I am not a failed woman, I am sick of the rhetoric that trans men aren’t men but instead “failed” or “ruined” women. I am a man. I am soldered iron. And I’m done apologising for being trans, and minimising my identity to make myself palatable for cis people who get tired of me bringing up trans things even in passing. Fuck you, I’ll stay bitter. God forbid a trans person BE TRANS. Like no shit I’m excited that I might actually start T soon when my rights are being taken away.

Stay strong everyone, LGBTQ+, Allies, Disabled people, Neurodivergent people, POC, and anyone who’s tired of apologising to the majority for being themselves. Don’t apologise for who you are, life is too short, and you’re too awesome.

My tboy friends and I had another hairdye haircut night- which means that for like five hours we just look like a walking forcemasc post. So I made another bunch of images out of them because I love my buddys 👍

I made a similar post a while ago the last time we did this, so this is kind of a sequel I suppose

also got called sir at work which was a very very pleasant feeling and made me tear up when i was retelling it

it’s about the little things sometimes

got a new packer that’s technically my first one

it’s just one of those simple foam bulge packers but it was really nice to try out for the night

wasn’t sure on them but this is a good starting point, gonna give it some trial and then likely upgrade to a more standard silicone one with a harness

overall gender euphoria moments, so good rating

i just remembered that back in elementary and high school, i was friends with a lot of guys and most of them were boy scouts. we were such a tight knit group that it sucked that i was getting left out of things that they wanted me to be a part of. these were all cishet identifying boys at the time, and because i was expressing that i wished i could be in scouts with them, they actually went to their scout leader on my behalf to ask if i could be let in even though i was a "girl". they didn't see me as any different than them. they didn't understand why i couldn't be a part of it.

if you ask me, that's all the proof anyone needs that transphobia & misogyny are learned, not innate. these boys were not old enough to have it drilled into their head at "girls" can't do things that boys "can". they were too young to understand that a "girl" wanting to be masc and seen as a boy could ever be a "bad thing". they saw me as one of the boys. it was never questioned. i actually visited all of these friends after i transitioned and started T and none of them had issues.

they always saw me as one of the boys, to the point of fighting on my behalf to try to get me accepted into their boyscout troop. transphobia, misogyny, and all of these other forms of hatred are learned. not innate. don't let anyone brainwash you into thinking that boys and men are inherently hateful. they're not

All those boys reblogged/liking my posts:

I see you. I hope you remember that, no matter what your body looks like, no matter what people see you as, no matter WHAT, you are a man. I see you. And I know what you are.

You are strong. You are desirable. You are sexy.

This is for all my mutts out there

alert alert a trans man expressed enjoyment in being a man for a moment and didn’t feel sorry about it y’all gotta do something about it how dare he say “men are cool” without stating he knows oppression and patriarchy exists and he’s sorry before that

government wants trans people to detransition so here’s them chasing me to hot glue my bazoinkers back on

[dogphoric]

gotta say i don't like how many "how to pass ftm" guides are straight up just like. be monotone and uninterested and don't engage in your "feminine" hobbies and don't wear bright colors and don't be polite and don't smile at people and don't show emotion ever. like how precisely is this a healthy thing to be teaching people (especially the young people these are often targeted at)??? i am a bubbly boy. a cheerful chap. a merry man. a good-humored guy. a glowing gent. a veritable ray of fucking sunshine and i am NOT toning that down!!!! fuck you!!!!!!!

To any trans man who needs to hear this: When they say they “hate all men” or want to “kill all men,” you don’t have to just accept that. It’s okay to feel hurt, it’s okay to feel unsafe. It’s okay to recognize that they are either othering your manhood or demonizing you for it, and to call them out for it if you’re in a position to. If they have trauma around men, they can work on that in private instead of expressing harmful sentiments around their marginalized male friends. You deserve love and safety. I love you and I hope I can help you feel safe.

Some comments from an interesting Reddit thread I came across

everybody shut up. heart shaped top scars

hey actually? i love being a man. i love my body hair and my deep voice and i hate the patriarchy but i will always take the chance to help my girl friends if I ever can. I love making silly boy poses and i love my facial hair and fantasizing about geting muscles and being a strong male role model.

i love being a good boy. i love being a good boyfriend. it can be hard sometimes to be a trans man, but it is so so so worth it to take the steps that improve your life tenfold. i love you, random transmasc. your life has value

Transmascs & trans men will see the world and be like "is anyone gonna make that a little better just by being in it" and not wait for an answer
