#transmasc representation

[unimpressiveboyfriend]

belated congratulations to skier Elis Lundholm of sweden, the first ever openly trans man to compete in the winter olympics!!!

do you have any movie recs that are fiction and feature transmen/mascs, either heavy handed allegory or direct representation?

thank u and love ur blog here, you are doing good work

... is this how I realize I almost never seen transmasc or trans men portrayed in fiction ? ._.

Watched a few documentaries (Desire Line is the last in date, realy liked it !) and experimental project, but full on fiction ?

Wait, I've seen uuuuuh... Umbrella Academy ig ? But as much as I'm happy Eliott Page was able to perform that role as a guy, it's not really adressed more than the 10sec needed for his coming out.

Watched Tomboy by Sciamma when I was a kid, and if I remember the interpretation of the trans kid as good, the end is just sad. The movie doesn't understand itself and want you to believe going back to his girl name is positive.

Well... I need to do some research, if anybody has good recs ?

There needs to be more transmasc rep NOW

I’m not here to dunk on this post or anyone in it, BUT I do think it’s a great visual example of how when trans men DO get platformed (which is rare, especially outside of queer spaces, and we suffer from invisibility within queer spaces too to an extent) it’s almost always relatively privileged trans men who are some combination of:

- white, white passing, or otherwise light skinned

- trans men who don’t have any kind of visible/very noticeable disability

- trans men who are relatively thin and more or less “average man build” according to cisnormative fatphobic standards, trans men who are not fat or curvy or petite

- trans men who have had access to testosterone HRT for at least several years

- trans men who have had top surgery or trans men who are able and willing to bind constantly in any kind of public appearances

- binary he/him only trans men who are feasibly cishet male passing and not visibly gender nonconforming or expressive in ways outside of heteronormative masculinity. trans men who do not “dress loud”. trans men who do not style themselves as particularly alternative, and instead mostly wear relatively “normal guy clothes” in general. trans men who have short hair and don’t wear makeup

And probably more that I’m missing?

I just think that a lot of people who don’t know lots of trans men personally tend to assume we’re all like the guys in the picture above and move through life being treated as such, because they haven’t been exposed to other types of trans men (or- consciously or subconsciously- they don’t see trans men outside of a stereotypically hypermasculine mold as “real trans men”). Maybe half at most of the trans guys I’ve met look similar to the guys in the picture above. A lot of us don’t look like that. But the way some people talk about trans men, it’s pretty clear they’re exclusively imagining guys like we see in the picture above and not considering trans guys who fall outside of that.

I just created an entire list of tranmasc representation in popular media for this user, only to find out that they have me blocked.

They didn't even wait for a reply. Don't want my list of recommendations to go to waste so, enjoy. If anyone wants to @ this guy so he sees my list, go ahead.

Maybe hot-headed of me to suggest that, but I'm pretty fucking pissed rn seeing that all my work was for nothing.

Man moment.

As a trans man, I need more trans men/transmasc memes. I don't see a lot of transmasc related stuff. Reblog for more attention

Edit: I edited this because I didn't said it in a good way. It wasn't my intention at all to shit on transfems. I have a habit of saying things without realizing that it sounds bad to others /gen. So sorry for that.

I finally managed to snap a photo of this billboard. For some reason I never had my phone out whenever I passed previously.

Transmascs: do you relate to the fictional representation of transmasculinity that you have consumed in media?

No, I haven’t related to any depiction of transmasculinity I’ve seen in fiction

I have related somewhat to a rare few depictions I’ve seen

I have related to a few depictions I’ve seen

There’ve definitely been some transmasculinity depictions I’ve fully related to

I’ve often related to the depictions of transmasculinity I’ve seen represented

I’ve totally related to many depictions of transmasculinity in media

I basically always relate a ton when I see transmasculinity represented in media

Other / unsure (you can share details in the notes if you want)

See results / not transmasc / have literally never seen transmascs in any media
