Why do I keep seeing transmascs and trans men insisting or implying that all trans men are "female socialized," or "understand the female experience," or "navigated the world as a woman." Because yeah, sure, that can be true for some people. especially if you weren't gnc at all as a kid and didn't crack your egg until well into adulthood, it makes sense.

But they don't stop at saying they had that experience. It always comes with an addendum that trans men, as a group, all can relate to this experience. I don't know about the entirety of my demographic, but I never got even a little bit of what some of them talk about. I didn't even believe that women were scared of going out at night until I kept consistently seeing them say it, online or wherever, for years. I never realized catcalling was a thing until I saw some women complaining about it on reddit.

But they posit it as some sort of, you're safer than cis men, right? You know what it's like? Which, on top of being patently, demonstrably false in the case of myself and many other trans men, holds some unpleasant and often outright hostile implications about trans women. And they always deny it, but if you can't even conceptualize someone like me who grew up gnc, and never got the bulk (or any?) of whatever we consider to be 'female socialization,' what does that say about what you think trans girls went through, growing up? I don't want to speak for them, as I've never experienced that firsthand, but I can guarantee that (if you're even a little bit obviously trans) people don't treat you like a cis kid of the opposite gender. By and large, they don't get treated like cis boys.

It just makes me mad that we're taking this inaccurate framework that (ever so conveniently) puts trans people into the box of our assumed birth gender, and trying to fancy it up and use it with a faux-progressive veneer; never mind the way that transphobes use it to bar trans women from being athletes, or using the bathroom, or having access to any gendered resources they need. It would be bad enough to try and dust it off and use it even if it were largely accurate, due to the aforementioned connections to outright transphobia, but it literally is patently false. Not in all cases, obviously, but why are we trying to revamp this untrue, inaccurate generalization and pretend that we can make it 'trans-inclusive?'

some days the "fire off missiles because you hate yourself but do you know you're demolishing me" and "let all your damage damage me" and "I gave you all my best mes, my endless empathy" and "in the shade of how he was living" and "how much sad did you think I had in me?" just really fucking hit 😵‍💫🥴

I know I'm just preaching to the choir here, but this article from Vanity Fair on the guests at their party really pisses me off:

"Danny DeVito from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, one of the longest-running shows on television. Other guests in attendance included...Charlie Day"

Right, Charlie Day, as in, one of the creators, executive producers, writers, and lead actors of said longest-running show on television. Why is he othered when the article directly names his show and co-star? Why is Sunny an accomplishment when it's tied to Danny DeVito but not worth the breath when it's connected to Charlie (or Glenn, or Rob)?

I get the show is never going to be appreciated by those who vote for these kinds of awards, I know RCG get that, but come-fucking-on with this shit. You're going to bolster the fact that a prestigious star attended your party by citing a contingent achievement the show he's on has, but you're going to shove one of the creators of that show into the 'other' category in the same fucking paragraph?

What's the point of that, other than to lessen (R)C(G)'s connection to the accomplishment that you can claim prestigious actor Danny DeVito is apart of? Keep them unknown, keep them nobodies not worthy of highlighting in your article. We have evidence Rob and Glenn were at that party, don't we? Not even named at all, not even an "other".

hello!

i'm sure you all have forgotten about me already which is totally valid, it's been complete radio silence over here for weeks. i just wanted to touchbase in case anyone was still waiting on the hook or curious about my whereabouts. i feel very weird about riize at the moment, specifically concerning seunghan and i wish that i could riize above, but it's really difficult. it's exhausting living in this fandom with zero answers and zero reassurance, to see him completely wiped from riize's existence like he was never there. it's one of several problems i have with the kpop industry, and it's grown increasingly difficult to ignore. i know that that has no bearing on the other members, but it's so hard to separate the two, you know?

so i'm not sure what i'm going to do with this blog. riize are not my ult although i love them dearly, and so maybe this is a time for me to pivot towards writing for the other groups i listen to. or maybe just hit the pause button until seunghan comes back (fingers crossed because that's ambitious, i know). i love the community on here and everyone's so lovely, but that's not really enough for me to keep moving, at least not right now. so, i guess this was a whole lot of nothing, but it's something to me! it's not a farewell, just an honest update about my feelings and headspace at the moment.

i haven't read fic my entire hiatus, and maybe i'll come back just to read for awhile! all of you are so talented and i've definitely missed that aspect, so there's that :) i'll give another update when i feel more concrete in everything, and thank you in advance for understanding
