been working on art all day and i keep reaching for my cup of mod podge water as if it is ever going to be a beverage

sorry i just post about being trans i’ve been repressing my investment in trans discourse for the better part of a decade. and also it shapes like every aspect of my life and how i interface with the world and how i am treated every day and

do post op trans women also attain this pussy privilege i have been hearing so much about or does it only exist when a trans man has an opinion

the level of gaslighting transmasc people face about the harm we face is truly insane to me but then i step back and realize how the most common way to view us even in trans spaces is as a failed woman. and i understand why people get away with it lol

can you guys retire "the right wing / chuds don't know what to do with trans men and forget they exist and will be So Confused by them!!!!" already. they are fully aware trans men exist and the thing they do to trans men is violently abuse and murder them

wild to me that the common understanding of t4t is that it's largely a safety thing when in my experience trans spaces can significantly worse about ignoring boundaries and rampant oversexualization as cis spaces tend to be

hey man do you wanna go out to a bar and the servers assume im your son and we're celebrating my birthday and we don't correct them and then right before we leave i hop into your lap and make out with you to the onlookers' shock and horror?

if you are “ex-nonbinary” posting about how hard your detransition has been did you actually ever meaningfully materially transition in any way or did you just stick a they in your instagram bio and take it out when you got bored

tumblr is full to bursting with people who say shit like “if you are abused by a trans woman you can’t talk about it publicly because trans women already have it so hard and you actually probably deserved it because trans women can only be the victims of abuse and never perpetrate it”

there are 2 genders available for those who delusionally believe themselves to be "trans men:" Submissive Fucktoy (woman) and Abuser (man), and if you reject that false dichotomy, they take you out behind a shed and shoot you point blank

My naivete made me think that the masculinity crisis was only real if youre a misogynist dude but like it turns out cis women genuinely also uphold really fucked up beliefs about masculinity or just maleness in general

it’s an interesting paradox to live as a transmasculine person: to so many we are simultaneously “co-opting” transness and inauthentic in our gender for any list of reasons (including deviation from “normative” masculinity), yet also must answer for the crimes of cisgender men without exception

(feministly) once you choose to transition into a man you’re basically cis so nothing bad happens or has ever happened to you, but if it does you deserve it for choosing to become a man

If we cede that what trans men experience is "just" transphobia, is the argument then that what trans women experience is only transmisogyny, or is there also an ungendered "just" transphobia that trans women experience?

try to wrap your head around the idea that transphobia aimed at trans men is both hypermasculinIzing and effeminizing. that being subject to both misogynization of female sex assignment and hypervigilant response to Improper Manhood are commingling with the "normal" transphobia, whatever that is.

cws for extensive discussion of transandrophobia, abuse of all stripes, and misogyny, but fuuuuucccckkkkkkk ME this whole entire post. god damn

listen im as much of a pervert weirdo as the next guy but if youre shocked people are reacting negatively to you posting about how much you like incest or loli feet or whatever… come on. also none of you have lost jobs or housing for drawing brothers kissing online grow up

"Trans men aren't oppressed for being men, they're oppressed for being trans" makes as much sense as "gay men aren't oppressed for being men, they're oppressed for being gay" Being a MAN is constitutive of the identity being oppressed! What kind of pretzels have you contorted your brain into?

It is 2026, we are learning intersectionality and remembering that gendered violence is not something that only happens to women.

you having a special word for people being bigoted to you is offensive because i think so little of you that acknowledging your oppression makes me feel like my own oppression is less real and serious

This is proof that the media wants to rip us apart even though we are all dangling the same hog.

This is why white led LGBTQ+ discourse of "fems ALWAYS have it worse than mascs" overshadowing EVERY discussion while always ignoring systemic racism is not only short-sighted but dangerous. As soon as someone starts making gender essential blanket statements I know they aren't safe to be around. 🧵

🏳️‍🌈Remember, If your trans activism only centers white perspectives it's not activism 📢 I think ALL of you should read this collection of Black queer, transmasc & butch experiences as to how anti-Blackness restricts our safety, comfort & expression 👇🏽 #PRIDE2025 doberbutts.tumblr.com/post/7864740...

It's annoying when transmedicalist rhetoric and bullying seems to draw far less ire than a trans man making the argument that we should be allowed to use the word "misandry"

anti-transmasculinity as a trojan horse for older gender-essentialist bullshit is a real thing

"the Evil Gender cannot suffer, and you chose to become the Evil Gender, so the best we can do is compare you to the Good Gender and how bad they have it"

I suspect the "TMA/TME" dichotomic framework wouldn't be happening, or at least would look unrecognizable, if there wasn't intersexism in the trans community, and y'all understood sex more clearly as a construct of constellations of traits, and also if ur lazy asses didn't hate intersectionality sm.
