RYAN (HEAD-BUTT), 1999 “That’s not my blood. I was making out with my main squeeze on a stoop in the East Village and some macho jock dickhead walked by and called us fags. I don’t think he expected me to get up in his face. We scrapped a bit and then I head-butted him and could feel his nose break on my forehead. We ran for blocks, laughing at the top of our lungs, and then jumped into bed, where my boyfriend took this picture of me.”

people who say they are trans are trans. period. even if they “still look cis,” even if the only difference you, personally, notice is that they use different pronouns, even if they are totally closeted. people who call themselves trans are not cis. you do not get to un-trans someone because they do not present the way you want them to, or because they are closeted, or because they don’t pass, or for any other reason. if you see a trans person and your first thought is “gtfo trans spaces, you are not Trans Enough,” that is a you problem and you should square that away before you make any attempt to interact with other trans people. 

some of us live in the real world, where it isn’t so easy or safe to be fully out or present the way we’d actually like. some of us don’t have access to the resources that would allow us to pass. some of us will never pass and don’t care about it anymore. and even if none of these things were the case, for fuck’s sake, presentation is not gender. nonbinary people who present in ways congruent with their assigned gender are not somehow less trans.

I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE HOT MOMS IN MY AREA FOR SO LONG I FORGET WHICH THOUGHTS ARE MINE. I THINK EVERY TIME SOMEONE READS MY ART A LITTLE PIECE OF THEM IS PLACED IN MY HANDS. I TRY TO USE THEM TO FILL THE HOLE THAT TYPING MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT THEY ARE FRAGILE AND HOT GLUE IS IMPRECISE. I KNOW FOR A FACT I CAN PLAY THIS GAME WITHOUT CUMMING.

It's really weird to be an adult trans man, sometimes. Fitting in with youth-centric trans spaces is a struggle. So much FTM positivity is juvenile and focussed on "trans boys". Which is totally fine in itself, and I'm glad young trans guys have that positivity to enjoy... But I hope that allies of FTM guys know that juvenile advice and endearments aren't a catch-all, and many of us are well into adulthood. I'd prefer to be affirmed as a man. I don't like being called cute or adorable, except by my partner. I'm just not a particularly cute or adorable person, and I never have been. I'm definitely not a boy.

I've spoken with some non-binary transmasculine friends who feel similarly. While they don't necessarily call themselves men, they do call themselves "guys", and don't enjoy infantilising endearments.

I don't think youth-centric endearments are inherently bad, but I do take issue with FTM and transmasc endearments being limited to that, so often. I just feel that there's less and less space for masculine trans people and trans men who don't vibe with being cute or adorable.

One of the hottest men I ever met was a trans man with a big beard, a thick moustache, and a hairy non-op chest. He wore leather and rode a motorbike, and I reckon he was about 40 when I met him. He never had surgery and never wanted to. He was a big, loud, gruff bear. He was proud to be a transsexual man and he had a masculinity I've never quite seen in anybody else before. I feel like that kind of FTM energy is so unappreciated, especially online.

Also, like... Not all young trans men want to be seen as cute, adorable boys. It's totally fine if they do, but that's not everyone's idea of gender affirmation. Even teenage trans men may not enjoy the idea of being called a cute boy. Many young trans men want to be like that gruff biker bloke. I don't like that this ideal of FTM existence is so commonly dismissed in favour of cutesy boy ideals.

It'd be nice if we could remember that some trans guys just want to be grown, masculine men.

All kinds of affirmation should exist, and we shouldn't neglect trans guys who set out to be as masculine as possible. Masculinity isn't bad or wrong, and wanting to be received as a masculine man isn't bad or wrong.

WONDER BAR (1934) | dir. Lloyd Bacon

“The other [scene that stands out above the rest] involved a handsome man, asking a dancing couple if he could cut in. The female partner, expecting his attention, agrees, only to see him dance with her male partner. Jolson then flaps his wrist and says, “Boys will be boys. Woo!”. This scene almost caused the Production Code to reject the film, and was featured in the opening scenes of the documentary film The Celluloid Closet (1996).”
