its SO difficult for no reason trying to find side profile references for drawing phil because hes always at a 3/4 angle at most.. meanwhile dan is always side profiling for obvious reasons
Although i will never get to own these physical photocards, i'm just glad they exist. I'm happy they had fun shooting them, planning all these ideas to give us heart attacks and most of all finally them getting to show off their couple selfies to us freely 😭
I’m starting to feel really fucking isolated. I genuinely don’t understand why people can’t see that trans men are oppressed. As someone who lives as a trans guy, and is treated like a woman every day, it’s unfathomable to me that people I consider allies to me, especially other trans people, can look at my life and say that i benefit ‘because I’m a man’. I’m not seen that way. People (usually men) don’t ask my pronouns before they stare at me on public transport, or follow me, or ask me how old I am while telling me I’m pretty. I look a lot younger than I am (I sometimes look 13 at first glance, when in reality I’m an adult), and the fact that people leer at me when they think I’m a child says a lot. I’m so exhausted with people online coming up with new words every day to condescend people like me, or disrespect us, or find a way to misgender us while not overtly doing it. All this is happening online, while I know I’m at a terrifyingly high risk of assault, and I regularly fear this happening. This does not change by the fact that I am a man. This fear does not go away, because this threat does not go away. I am seen not only as a woman by society, but (when I don’t conform, when I tell people I’m trans, when I dress masculine) I’m seen as a broken woman. Corrective assault is so commonly experienced by trans men. I am constantly worried that I will be a victim of it too. I don’t understand why this isn’t clear to people. I shouldn’t have to pour my heart out to prove that I’m oppressed by the system that’s oppressed me all my life, and didn’t just stop when I changed my name.
If your making a post about misogyny and you find yourself referring to the people affected by the issue your talking about as women, I encourage you to stop and consider if women are actually the only group affected by the issue. There are men and nonbinary people who are affected by abortion bans. There are men and nonbinary people who get objectified because of their breasts. There are men and nonbinary people who struggle to succeed in cis male dominated fields due to discrimination. There are men and nonbinary people who are directly impacted by misogyny every single day, and they deserve to have their struggles acknowledge too.
I loooooove seeing people on here say that bathroom bans only impact trans women as if I can't think of multiple news incidents of trans men getting shit in bathrooms in the past year. But you know. The only problems trans men ever have is erasure, which isn't actually a real problem. Mhm. Tell that to the guys who got kicked out of the bathroom
The idea that trans men get paid more than trans women in their jobs not really is a huge "depends on how the boss is" (which either way everyone should get an equal pay regardless of gender) but also no, no they don't...
The patriarchy doesn't see us as men, they see us a women, and therefore we get paid less than anyone else, my pay is way lower than cis men at my job and I'm a trans man. I think this argument reflects that transandrophobes think that the moment someone identifies as a man everyone will accept them which is not the case, they think that our womanhood is non-existant even though we were born with it and lived w it from half of our lives and unless we fully transition it is not fully gone (and even then, womanhood is always a thing we are forced to latch on to the day we die, because a man can look like fucking Thor and people will still see him as a woman), and even then, not everyone is capable to transition, I have still not transition and ppl still see me as a woman SPECIALLY considering my very femenine deadname and the fact I have huge boobs and hips and in general very femenine appearance!!
If we have to even hide the fact we are trans so ppl don't treat us like ass and they lower our pays for being "actually women" that is NOT privilege, shut the fuck up and sit down, fucker
Hi friends,
I need to clarify something very important. My GoFundMe page is still active, and I am the organizer in Gaza. The issue is not with my page.
The real problem is that the beneficiary’s GoFundMe account, The person the funds are supposed to go to was suddenly deleted by GoFundMe without any warning or explanation.
Because the beneficiary’s account was deleted, all transfers have stopped, even though my page is still running.
But life doesn’t pause.
My family in Gaza is still facing a brutal daily reality, and their basic needs can’t wait for a review email or a support ticket.
Until we resolve the beneficiary issue or get a new one approved, I have to redirect all support through Ko-fi.
If you are able to help, even the cost of a cup of coffee, you are providing my family with food, medicine, and shelter from the cold and rain.
I’m not asking for something easy, but I’m asking because the situation isn’t easy.
Your support is the one real thing keeping us going right now.
The link is below.
Thank you to everyone who still believes that solidarity isn’t just a word. Solidarity is life.

