Non-binary

A simple blog about gender. Issues, articles, and more.

Pride Month is upon us again and so it is time to repost my little guy, Hue! I’m wishing everyone a safe, supportive, positive, and enlightening Pride, whether you’re all the way “out” or not!

[my-castles-crumbling]

Tbh my favorite part of pride month is saying “AND DURING PRIDE MONTH TOO?” at every slight inconvenience.

[transsocialmediaresearch]

Each person has their own experience as they seek safety and comfort! We hope to understand how trans individuals have found safety, comfort, and connection in online safe spaces. We hope that we can understand those factors to improve therapy spheres in the future.

Please email [email protected] for more information or to participate in this research study.

[that-bastard-with-all-the-bones]

‘and fight like hell for the living’ I’M CRYING THAT’S SO POWERFUL I’M ABSOLUTELY GOING TO FIGHT LIKE HELL THANK YOU PRIDE KNIGHTS

[marxism-transgenderism]

Thinking back on the fact that I went to the largest lgbt youth center in my state for 6 years of my life and in that time only met like, what 8 trans women out of the hundreds of people I met there, most of whom stopped going after awhile. And now as an adult most support groups and local scenes are the exact same way. It’s really sad how many ostensibly trans friendly spaces develop a culture that’s hostile to transfems even in ways I don’t think I have the words to describe yet. Like I only stayed for so long cause by the time I came out as trans I was already deeply involved in running the place and it’d become my second home. Hell I’m still recovering from getting like all of my early support from an environment nearly exclusively run by and catered to tme ppl

[marxism-transgenderism]

Actually I think I do have some words to describe it. It was the fact that there were literally no trans women in any of the leadership positions, let alone any who worked there.

It was the fact that when I came out as nonbinary (all of our name tags literally had our pronouns) I still got called ‘he’ constantly and then when I came out as trans I got called ‘they’ constantly.

It was the fact that every ‘transitioning 101’ workshop I went to taught me everything about binding, packing, and wearing masculine clothes and nothing about breast inserts, tucking, or voice feminization. I knew everything testosterone could do to your body before anyone even told me what an antiandrogen is.

It’s the fact that I couldn’t explore my femininity without being sexualized. Hell every time I wore a dress I could count on afab tenderqueers 5 years older than me telling me to choke them and step on them.

And at the time I was so young I had no real ways of conceptualizing how all this hurt me, let alone ways to describing it. I know that was true of nearly all the other trans girls who went there, no wonder so many of them left so soon.

And all of this has held true for every LGBT space I’ve been in. Middle, high school, and college GSAs, trans support groups, training workshops, activist groups, meet n greets, drag shows, and don’t even get me started on fucking online spaces.

In all of these ostensibly queer spaces, even trans specific ones and EVEN ones which seemingly are there to celebrate transfemininity, I and so many other transfems have been fetishized, tokenized, ignored, and treated as suspect for ever putting up any resistance to it.

I don’t really have anything productive to say. Idk how to fix it, my only solution has been to just follow a lot of sexy transfems on here and try to ignore everything else. But that still doesn’t change the sadness I feel for the fact that one of the largest obstacles I’ve faced in forming any sense of community with other transfems irl has been other LGBT people. Just do better

Pride is almost here so I think it is good to remember pride isn't here thanks to world wide companies who "dress in rainbow" just for a month. Pride is here because trans women, butch lesbians, gay men, queer people of color and every other memeber of the LGBTQ+ community fought in the past and still fighting today. There are still a lot of things to fight for. So keep fighting until we are sure each one of us is safe and happy. Have a great pride month.

Also trans men. Because posts like this always mention trans women but not trans men. It is possible to support transfeminine people without perpetuating the myth that trans men have never been involved in our own history. Thanks.

Jamison Green, born in 1948. He was a pioneer for trans men after Lou Sullivan's death. He's still alive.

Carter Brown, a victim of workplace transphobia, and the founder of Black Transmen Inc.

Robert Eads, 1945-1999. Pictured with his trans female partner, Lola. I recommend watching Southern Comfort, which follows him throughout his final year of life. His story is a beautiful one, but also a tragic example of medical transphobia.

Loren Cameron, born in 1959. A photographer and artist, who curated exceptional and groundbreaking collections of trans photography.

Willmer Broadnax, 1916-1992. A black gospel singer who never medically transitioned, but lived his entire life as a male, in public.

Lucas Silveira, born in 1979. He is the first openly transgender man to have signed with a major record label. He is still alive.

Billy Tipton, 1914-1989. He did not undergo a medical transition, but raised multiple children, and had a successful musical career.

Jim McHarris, a black trans man born in 1954, who you can read more about here.

Reed Erickson, 1917-1992. You can read about his insanely important contribution to LGBT+ progress here.

Stop erasing trans male stories by leaving us out of Pride Month posts.

Trans men are not a footnote in history.

Trans men are not an afterthought.

We have always been around.

Erasure of trans men, and transmasculine people more generally, perpetuates the myth that queerness is inherently feminine. Butch lesbians, male impersonators, and trans men have always been central to LGBT+ progress and pride. I'm tired of people defaulting to anti-FTM mindsets, or at the very least, erasing trans men as their first instinct. I'm sick of the invisibility that we suffer. I'm sick of masculine lesbians, like Stormé DeLarverie, being treated as irrelevant. I feel so much solidarity with butches and lesbians who have been cut out of history, because the same thing is happening to trans men.

This Pride Month, when you see a post claiming trans women are the only ones who ever contributed to progress, remember to critically think. Remember all the work that trans men have done. Remember the masculine people, and men, who died so that we could live. Who stood alongside drag queens and trans women.

ive been putting it off for literal years but i finally made a g0fundm3 for my top surgery 😔 💕

this surgery would be literally life saving for me. my dysphoria and depression have gotten so bad that even leaving my house or looking in the mirror or taking care of myself is an extreme challenge. im looking to get a double mastectomy (no nipple grafts) and this is about what itll cost me. i have a part time job right now but its only $13/hr and as short as my hours are right now, they just got cut. anything helps at all i cant thank you guys enough for the friendship and support you’ve always given me. all my money has to go to my phone & prescription bills, groceries, etc and my dysphoria really challenges my mental health every day. thank you guys so much 🥺💖
