new flag - gendersomething

when your gender is.. something. could be for someone who's questioning, or someone who knows they have a gender but they just aren't sure what. or maybe for someone who does not wish to disclose their gender beyond saying that they have one.

ive seen this term in circulation but i havent seen a flag or any official coining for it so i thought i'd make one! - mod ananas

You've had this blog for 5+ years and have talked about and acknowledged transmysogny multiple times but have exactly zero posts talking about the issues Transmascs/Transmen face that others don't. Nothing about domestic violence rates, nothing about pregnancy, nothing. Infact, most of your posts about Transmascs are about Transmasc cis lesbians, not even trans men or Transmasc nonbinary pple. There's nothing wrong with addressing transmysogny but you need to do better if you truly wanna talk about issues facing our community, not just half of it.

Hello!

As you may be able to tell, the mods have been too busy with IRL stuff to do many icons, so we've instead been queuing posts about queer issues and LGBT memes so our followers don't think we've forgotten about them.

I find it interesting that you use the term transmasc but do not think nonbinary transmascs are included in that, or that nonbinary transmascs cannot be lesbians. I also find it interesting how you say "transmasc cis lesbian," referring to intersex identities, and you say "not even trans men or transmasc nonbinary people," implying that intersex transmascs are somehow less transmasc than binary trans men.

As a transmasc myself, I am plenty aware of the issues that transmascs and trans men face. However, I do not think it is necessarily helpful to subdivide transgender issues into a transfem vs transmasc thing. I think that all issues that the transgender community faces are important and should be addressed, and we do not necessarily need to only focus on one subgroup at a time. I think a lot of people are very quick to choose sides and position themselves against the other, which is antithetical to our mission of inclusivity and making all transgender folks feel welcome and at home here.

Reblogging a post about transgender women is not excluding transgender men, just like reblogging a post about transgender men is not excluding transgender women. All transgender folk deserve to have their voices heard. We reblog posts about both transfems and transmascs. If you are searching for the term "transandrophobia," we do not like to reblog posts using that term specifically as it is a loaded term with a lot of discourse surrounding it, and while many people may be using the term in good faith, I have also seen many people using it to degrade transfems and attempt to discredit transmisogyny. Regardless of your opinion on the discourse, this blog is here to make all queer people feel welcome, therefore we avoid contentious topics.

It is never helpful to position intra-queer discourse as a "them vs us" discussion. If by uplifting transmascs you need to knock down transfems, you are no better than a transphobe, and vice versa. Showcasing transfem voices is not silencing transmasc voices. This blog is here to showcase all trans voices.

sorry about the lack of posts, blog got nuked (probably for reblogging too much stuff about palestine 🙄) but thankfully since this was a group blog it wasn’t destroyed! regular intermittent pride posting resumed. - mod ananas

I’m genderfluid (biologically male) and tryna figure out if I’m bi or pan, I know I don’t care about gender but I’m not sure what the difference is? Anyone got tips?

The difference between bisexual and pansexual is largely semantic and depends on person to person. Frankly I feel it's more about whichever you are more comfortable with, though technically bisexual is attraction to multiple genders while pansexual is attraction to all genders. Bisexual people therefore could be attracted to all genders or they could be attracted to as little as two genders.

If I were you I wouldn't get caught up on definitions and semantics and go with whatever makes you feel the most comfortable. You could also identify as both interchangeably, or neither!
