I've seen people calling Aiden Thomas a transmed author (mostly cause some transmeds like to claim his books), but if you followed Aiden Thomas on social media you'll see this not the case, also I think the reason why a lot of white transmeds resonate with his novels like Cemetery Boys and The Sunbearer Trials, has nothing to do with Aiden Thomas's writing and more to do with the fact that Aiden Thomas writes stories about LATINO trans men, and for a lot of white transmascs the message went way over their head.
In my own personal experience as a latino trans guy I relate much more to Aiden Thomas's work then to most other transmasc authors, because Aiden knows that it's a lot easier for us to internalize those toxic ideas of gender. Toxic masculinity is prevalent in latine culture it has it's own damm name "machismo". Therefore it's a lot harder for us to come to the realization that there's nothing wrong with our bodies and the problem stems from the way society views them. To add to that just as toxic masculinity is so over enforced in latine culture so is toxic feminity, so many of us feel the need to present very femininely before we finally decide to start presenting as ourselves. So once we actually come out and start presenting as male we try to compensate for that. On top of that growing up latine and afab means you and your body gets sexualized a lot more often. Mostly by the white supremacist stereotype of the curvy spicy Latina.
With all of that I can easily explain why when I read The Witch King, a novel about a white trans guy, when Wyatt said that he doesn't have a problem with his body and it was the way that people saw him as female, I personally couldn't relate.
But now going on the the actual content of Aiden Thomas's work (I will only be touching on Cemetery Boys because I haven't finished the Sunbearer Trials 😅).
Yadriel starts the novel with a lot of internalized transphobia which he's not even aware of. This is because at this point, he is the only queer person he knows, and he's surrounded by people who see him as different for who he is. It's not until he meets Julian, another queer person who has interacted with many other queer people. It's not until Yadriel starts talking to Julian and his friends that he starts realizing that everything he was taught about what it means to be a man is bullshit by the end of the book while I'm sure Yadriel hasn't 100% gotten over his internalized transphobia, he set on a path to unlearn it.
Aiden Thomas isn't a transmed author he just writes about the trans experience from a perspective that is often overlooked.
Closing off I would like to set the record cause as a latino trans author that's currently working on a novel about a latino trans boy mc. For any transmeds who wanna claim my work, it's not for you.

#alexander avila#aretheygay#plagarism and you(tube)#it sucks that this QUEER latino trans man got his shit stolen#it’s reprehensible that this queer LATINO trans man got told to back off from protecting his own work and effort#it’s horrific that this queer latino TRANS MAN had to straight up watch three videos be stolen with nary a glanc#just emphasising for everyone how fucked up it is Avila had to go through that

Vent:
I hate that beauty standards are centered around white people. sure, I'm somewhat white passing, but all my facial features scream Indigenous American. I'm honestly more upset that I'm pale. I understand that I get white privilege, boy do I, but I honestly feel so ugly not having the beautiful dark skin my grandparents have, or the thick black hair.
I feel like I'm not indigenous and Mexican enough. but I'm also not white enough (especially since I'm not white). somewhere in between, not fitting in.
My tribe was colonized by Spaniards, I'll never know what it was like beforehand. I love being native but I'm just so depressed that we were colonized.
I just feel like I'm a fakey. I want to stay true to my roots, but how do I do that when they're so transphobic and religious in a way that looks down upon me?

every now and then I remember that time my transfem friend and I were talking about her trauma and her transition and suddenly she said "but yeah you didn't go through any of that because trans men don't get harassed or bullied and have it overall easier" and I just felt so deeply upset at how she just assumed all the pain I went through couldn't exist because I somehow had it easier. I didn't even say anything because I didn't want her to think I was angry at her, because if I do then suddenly I'm an Angry Man that's exaggerating
#not to mention im latino and she's white#how can you say 'yeah you didn't suffer bullying' to a latino neurodivergent trans man that you've known is mentally unwell for years#maybe its because she idolizes me a lot but please i just want people to see me like a person and not like some concept they can define#also it's really sad seeing people say 'trans men have it easier' like I didn't get beat up and socially and psychologically bullied#ever since i came to Spain because of racism and homophobia and transphobia and ableism and every form of bigotry you can think#and even to this day i still have to deal with all that#even when i think im safe I'm never really safe for one reason or another#and being a man doesn't make me any less vulnerable#valentine.txt#valentime#sorry for the rant gamers I'm still upset and i haven't talked about it to her because I don't want her to feel bad

