I have been queerbashed.
I have narrowly avoided being queerbashed more than once.
And it was specifically for being a trans man.
So no, I don’t have time. I don’t have patience. I don’t have sympathy or bandwidth or whatever other soft little thing people want me to give when they deny or downplay the very real, very visceral, very dangerous oppression that people like me, that I, live through.
You want to have a thinkpiece moment? Do it somewhere else. You want to play the “who has it worse” game, or twist your mouth around some academic garbage to try and erase or diminish transmasc people? No. Out of my space. Out of my life. Out of my line of sight.
I am not a concept. I am not a theory. I am a human being who has been hunted. I am still here. And I am not interested in justifying my right to speak or exist. Not to you, not to anyone.
It's kind of stupid and annoying as fuck to me, to be honest, when people are like "trans men need to understand that women are afraid of men for a good reason-"
I think trans men KNOW.
It is literally a THING I have seen trans men speak about a lot where they start to realize they can't speak to women and interact with them the same way they used to because now they look like cis men. I think trans men who pass as cis men are well aware of the fact that women are afraid of people who look like society's expectations of what cis men look like - they literally talk about it. THEY HAVE LIVED IT.
I'm sorry, but it's just so stupid to me - do you seriously think most trans men are not WELL AWARE of what it's like to be terrified of men the same way any other woman is? Do you seriously think most trans men aren't well aware of the fact that they cannot interact with women in the same ways they used to before they started looking like cis men?
Trans men?
The men who make TikToks about how terrified they are when they have to be around a majority cis men and pretend like they're one of them?
Rich Progressive: "I used to be working class. I became rich when I became an actor, singer, athlete, or something else that I got extremely lucky and could have easily failed at. Anytime I see someone who's homeless, I realize that that could have easily been me if things were just slightly different. I still have trauma from my struggles of being working class, so I want to use my privilege to speak up for others who are currently struggling."
Working Class Conservative: "Oh come on. You're rich. You can't speak for me. You have no idea what it's like for people like me who have to work multiple jobs just to feed my family. Now shut up and move out of the way so I can listen to rich people who were born rich, got richer by exploiting the working class, and openly advocate for policies that will make them richer, but who I worship because they hate the same people I do."
"trans men/mascs transition out of oppression and towards privilege" is a terf talking point and it will never be progressive.
Someone who openly celebrated sexual abuse of children has been arrested for sexual abuse of children.
......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"
*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all
When a cis man gets offended and says, "Not all men," it is generally in the context that he feels he is personally being attacked as an individual, and said to try and halt a conversation on sociopolitical issues that he is not generally a victim of (benefits from, even).
When transmascs get offended and say, "Not all men," it is generally in the context of them feeling erased from a sociopolitical perspective on the basis of their nuanced identity (not a cis man but not a woman-- or, in the case of some genderfluid / multigender individuals, not just a woman), and said to try and broaden a conversation on sociopolitical issues (because they are far deeper than just, "masculinity as a whole is evil, and men are trash") that they are being othered from, despite facing said sociopolitical issues as a victim of them.
Whether you acknowledge this or not, you having the same exact negative reaction to both instances is a reflection of a cisgender-centric worldview.
Finding a colorblind friendly redesign of the rainbow flag has me happy to see a pride flag for once

Reblog if you think self diagnosing is valid
TERFs do not only fucking hate trans women you IDIOTS
Terfs are radical feminists so they believe man bad woman good masculinity bad femininity good
So if you're a trans woman they hate you for supposedly being a Bad Man trying to be a Good Woman ("we're gonna rat you out and hurt you and jail you and kill you for being secretly the dangerous gender")
And if you're a trans man they hate you for supposedly being a Good Woman trying to be a Bad Man ("we're going to isolate you from all your communities and your family and rape you and abuse you until you stop trying to Betray Womanhood and become the dangerous gender and everyone knows we gotta KILL the dangerous gender cause yeah we do that too") and then the liberals are like "Well you're not really trans right? I don't see anything on the internet about trans men so obviously you're just a butch lesbian right" and queer people are like "well Trans Boys 👶 (clearly the best term to use) have it a lot easier than Trans Women 👩🦰 (adults, more mature) so we don't really need to mention them ever do we. It's kinda MRA Not All Men to say you wanna be represented and mentioned isn't it? I think actually if you like being so masculine you better just shut up and protect us instead" and trans people are like "haha wittle tboy wittle binder baby ukulele light brown fluffy hair everything about you is cringe never speak up ever ever ever"
I'm getting off track here
You get my point. Though.
