i am so fucking sick of all the trans discourse im seeing on my tl at the moment. trans women have it hard. trans men have it hard. non-binary and other trans identities have it hard. nobody has the same experience as another person and as a trans masc person im (1/8)
and since then the only people who have misgendered me are doing it on purpose. and it takes effort but i just ignore them now because as long as i know who i am then im happy (3/3)
as an alt trans guy with shitty genetics i promise anyone seeing this you do not have to dress boring to pass!! i have bright purple hair and look and sound very feminine and still strangers and people who know me are confused when i tell them im trans (1/3)
bc they honestly just think im a moderately flamboyant gay guy. i have never changed my style in order to pass better, ive never made myself boring for cis peoples comfort. yes i'll get misgendered occasionally but honestly voice exercises did WONDERS for me at 16 (2/3)
noticing how every single "passing tip" is white-centered and only applicable to fit, western, privileged, white men, and everything in the "avoid" category is relevant towards alt subcultures, nonwhite cultures, and criticizes anything that isnt just "boring typical white man"
I HATE that I know the mindset of why a subsection of trans women hate trans men
It's because they're projecting their trauma of masculinity onto us for "choosing" it and rejecting their dream
But yall are THIRTY doing this
You thought E would heal your trauma
YOU gotta do that
the lgbtq+ community has a huge problem with throwing the "less conventional" queers under the bus to save themselves (which won't get bigots to spare them) and i need people to talk about it more.
going on a picnic tomorrow so probably wont be able to do a proper wieiad with pictures but i'll try my best ive already tracked everything and it comes to less than 1000cal for the full day
but actually how is it so hard for some people to grasp that trans men don't magically attain the same social status as cıs men when we very famously live in a transphobic society. like it's mind-boggling to me amd so frustrating
does nothing but keeps us down and it's not fair on anyone in the community for that to happen. i dont expect anyone to have read this far but if you have thank you, i hope you have an amazing day/night <3 take care (8/8)

puts us against each other when we should be fighting for our rights, especially right now. i literally do not give a fuck about what anyone has to say unless it is actively uplifting ALL trans people. reducing trans people to their respective traumas and dysphoria (7/8)