My Father and Brother Between Illness and War: A Call from the Heart of Pain💔
In Gaza, where the sounds of bombing mingle with the wailing of patients, and where survival becomes a daily miracle, I live between two battles whose flames never cease. The first is a war that steals everything from us, and the second is two diseases that are ravaging the two most precious people in my life: my father and my brother. 💔
My father, the man who once supported me, is now helpless in the face of a disease ravaging his body. He needs treatment, but he can't find it in a city besieged by death from every angle. He looks at me with eyes full of patience, but he doesn't hide his pain. I wish I could comfort him, tell him that everything will be okay, but how can I say that when I have no medicine or even a promise of life? Here are my father's medical reports.
As for my brother, his condition is no better. His weak body is unable to resist, and his illness worsens day by day. I see him suffering silently, trying to be strong so as not to increase my father's pain, but I see the pain in his eyes, in the trembling of his voice, in his gaze searching for hope in a city that has given nothing but despair. This is my brother's medical report.
Between war and disease, we are besieged by need. There is no medicine, no treatment, not even enough to fight this pain. I try to be strong, to cling to hope, but how can I achieve it while we are stuck in the midst of this devastation?
I hop e you donate to us, even if it is a little. Help us, my friends. This is the donation link.

I am not writing these words to complain, but rather because perhaps they will reach a living heart, a person who still believes that helping others is the greatest thing a person can do. My father and brother need nothing more than a chance for treatment, a helping hand, a heart that feels what we are experiencing here.
I write these words with a heart filled with fear, but I still believe that goodness has not died, and that there are those who will hear this call and extend a helping hand to us at a time when we need mercy most.

Hello friends,
Hello my friends,I am in urgent need of your help and donations. I was the victim of a major fraud by the first campaign organizer.Now, I am desperately asking for your support again through my new donation link, as I need to rebuild my life from the beginning and provide milk and diapers for my baby, Masa.Believe me, it’s a truly tragic situation — the suffering never seems to end. But your support can help me get through it and secure the most basic necessities for my child.
Please donate and share ❤️
Note: I was unfortunately listed as a “spammer” in the Gaza file, and the reason was the multiple accounts I have used.
However, the truth is that I never intended to cause any inconvenience — I was only forced to create new accounts after several of my previous ones were closed unexpectedly.
I sincerely apologize if this caused any disturbance. All I’m trying to do is provide a decent and safe life for my children after everything we’ve been through.
I truly hope you can understand my situation and give me another chance to continue what I started with honesty and determination.
"but if a trans man [list of everything possible that would help someone pass] then-" no because he's now covered in trans-specific surgery scars and is dependent on hrt access for physical health and he has a paper trail of his transition that's illegal and impossible for him to fully get rid of you ignorant inconsiderate fuck. it's not like you get a legal name change and they just throw fucking every copy of every incorrect paper or file away immediately forever, they don't throw out shit and you gotta drag name change papers around every time you do paperwork until after you've fucking died. you can't cut out a sheet of skin on your forearm and have it just Grow Back as to not cause suspicion, and the highly visible marks of a double mastectomy have got to be The most recognizable trans surgery scars that there are. there is nowhere he can go (not without at least however many valid forms of identification! :D) and nothing he can do to hide. there is no magical land you can run off to in the night to live without papers or surveillance or any connection to your past or anyone ever finding out through bodily means and also they give you testosterone no questions asked. not to make it all feel pointless or anything but the world isn't just gonna let the fact that someone is trans go. even if you find a way around it, that method is either already or soon will be illegal. the hypothetical trans man we're all so pissed at isn't real, he can't hurt you. he is an impossibility. as soon as humans had the technology to provide medical transition, it was impossible to start over with no ties to your past. you cannot escape to a currently less bad country without your trans-outing papers, and there's nowhere within borders you're allowed to go that isn't your own government-tracked home or in the transphobic public. the only options are to live through it or die or secretly trespass to disappear into the privately-owned forest with the knowledge that everyone in society is misgendering you being what keeps you from ever leaving no matter how cold it gets or how many spiders there are on you until you inevitably succumb to the elements. this is not male privilege.
sometimes when i hear trans people talk shit about the hypothetical all-passing trans man, i can't help but feel they're all talking entirely out of their asses. y'all's expectation for transitioning is unrealistic as fuck. if you're an adult passing trans man who thinks you're safe, you're only made even more endangered by your refusal to acknowledge the evidence that's still out there about yourself and how vulnerable you are, how this could all be taken away. how they're trying to, how they always have been, how close they are, how many times over and over transness and queerness as a whole have blossomed only to be once again removed and forgotten. now is not the time to act like everything is fine and will always stay fine. not to fear monger or anything but i think you're maybe being selectively way too chill about some current events that are going down? it's all "oh but xyz hasn't happened to me" until it does happen to you, ya know? then you're gonna want your community to believe you. you're gonna want them to really care about you and your story without your manhood being an issue.
