I've been constantly accused of being trans for sex reasons since I was like 12 (and so have so many trans men and mascs I know!) so I just do NOT believe that autoandrophilia is applied to transmascs less. on a personal level, I just don't talk about it because no one ever takes me seriously which seems indicative of a problem imo
we might be dangerously close to acknowledging trans men also face challenges in society
why are people so willing to throw young transmascs under the bus :( feels like our own community still sees us as hysterical girls that can’t be trusted to make our own choices
the spectre of "transmasculinity as a disease which corrupts the purity of cis girlhood" remains strong I see.
Also "testosterone works just as well at 25" GIRL THE GROWTH PLATES. GIRL THE HIP BONES.

I do wanna point out that one of if not both the twins could also be intersex!
You’ve activated the infodump button regarding trans headcanons for the younger Pines twins:
At least one of those kids is trans. They’re said to be identical twins, which means they would’ve been assigned the same sex at birth. In order for them to be presenting as different genders at the time of the show, that means that one is trans. (Or they both are, but one hasn’t figured it out yet.)
I lean towards Dipper being transmasc and Mabel being cis, but I really enjoy all the different variations of trans headcanons people have come up with.
Gonna be a little obsessed with the idea of them both being transmasc since the previous anon mentioned transmasc Mabel, because I’m gonna be real, it hadn’t occurred to me that they might both be trans until reading that ask.
I think Gravity Falls has enough weirdness going on that thanks to supernatural gubbins the two can be trans in every direction and cis all at the same time, like quantum physics.
it truly is the most privileged men who come on here acting like their experiences are universal
i’m glad that the white man kevin who lives in a blue state in the USA got to go on testosterone when he was 16 and the only misogyny he ever experienced was being told ‘you throw like a girl’ but that does not apply to all of us
why do the kevins of tumblr feel the need to downplay our oppression. i am glad that kevin never got raped or beat up or had medical care withheld from him for being a trans man but some of us don’t get to have it that easily
i do feel like TMA and TME can be useful terms in specific conversations but the way people treat them like a binary and as basically the progressive versions of AMAB and AFAB makes me have a knee-jerk reaction whenever i see them used and it makes me have to ask "is this person fucking weird about transmascs" and a lot of the time, they are, which is unfortunate because like i said i feel like they could be useful terms in certain discussions
non-transmasc. before you is a transmasc person talking about their experiences with being transmasculine and the oppression that they experience for being transmasculine. the bomb detonates if you tell them to just call it transphobia, if you imply their oppression/experience is incorrect, if you tell them that they signed up for it for being transmasculine. begin.
