who are not even trying to fully pass, but instead express themselves, says quite a lot about the survivability of transmasculinity in a harrowing and disturbing way. because like. where the fuck are they. they had to have existed. why aren't they there. why are they nonexistent in the record? but to ask such questions would require asking whether transmasculinity is survivable to a lesser or greater extent than other forms of transness, and that disrupts many dominant narratives within our communities. so it goes unnoticed and unchallenged
i hate how frequently pericis gay men feel comfortable talking loudly and openly about how they feel about trans men's bodies, specifically whether or not they'd fuck somebody with a vagina. i hate how this is such a non-topic to most of them that they feel ay okay discussing that on a podcast. i hate how it's framed as a personal preference and not a real human body they're talking about. i hate the lack of sensitivity. i hate the objectifying lens with which they view it. i think even Trixie realized halfway through that interaction that the topic of conversation was veering into some uncomfortable territory, and you could see the damage control being done, but caleb sure as hell felt okay continuing to talk and talk and talk and talkkkkkkk. and I will be honest. I don't even take it personally anymore, and that's probably the part I hate the most. it's such a common thing in queer media that I can't take it personally; it's a cultural issue. it is a community in-joke to talk about how much you love dick and hate pussy if you're a gay pericis man. lesbians do the same in reverse. it's a joke that nearly everybody tells without even thinking about it. and those same people are typically caring individuals about the trans community!! like I'm under no impression that caleb is a massive transphobe, I think he does care, but it's just yet another Thing where people can feel however they want to but do you really need to talk about it? it's all so normalized that I can't watch a lot of queer media without knowing I'll potentially get hit with that dysphoria bomb. and I don't even think it's individually their fault, I think it's a kind of mundane everyday cruelty that doesn't have a single source to blame, but instead a broader cultural insensitivity towards trans people's bodies. I think he had some modicum of self awareness about it, but that clip really feels like it should've been cut out. he's allowed to not like this or that type of person, I don't really care, but the way they both went about that conversation was as if they were talking about what porn categories they enjoyed instead of yknow.... human beings. there was more sensitivity when discussing sex with women, than sex with trans men. that's not great.
adults every generation when the children that were born 10 years ago don't know what was going on 15 years ago
"my 10 year old doesn't know what CDs are!"
have you told her what a CD is? do you use CDs? has she ever seen one? then how the fuck is she going to know what a CD is. are you fucking stupid. im going to kill you
"my son tried to introduce me to Green Day's music after finding it out on youtube" he knew about Green Day for one day and immediately told you about it but you let that young boy reach puberty without telling him about the best worst pop punk band of all time. i am on his side.
Just musing that different species temple guards would need different hoods. And then came the thought that a togruta temple guard would look like a tooka
Aren’t they a cutie patootie!!
But also is one of my most pondered thing about the guards, where it’s like “all the guards look the same” but like you can’t make a 8ft lasat look like a 5’10 kenobi !
So in my mind some of the “putting a rug over it”solutions
- the temple guards are CONSTANTLY fucking with peoples perceptions and minds, so you THINK you are seeing a 5’10 humanoid and are about to get swatted by a lasat (this is funny if you think of mando’s and their buckets not being easily mind influenced and just roll with the sentiment the guards have going with the whole “the guards look the same” but can clearly see that torgruta and that’s why they can tell the guards apart)
- no mind influence and it’s galacticly acceptance of not acknowledging the Mon Calamari shaped guard
Thing is that when I was living as a woman I would rely on misogyny, use it in my language and so forth, in order to try and make myself superior. When I began transitioning to male that basically stopped. I had more mental clarity, was better educated, and most importantly, when you’re Transmasc, the effects of misogyny don’t go away! They compound. Cis women make patriarchal bargains because it’s easy. Patriarchy has a place for women, it’s a degraded place, but you are promised safety if you shut up and look down. If you make yourself unlike other women, you can even sit on top on them, think Phyllis Schlafly. Misogynists know their power relies on women working for them, that’s the point of misogynistic violence. Patriarchy has no place for trans men. It wants us annihilated.
i know i’m late to the party, but the fact that Prentice Wicks, when ensuring his daughter would never get his promised fortune, chose to spend it all to buy a useless rock, instead of actually donating it to charity or giving to the poor. it really speaks of how much it was just about hurting Grace. it serves nothing and no one, it is a petty, cruel act of a hateful man.
Hello self flagellating trans masc. In front of you is a computer with tumblr open. Your task is to make a post about your own experiences with transphobia without derailing it by putting in a million disclaimers about how it would be worse if you were transfem and that your experiences don’t matter because there’s a hypothetical trans woman out there who has it ten times worse. You may also not call other trans men or nonbinary people names or imply that they are whiny or hysterical. Wait shit dude have you been dead the entire time I’ve been talking?
I bet crunching your little fangs into cardboard feels good as hell for a cat
"We need to get weirder with our gender!!" You can't handle a single trans man.
Whether they are feminine, or hypermasculine, or gay, or straight, or multigender, or intersex, or taking hrt, or not taking hrt, or getting bottom surgery, or not getting bottom surgery, or lesbian, or bisexual, or a person of colour, or has long hair, or is disabled, or speaks out, or just exists.
