Signs I was Trans Growing Up and Now:

Wanting an adams Apple | man’s throat | prominent neck bones

Wanting a V taper but in a man way

Wanting to pee standing up

(Kinda NSFW Pt. 1) Wanted a dick

Wanted to be muscular but like… in a man way

Wanted boys toys, esp happy meal

Wanted boys clothes (way cuter and fun imo)

WANTING BOXERS (ULTIMATE GENDER EUPHORIA)

(Kinda NSFW Pt. 2) Wanting a bulge in pants -> non sexual mostly but also horny

Wanting to wear khakis and a button up for school uniform [but like in the athletic stud / masculine physique way]

WANTING TO BE SQUARE

WANTING TO BE SCQUARE AND FIT LIKE THE GUYS IN MIDDLE SCHOOLZ. Yes I would look bc they’re hot but also because I wanted to look like them so bad (still think about some of those guys to this day.. it’s been years)

(Kinda NSFW Pt. 3) Wanting to grow a d*ck / be a futa (don’t judge I was on the internet at a VERY young age)

Speaking of, wanting to be like those case where i switch gender as a kid with puberty hitting

Curious of boys bathrooms / urinals

Wanting to be in there sooooo bad

YALL… Like I rlly wanted to PEE STANDING UP

I learned how to do girl peeing standing up (like desperate white people do in nature when there’s no bathroom ig)

Spent literal days hyper fixated on learning that

Got so happy and giddy when I learned how

(Kinda NSFW Pt. 4) Wanting to wear strap on in pants

(NSFW) Aroused at the thought of being a guy / doing guy things

(Kinda NSFW Pt. 5) Wanting a boner sooooo bad

Jealous of girls who’s parents let them dress and cut their hat like a boy

Realllly Wanting my voice to crack , so much so that I would purposely make my voice crack

Wanting a raspier voice. Wanting a gruff husky voice (not necessarily trans related but it does align) (like Catra’s voice but… masculine)

Wanting to be the main guy in the Le Disko video. I’m black but I wanted to be that lil androgynous guy so so bad

(Here’s the video for reference: https://youtu.be/OBDwYaZKfnM)

Wanting to both kiss and be Princeton and Roc Royal from Mindless Behavior my man my man my man

Wanting to dress, dance, and be like the two dancer guys from Camp Rock

(NSFW Pt. 6) Wanting a pr0state so I can have @nal org@sms

And many many others

eventually you reach a point in ur gender journey (?) where you realise you genuinely don't know what being a man or being a woman means. like. when you think 'i am a man' what the fuck does that even entail. is it just vibes

no offense but you guys need to learn the difference between someone implying their experience is universal and a post simply just not being about you

My last post was being snarky but here's my genuine pronoun etiquette opinion in case you actually want to know: it's pretty much never a good idea to directly ask someone their pronouns in front of a group of people, especially if you're in a position of authority, i.e. a teacher. The stakes of this question are very high for some people and you are putting them on the spot to decide what they want to share and what is safe to share. If you have decided you want to ask for pronouns at all, you can introduce yourself with your own to remind people that they can share theirs if they want to. And for the love of god whatever you do please do not just single out the most gender non-conforming or "trans looking" (to you) person and ask only them and no one else

Let the poor man rest.

i am demisexual and get overwhelmed easily due to being neurodivergent and have had at least 6 different people today send me essays about why i'm not valid which has caused near meltdowns for me. hope this helps!

Hot take; aces aren’t oppressed

throwback to the time i caught covid-19 a couple years ago and was so scared i was gonna die, but it turned out to be just another cold. i know it was (and still is) more serious for some other people but for me it did not live up to the hype. worst thing for me was the cough. i coughed so much. i ended up binge reading reader-insert hanahaki fanfic "because if i'm gonna be sick and miserable, i might as well make it beautifully tragic."

2/10 did not meet expectations. liked having an excuse to read angst though.

queer people online: transfag too weird. transbian too problematic. cancel lil nas x

queer people irl: i literally don't have a gender but lesbian sounds cool so that's me now. im bi but im feeling gay today. im not a man and i dress femininely but my pronouns are he/him. i am repulsed by the idea of having sex but i constantly make the best dirty jokes you've ever heard

[inkskinned]

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

It can't be overstated how powerful the catharsis is when a scene of a character connecting with their wounded inner child is done right. The key poses...the expressions...the timing...storytelling like this can help to provide some healing for so many people in the audience.

my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟

[nyancrimew]

i think every queer (whether they've realized it already or not) kid should have to go through an emo phase, let's force them to listen to nu-metal while they skip school to cry about a broken heart
