I LOVE MY TRANS BODY!!!!!! EVEN IF IT IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ringwaldhaze]

trans people there will always be a moment where you meet someone younger than you and their eyes light up when you tell them you're trans and they excitedly respond that they are too and you will feel something like happiness and kinship because i am you and you are me and we are more alike than either of us could possibly know

Found this in the comments of Shaun's latest video on Andrew Tate, in which he talks pretty extensively about how important it is for men to find ways to be confident in their genders without trying to adhere to, or enforce, anyone else's ideas of manhood on anyone.

Highly recommend checking it out.

Anyway. I rarely see folks talk about the positive impact transmascs have on manhood as a whole, and I think it's important to acknowledge and celebrate that.

IDIC: Star Trek and LGBT+🖖🏳️‍🌈

In case anybody needed to hear this reminder today:

Let’s not forget what long time Star Trek writer (TOS, TAS, TNG) David Gerrold had to say about Star Trek and the LGBT+ community:

“ Well, here’s a little message for the pearl-clutching drama queens … 

Get over yourselves.

I was there when Gene Roddenberry promised to include gay people in Star Trek. I heard him say it to fans. I heard him say it to staff.

It was a promise he was never allowed to keep because of studio homophobia.

I know why it didn’t happen. I know who’s responsible for thirty years of keeping gay Trek characters in the closet.

But I know what Gene intended. He intended to include everyone.

If Star Trek hadn’t been all-inclusive, not only would there not have been tribbles,

There wouldn’t have been George Takei,

There wouldn’t have been Bill Theiss’ costumes

Or Mike Minor’s art direction.

There wouldn’t have been Merritt Butrick,

and at least a dozen other people who’ve made major contributions to the show.

But you don’t get to define Star Trek, that’s Gene Roddenberry’s job.” - David Gerrold

“Every time I meet someone. I start to get to know them. I start to see them more and more. I start to talk to them more often. All of a sudden they are stuck in my head everywhere I go. I can’t stop thinking about them. I get so attached to something I know is just in the moment. I hate this about myself. It’s one of the many scars my father left on me. I guess I just keep trying to find the love I lack from my father from everyone I get close with. At the end it will only hurt me. Because I know it’s not true love it’s just a love I pain for that I’ll never have. Until I don’t accept that, I’ll never be able to control my vulnerability.”

A Different Meaning Of Family

You did not plan for me, But the universe did. You did not birth me, But you rebirthed me. You did not know me my whole life, But you’ve known me over many lifetimes. You did not raise me, But you shaped me. You did not teach me to walk, But you taught me to fly. You did not hear my first word, But you taught me to speak up. You did not see my first day of school, But you taught me more than it ever did. You did not wipe away my first tears, But you prevented new tears from falling. You did not take me through childhood, But you helped me reclaim it. You were not there from the start, But you’ll be there ‘til the end. I was not born to you, But you chose me. We are not blood related, But you have always been my family.

The words are pouring out tonight. This is for all the kids who had to find their own families. 💜🌱✨

“Silence fell between us. This was a common occurrence whenever we’re alone. When you’re comfortable with someone, you don’t need to always fill the void with noise. I liked it when we would just be.”

And in that moment i knew/ I knew the choices ive made/ They were the right ones/ .... To the outside world/ Those quiet tears were sad/ But they were those of contentment/ Of happiness/ #elevatorthoughts https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8_SXoBYgb/?igshid=es8isflmmzyr

What I've learned

And like that i learned

I've learned what is was

To feel at ease

I've learned what it was

To be happy

I've learned what it was

What it was i was missing

...

A family

[thatonetransguycyclist]

What I've learned

And like that i learned

I've learned what its like

To feel content

I've learned what its like

To feel happy

In this time I've learned

What it was like to have

...

A family

Not one of blood

But one of worth

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.

Those moments you finally feel content for a while. Sitting able to think clearly. Surrounded by things you love. Those are the best moments.
