A common trend I've also noticed in many communities (include queer communities, but little different way) aimed to support people marginalised in some way that includes both men and women, there often ends up being a sizeable minority of men who end up silencing/harassing/otherwise hurting women, another nasty example of 'male socialisation' where they feel the need to assert dominance over those they have an opportunity too.

This is the reason why trans men tend to be discriminated against and oppressed within the queer community.

Not trans as "I was born in the wrong body", trans as "How lucky are we?, we create ourselves".

Suddenly replaying the moment in my head where my mom decided to say that I was “turning into a young woman” just because I picked out different nail polish colors other than my typical black and red. then when I didn’t respond she reluctantly corrected herself to say “young person”, but I feel like she doesn’t gaf. I’m just trying to connect the dots of how the fuck does me getting other nail polish colors mean some spectacular change of a moment of me becoming a young woman.. and you wonder why I never do anything typically viewed as ‘feminine’ because you use it as any excuse to dismiss my trans identity and treat it like a phase or that it never existed in the first place. Maybe I’m just being dramatic??? but the other past instances with her surrounding my identity makes me believe this completely and it’s so upsetting every time.

Same thing when I was in a relationship with someone who identified as female at the time for THREE YEARS but she told me to my face “hmm no I don’t think you really like girls” WHAT THE FUCK. And then you always dismissed them as a friend and wouldn’t even admit I dated a girl before in places I was comfortable sharing ex my therapist. You can’t erase or deny it when it’s happening in your face

Mammon getting ready to finger afab MC for the first time

Mammon, smirking: already wet from just a few touches, huh?

MC: no that's my discharge

Maybe in another universe, I would be a real boy and not vomit in my mouth when I see myself in the mirror.

Hey, to that 13 year old that was crying and putting off showers because you hated having tits. You're okay. It'll be okay, and trust me when I say you'll love these scars. You'll be sad to see these ones fade, but it'll be okay. And for shits and giggles, please go see some sun. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

psa: you don't have to look a certain way to be enby

you don't have to wear oversized button downs and bagy jeans to "pass"

you don't have to wear intricate and colorful makeup so people know you're queer

you don't have to shave your head to look more androgynous

you don't have to bind everyday to prove that you're really trans, and not just faking

you don't have to use they/them or he/him or fae/faer pronouns to not be a girl

jesus christ i just want to go and shake 14 year old me and tell her she can wear dresses and miniskirts and bras if that makes her feel good

tell her that if wearing mascara threatens her carefully crafted gender identity, then its not a great gender identity

just because you came out as "genderfluid/enby/gender queer/agender/transman/demiboy/unlabelled", masculinity doesn't mean shit (neither does femininity for that matter) and if coming out makes you feel like you're in more of a box, coming out did not serve it's purpose

screw that teacher who asked "why are you wearing girl clothes?" because you came to school in something pink

screw the imposter syndrome you felt wearing a bra instead of a binder

screw the people that say you're misgendering yourself when you call yourself a girl

I can be just as trans in a miniskirt as i am in mens jeans

i can have a gender crisis with or without lipstick on

i can be a lesbian with french braids or a buzz cut

i can flip off gender with long, unkempt cuticles, or 2 inch acrylics

my gender expression is for me, and me alone. if someone with shaved legs, eyelash extensions, waist length hair, and a pushup bra asks you to use he/him pronouns for him, you had better damn well respect that

How do you define “transmasculine” or “transmasc” for yourself personally?

Transitioning in a male and/or masculine direction

Transgender with a primarily male and/or masculine identity

AFAB and transgender

FTM and/or FTN

I want both my transgender and male / masculine identity to be recognized

Other (feel free to let us know in the notes!)

Multiple of the above

I’m really not sure what the label means for me personally