Something something election thoughts. Feels like the world is closing in on me. I keep having to steady my breathing & remind myself that, as of right now, I live on mostly safe & secure ground. I'm not enrolled in any sort of education, I'll be okay if the DOE falls apart. I live amongst a bunch of other racial minorities. I'll probably still be able to transition if I stay where I am & just... don't do anything risky or stupid.
It's his last term. If 4 years passed quick the first time, they'll pass again. Shitty elections & presidents just a part of growing up and adulting in the U.S. I can't get everything I want, after all. Come on, Jonah. You're 21. Be a man.
Feels kinda selfish to push all the Southerners and other countries and the younger people in my family out of my mind for a minute, but for the sake of not becoming a statistic & hopefully seeing a better world later, I think I gotta focus on what's still safe.
Most of the country is falling apart, but... right now, I still have myself. So I'm hanging on to that. I can still keep trying to access an education. I can still keep drawing and working hard. And as long as this roof stays over my head... it'll be okay.
Practicing some gratitude for the following:
A clump of cells & some literal dick's audacity won't get me killed on these grounds. Not yet. Hopefully not ever.
I still have access to all the music I'd like to hear. Haven't heard Cavetown's voice in a long time. That cover of "I Know A Place" has been comforting.
I'm not bound to book bans. I can keep reading about disability rights, queer people, herpetology, and any other animal science/sociology topic I want. Plenty of books in my inventory that I haven't got through yet.
I'm a skilled guy. Maybe it's time to lock in and take art more seriously. PB merch might sell? I could use half the money on me and the other half on the Recess Project or something. Update my comms prices a bit.
There's a gaming channel uploading Let's Play videos of one of my favorite Mario RPGs. They've been posting every day. So I always have something to look forward to :,)
I got a neat new outfit yesterday. I think I'll wear it. Boost my ego a bit.

Cis people who respond to transphobia with other forms of bigotry are the epitome of performative allyship. Like caring about trans people means caring about
Trans POC
Trans women
Neurodivergent trans people
Working class trans people
Fat trans people
Diabled trans people
Trans immigrants
Trans gay people
Jewish trans people
Muslim trans people
Latine trans people
You either care about all of us or none of us

BOOK REC
Exodus 20:3
by Freydís Moon - find them on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok
the storygraph link for this book contains information such as page count, publication date, and community-created content warnings.
Exodus 20:3 is a standalone love story centered around Diego, a Mexican-American trans man, and the relationship he forges with a Brazilian angel named Ariel as they refurbish an abandoned church in New Mexico together. It’s a beautiful blend of queerness and religious eroticism that comes in at around 100 pages on my Kindle edition, and has been recently updated with a new cover (see above) that is absolutely gorgeous. There is prayer, body worship, divinity kink where the divinity is no fantasy, hemipenes, and more eyes and teeth and wings than humans are used to experiencing in their love affairs. I absolutely loved it.
A note about body terminology for trans readers: Diego’s genitalia (he has had top surgery but not bottom surgery) is referred to using feminine terms such as “cunt” and “clit.” Some trans readers might find this dysphoria-inducing or otherwise upsetting.
Diego is what many people would call “troubled.” He does camming out of desperation for money, has recently quit using opiates illegally, and is struggling to deal with his mother’s disappointment once she found out about the latter through Diego crashing a car and getting sent to jail once the cops found said opiates inside the car. Basically, he’s not having a fun time as the family disappointment, so he reluctantly agrees to his mother’s plan for him to earn enough to pay her back for his bail money via refurbishing the church in New Mexico.
Ariel is the church’s caretaker. Diego is attracted to him from the jump, but that attraction is tempered with the wariness of a prey animal who has been hunted down and abused one too many times. Diego isn’t used to tenderness or genuine love from his sexual partners, and he isn’t interested in getting mixed up with someone and used in ways that don’t make him happy in the long term. I really loved how complicated Diego is—he’s tough as nails because the world hasn’t treated him gently, but also desperate for real affection because of how love-starved he’s become over the years.
Ariel isn’t smothering when offering that affection, nor parental in caring for his new laborer. Initially, he comes across as enigmatic and perfunctory, reclusive and emotionally distant. But as he insists on digging into Diego’s past, so too does Diego start putting the pieces together and realizing that Ariel isn’t quite the man he seems. During their first sexual encounter with each other, consent is kind of iffy, but it gets talked about later between the characters. The sex scenes are lavish and drawn out, abstracted by Freydís’ beautiful prose into things elegantly rendered yet primal in their intensity.
The writing in this novelette is exquisite, by the way. Freydís has a command of language that I’m nakedly envious of, and there were multiple points where I stopped to re-read certain passages just to savor the taste of them, as well as the beautiful wordplay and turns of phrase. I keep a list on my phone of 1-2 sentence snippets I read in various places that are too good not to write down, and that list gained several entries from this book.
Finally, I really liked Exodus 20:3’s frank discussions of trauma and oppressive systems. As a Mexican-American, Diego is no stranger to the violence constantly forced upon brown bodies by the United States government, and as a trans man he’s equally familiar with transphobic violence from cis people. Although Freydís makes absolutely zero attempts to gloss over or divert attention from real-world issues inherent to their characters’ identities, nothing ever felt hopeless. Diego is initially very cynical, but as his relationship with Ariel evolves so too does he undergo a change of heart toward the nature of faith. You can get a side of religious philosophy with your steamy monster fucking in this book, if you choose to accept it.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and cannot recommend it enough to anyone who’s in the mood for queer Latino romance stories. I can say with confidence that nobody who chooses to pray at Freydís’ altar will be left unsatisfied.

I dont watch 911 and im all for the bi firefighter but I think its extremely telling that he's gotten so much hype and excitement and I havent seen nearly as much for the black lesbian who has been there since the first fucking episode
#the same thing happens with the spin off lmao#theres a black trans man! but all the hype goes to the white gay man#his boyfriend gets hype but thats because fandom loves to oversexualize latino men el oh el#its not surprising at all but it is very fucking telling! the racism is showing!
