#Transgender issues

[genderqueerdykes]

you're not getting revenge on or rebelling against the patriarchy by holding trans men down, belittling us, treating us like we're demons, and not letting us speak. you're being transphobic and harming queer people. youre targeting the wrong kind of men. trans men are not the men who are oppressing you. trans men are also affected negatively by the cisgender patriarchy we live under. remember this.

terfs and radfems love to say they advocate for trans men/mascs and then continuously misgender us, objectify us, send us death and rape threats, harrass us, call us delusional women (and when they want to sprinkle in a little homophobia, "confused lesbians"), tell us we're mutilating ourselves, spread fearmongering misinformation about bottom surgery (especially phalloplasty), make fun of trans men/mascs looks, make fun of feminine trans men/mascs, make fun of masculine trans men/mascs, make fun of androgynous trans men/mascs, call us gay men fetishizers, tell us to stay away from gay men, call us predatory in general, make us feel like we're not allowed to date anyone, if we're gay and t4t call us lesbians, and countless other horrific behaviours like who the hell do you think you're fooling?

moment of vulnerability: as a transmasc nonbinary person I have very low self esteem and struggle to love myself and my body. I am scared that I come off as annoying, rude, socially awkward, and have a very hard time accepting that someone could be attracted to not just my body but my personality as well.

If you've struggled or are struggling with this can you please share anything that has helped you?

If you are a transmasc person in a relationship (sexual or romantic) can you please share because I feel like i rarely see transmasc rep in romance and it doesn't help discourage the idea that im unlovable.

Anyone else feel embarrassed to be trans? Like…I wear my name tag with my preferred name and my trans and pronouns badges on my hat at work and for some reason I feel so embarrassed. Especially because I’m pre T and I don’t even have my gender affirming haircut yet so I literally look like a regular cis girl to everyone. And even when I do get my haircut I fear it’s gonna be so obvious I’m trans and I won’t pass at all.

And then when I go out with my friends and try to dress masc (even if it’s just to feel slightly less dysphoric) I feel embarrassed even then cause I literally just look like a girl who’s a tomboy or something.

I try to deepen my voice at work when speaking to customers and my colleagues and it’s probably so obvious cause I can’t keep up with it for long and my voice ends up pitching anyway. I hate it. I don’t know what to do to help me feel less embarrassed.

And also dissing the Cass report... it's a relevant read for those who would be impacted by it's implementation

transphobes who are obsessed and fixated on gender who project their obsessions and fixations on to the trans community are hilarious- they say that we can't go without thinking about or mentioning our genders but then bring up theirs unprovoked. "I'm a man i can't do that," "of course i like that I'm a woman," "you can't do that to me I'm a man," "women can't wear that," "men aren't weak like that," "women can't participate in that," etc. etc. etc. etc.

these people are literally so obsessed with gender they can't separate themselves from it and yet they project. even if a trans person is obsessed with gender it's better than obsessing over other's genders to oppress them and prevent them from living freely any day. a trans person who can't shut up about how they love being trans is infinitely better than someone who can't shut up about how other people shouldn't be able to do things for arbitrary reasons

"i bet [transmasc person] will end up as a terf anyway lmao" you know thats a fucked up thing to say right? you know it's fucked up to say that when terfs actively try to groom transmasc people, especially young transmasc people, into becoming terfs right? Right?

More than 1,000 Calgarians showed up at city hall Saturday to protest against the United Conservative government. The "Stop the UCP" rally, organized by Trans Action Alberta and Queer Citizens United, ran from about 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and featured speakers including NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi. The Alberta government introduced bills earlier this week to prohibit minors from receiving certain types of gender-affirming care, require parents be notified when a child wants to use a different name or pronoun in the classroom, and also require that parents opt-in before their children are taught about sex in class. Another bill is designed to address the participation of transgender athletes in sport.

What's a good gender neutral term for feminine hygiene products?

[astarionsilverbough]

i have this fucking coworker who is VERY vocal (online only ofc) about not voting.

they recently changed their pronouns to they/them on Instagram. now, see - i’ve been both very vocal in person and online about how i, a trans man, who has been saved by access to trans healthcare such as hormone replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgery, am going to be voting for harris/walz in order to protect not only myself but other trans folks.

who will be amongst the first on the firing line if tr*mp wins.

and they recently changed their pronouns to they/them…. as if to shield themselves or excuse the fact that they’re not voting by going “look! i’m TRANS, and I’M so self-sacrificing and I’M better than you OTHER trannies!!!!!”

and as someone with a very different trans experience and a very medically aligned trans experience…. it’s foul. they believe that a revolution is coming, and not only that but they want violence. they want this “revolution” that will, of course, in fantasies of these types’ own making, be won without any effort or gruesome consequences. without any planning or strategizing.

as they offer the marginalized folks they cannot even fathom suffering like up on the chopping block.

i have fought so hard to want to live. i have fought tooth and fucking nail to want to live and to have a life i love. i didn’t ask to be a martyr. i cannot help palestine if i am dead - nor can any of us.
