[that-grassbro]

I have made an intro post.

Welcome, to my blog. I am Az/Azrael a Tajik-Iranian nonbinary trans guy (he/him). I am dating my beloved @konjak-jelly

I talk a lot about transmascphobia, theorising on the unique position of transmasculine people and how misogyny and transphobia intersect in their oppression.

I'm almost always open to respectful discussion and discourse, unless you're annoying or a raging bigot who I can't talk to. I WILL be reblogging and interacting with people who I disagree with or are on 'different sides of discourse' to me.

If we're moots I'd love to talk to you but tumblr messages gives me a migraine so pls ask for my discord.

I am also called:

my grass brother pokemon azrael mr grass our brother in grass Grazreal gramineous sibling brother grassy

there's this specific grief that comes with being trans and hearing another trans person has died. because no matter how far away they were, it never feels distant, it feels communal. cellular. like someone reached into the wiring of your own body and cut a thread. trans people learn early on in their journey - often even before they begin transitioning - that survival is treated like a political statement. joy is political. transition is political. getting to exist long enough to become boring is political.

and now mourning is political, too.

i'm so sorry, murry foust. i keep thinking about how tired you must have been. how tired all of us are. how humiliating it is that even when we die alone, people still laugh and debate whether we deserved to live a happy, dignified life at all.

there are trans kids online right now learning your name – and the names of juniper blessing, lucas redbeard knapp, aleanna belcher, and davonta curtis – through grief. through fear. through that horrible, familiar ache of "that could've been me." and i hate that this is part of our inheritance from one another. not just chosen family and resilience and beauty – but memorials. vigils. apology letters to ghosts.

you deserved better. you deserved to grow old and live a happy, fulfilled life. all of us do. i promise we will keep fighting for our community to have a better future and we'll carry our lost siblings the whole way through.

"The social force is not 'those who identify as women are inferior' it is 'those we think of as women are inferior'. "

Thatgrassbro out here saying trans women aren't subject to Misogyny because agab. Oh the UK is gonna love you

its a pretty basic principle of transfeminism that trans women are often seen as a type of woman societally and just aren't given access to womanhood.

do you hate your fellow trans people so much that you forgot this?

[riv3rboychaos]

again on the isaac ranson (trans guy who had to play on a women's team to be allowed to continue within the league he plays in) stuff

trans guy: has to join a women's team to be allowed to play, will not be able to medically transition whether he wishes to or not for as long as he plays within that league

people:

.

WHAT THE FUCK. i guarantee you these people would not be having the same reaction to a trans woman having to play on a men's team. in fact, they'd probably be coming out in waves to offer support for her. but no, suddenly because the person in question happens to be playing on a team they want to play on (and that person probably doesnt want to have to) its transmisogynistic and hes the weakest link in the trans commun and he should be jumped?? what the absolute FUCK?? this has to be a fucking joke. these people cannot genuinely be serious.

person: finds a way to continue playing their sport, while having to make sacrifices, but still finding a way to play

other people: he's evil. he deserves to be jumped. i hope he dies

just genuinely what the actual fuck

[that-grassbro]

I mean all we really have to do is look back a couple of months ago, when a trans woman was a voice actor for a man on Knights of Guinevere.

No one got mad at her, but a lot of people were infantilising and supporting her and hating on the creators. (Despite the fact that its actually good for trans voice actors to have roles, and mixed gender casting is actually a good thing).

The community has a tendency to police trans men as traitors quite significantly. They are held to a very high standard while having to navigate a transphobic society. Anything they do for their own safety and wellbeing, whether it be moving from transphobic regions, stealthing, closeting, girlmoding, temporarily detransitioning, avoiding diy hrt, advocating for protection under womens' rights groups. Everything has to serve 'the community' first.

[andrinoaddiction]

The term theyfab is only misogynistic if you believe that " afab " and " woman " are synonymous

[amirmeavid]

is female infanticide only misogynistic if you believe everyone afab is a woman?

No, that would be ridiculous because marginalising and/or making fun of someone on the basis of being afab is obviously misogynistic.

Hiya! Unsure about how Ko-fi works - tried to donate two days back in terrible signal zone, only got through today, now displaying as having sent after the donation drive ended - hoping it still went through!

It did! Thank you so much.

For everyone else though please stop donating, I'm a bit concerned about paypal freezing my funds. I had a lot more than these past 3 days donations and I'm very paranoid about what will happen if they don't give it back.

I’m sorry that it’s come to this.

I absolutely hate asking for help, especially because I have so many friends on here who have gone through far worse, but my friend very kindly opened a Ko-Fi for me, so I couldn’t turn it down.

Buy Jackson a Coffee

My actual name is Samuel. I am 17 years old, turning 18 in just a handful of months. I am Venezuelan but was born in Spain, which as you may know, was recently rated as the safest country for LGBT+ folk to live based on legislation.

I would love to say that that can be the case forever. Unfortunately, our very socially progressive president has also turned out to be a massive scammer, and our presidential election is next year. All polls and predictions say that he will lose to his right-wing opponent, and that is a problem.

In 2022, Spain put out a set of laws that allow transgender people over the age of 18 to change their legal name and gender without having to undergo any surgeries or hormonal treatments. Some of the laws introduced had exploitable loopholes which have been used by criminals to get away with their crimes, and this has led the popular right-wing to announce they will “amend” the law.

However, they have made it abundantly clear that their idea of an “amendment” is an entire rewrite, removing legal protections for trans people and once again making it illegal to change your name and gender without surgery.

This is where my problem comes in.

My birthday is on October 1st. The elections are in April of next year. Name changes take a while to process in the system. The cost of changing my name is around 230€ Euros, money that I do not currently have and will not be given by my parents.

I need to raise the money by my birthday, so that very weekend I can immediately run to the courthouse and get my documents changed. If I don’t manage to change my name before the new party gets voted in and the law gets rewritten, I will spend another 4-8 years unable to escape my deadname that is associated with absolutely so much pain and such terrible times in my life. I do not want to go to university and still be trailing this horror behind me.

I know this is an incredibly selfish thing to ask, and there are thousands of trans men out there who are in much more precarious situations than I am, but if you have literally any money to spare, I am begging you, the tiniest amount would be so absolutely appreciated. The further I can get with donations, the less I will have to cover through more unsavoury means, and I really do not want to have to go into the industry so I can finance my new documents.

Please. Anything helps. Even just a reblog. Thank you.

Hey. You might have seen me before.

I'm Az, as a few of you might know by now, either from my info posts, some of the donations I boost, or some kind of controversy. I've been very vocal about my 4 year journey trying to get out of Tajikistan as a transmasc student.

I recently got the amazing news of a full scholarship to a university in the UK. But I was confronted with the reality that I did not account for all the costs that come with moving. I knew there would be flight costs, vaccinations, visa application fees and more, which is why I've been saving up for the last 3 years.

Unfortunately I'm still short, particularly after realising i missed some hidden fees and particularly the Immigration Health Charge of  £2716. I will work hard at making as big of a dent in this as I can, but any assistance at all would be great.

Thank you for reading.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FAST???? THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!

[that-grassbro]

WOW. Thank you all, that was incredible fast?! Its actually frozen my paypal with how fast it was (which is slightly concerning). Thank you so so so much, I will keep updating, but please stop donating, as I have surpassed my goal and can make up the rest of the funds myself.

Thank you so so so so so much, this is insane!!!! I love you all <333333
