"can I be [x gender] if I..." "can I still call myself [x term] if..." yes. yes. if you like the term then use it. do whatever you want forever. labels are just little words we use to categorize our infinitely complex existential experiences on this floating rock !! no two people who use the same label are going to experience it the same way and that's the beauty of it !! use "contradictory" labels, use labels that don't make sense to anyone, change your label every day or not at all, explore anything and everything, use no labels at all or every label under the sun, confuse people or correct them or let them assume things rather than explaining, I promise nothing other people think about your identity is worth your happiness !!

Got my first ever pair of tefillin today and I’ve never felt so affirmed in my life. Being a trans Jewish guy is interesting cause I’m not affirmed by the “normal” goyisch things like sex, working out, ect; I’m affirmed when o wear my kippah, I’m affirmed when I put on tefillin, I’m affirmed when I follow the male commandments. I love it.

Not to sound too intense, but this is the best thing I've read all day.

I really, really relate with you on this, anon. I don't (yet!) wrap or own tefillin, but I feel so so much more affirmed in jewish masculinity and manhood than I did in goyisch ones. It's hard to explain, but I feel right when my manhood is seen jewishly. There is absolutely a conversation we can have about gender and commandments and how we interact and interpret them, but I will admit... It feels good as a trans man to wear my kippah and feel at home rather than vaguely in place in the world.

Anon, I hope you had a wonderful shabbos. I am so honored that you came to share this jewish joy here, that you are happy. It's so amazing, and I can't wait to follow in your footsteps considering I have a lot left to do

Im not in the US, but to anyone who is

Please please for the love of god stay strong. I know the situation seems helpless but there is still hope, for you and for every person in a community that will be affected. You have to keep fighting, even if that may just be making it through every day. I cant even begin to imagine what any of you are feeling right now, i love you, please keep going.

🇬🇧  Here’s one of my enby merpeople I painted with watercolours for a trans rights charity zine earlier this year. I hope you’ll like it! :D Man, it’s hard to come back. I’ve always struggled getting my work seen before trying Instagram, and tumblr is where I’m feeling it most keenly! I’m clearly doing some things wrong. 🤔 I have to figure this out! ~~~~~~~~~ 🇫🇷  Voici une de mes sir��ne enby peinte à l’aquarelle pour un zine caritatif soutenant les personnes trans, plus tôt cette année. J’espère que vous l’aimerez ! :D Eh beh, c’est dur de revenir. Mon travail a toujours eu du mal en ligne avant Instagram, et je le sens tout particulièrement sur tumblr ! Il y a des choses à revoir.  🤔 Je vais plancher là-dessus !

note to self: you do not like social media

this was my final post on my (short-lived) art insta. i just can't with that fucking app. as a high masking autistic person, video/image-based apps like instagram and tiktok just reinforce that whole "Life Is A Constant Performance" thing that already consumes every moment of my waking life. (for me, personally. obvs if you find value in social media, do what u want forever, ily, live ur best life.)

i recognize that many artists (and particularly marginalized creators) often have to use social media to grow their business and increase their chances of earning income. and, as someone with friends and family spread all around the world, it can be the best way to keep in touch with people i care about. but being active, especially as an artist, on any "social" app (besides tumblr... if you can call tumblr a social app) is just not a tradeoff that i can personally sustain.

so,, if i make art i feel is worth sharing, it'll be here from now on. and, y'know, redbubble. because i'm a brokeass bitch. (wanna buy a sticker to support a queer/trans/AuDHD artist? [see all my sticker designs here!])

I need to think out loud - feel free to ignore

Me after saying DID doesn't affect me too bad as if it doesn't make me completely unable to feel any excitement and joy for reaching the most important goals