Dear Leopard,
I really appreciate you eating people's faces. But can you stop eating mine?
This is why I have zero sympathy for Brian Thompson.
every time I do a web search, right at the top I have AI info dumping on me
just give me the top result please
Not all Alterhumans are nonhuman
Not all Alterhumans are fully nonhuman
Some Alterhumans are partially nonhuman
Some Alterhumans are human
Otherheartedness is a deep rooted identity, just as otherkinity is
Otherlinks are valid
P-shifters, biological Therians and delusional Therians are valid
Therianthropy is the experience of identifying as an animal in ANY way
Alterhumanity is an umbrella term for all beings who aren't fully human in any way
Alterhumanity isn't just Therians, otherkins and otherhearteds
Therianthropy is not masks and tails and quadrobics
Edit: [the label otherpaw isn't actually harmful]
Quadrobics does not make you a therian
Some nonhumans don't like the label therian
Physical Therians and biological Therians do not make the community look bad
Alot 'therians' on yt and TikTok are just misinformed kids who do not deserve hate for a mistake
YOUR EXPERIENCE IS VALID‼️
Yup, and by now they are well aware that I am a minor and they said this on something attached to me venting about my experiences as a trans individual some people are so fucked up
I'm a trans guy, I'm still a minor I live with my parents and my little sister I've tried explaining dysphoria to them in so many ways it's driving me insane I've tried explaining chest dysphoria as feeling like my breasts are tumors(cause that's what they feel like to me) I've tried explaining voice dysphoria as feeling like someone else's voice is coming out of my mouth, I've tried explain that when I look in the mirror it feels like the wrong person is looking back but it still just gets treated like an insecurity or like I'm being dramatic I'm not insecure I don't think I'm ugly I just think I look incorrect and I don't know how to explain it to them when I've tried in so many ways I might as well try learning another language to explain it in that one
I'm constantly misgendered I get deadnamed all the time and then get treated like the bad guy when I get frustrated or upset I've been openly trans for over a year most of the adults in my life do not know I'm trans cause my parents haven't told them and they completely ignore pronouns pins or the fact people are referring to me as a guy or in a gender neutral manner they act like they're being inconvenience by having to use the correct pronouns and name and gendered terms, like me doing things to feel more comfortable in my body is an annoyance to them, I get slightly side eyed when I talk about my dysphoria and wanting to go on testosterone or top surgery
hell they've tried making me promise I won't medically transition till I'm 21 which is bullshit because I've told them how I've literally fucking cried because of how badly I wish I was more masculine, told them how it feels like the person in the mirror is wrong, like my voice isn't my own, I've told them how much distress my dysphoria caused me and they don't give a fuck and then I get yelled at and punished and mocked when I get upset
I have been told to my face before by my mom that she wishes she wishes I was a cishet Christian girl who wasn't asexual and who wanted kids(I'm paraphrasing because my memory hates my guts and I can't remember the exact wording) while she knew I was openly trans and in a long term relationship with a woman I'm expected to sympathize with how hard changing how they talk is for them but they don't seem to give a shit that it's not just difficult for me it's distressing and damaging to my mental health
But they're not transphobic right?/s
But they're so supportive right?/s
God I can't fucking wait to move out
My dad can get so drunk that he literally can't walk and be forgiven the next day even though it could literally kill him even though he's supposed to stop drinking but I can't even take birth control that keeps me from having periods every month🙄
