ok so. I’ve been thinking.

before I figured out I was trans, I remember seeing people being transphobic and it not really personally hurting me. of course it made me upset, but I wasn’t upset because it specifically hurt me, but because it was wrong.

know, knowing I am transgender, it stings in a different kind of way. it hurts, deep inside my chest, and I feel that familiar hint of fear in the back of my mind. I am not just upset, but I am scared. there isn’t a fear like it- it’s a completely unique experience that i never felt before i realized I was trans. it truly made me realize that no matter how hard cis people try, they will never feel our pain. our fear. our anger. cis people will simply never understand it, and that aches in a very unique way.

Successful trans men

Part 2 Part 3

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

One of the best tips for writing descriptions of pain is actually a snippet I remember from a story where a character is given a host of colored pencils and asked to draw an egg.

The character says that there’s no white pencil.  But you don’t need a white pencil to draw a white egg.  We already know the egg is white.  What we need to draw is the luminance of the yellow lamp and the reflection of the blue cloth and the shadows and the shading.

We know a broken bone hurts.  We know a knife wound hurts.  We know grief hurts.  Show us what else it does.

You don’t need to describe the character in pain.  You need to describe how the pain affects the character - how they’re unable to move, how they’re sweating, how they’re cold, how their muscles ache and their fingers tremble and their eyes prickle.

Draw around the egg.  Write around the pain.  And we will all be able to see the finished product.

20 something yr old Arthur Morgan vs Teenage John Marston after John wrote poopy doo doo head in Arthur's journal

[possuminparis]

abigail: you know, arthur gives charles flowers everyday... i wish you’d do that too

john: uhhh.... okay

*the next day*

john: *gives charles flowers*

charles: what?

john: yeah, i don’t get it either

No one talks about this awesome John Marston moment…As soon as Arthur shoots his captor, John quickly grabs the guy’s gun off him, turns around and headshots Strauss’ captor in mid-air before even hitting the ground himself. All in the span of like 1.5 seconds. Not to mention, as soon as John knows his life is in the clear, his immediate next thought is to save Strauss, who he ever barely interacts with. I think this really shows the kind of man and gang member John is.
