Do you mind giving a list of the transmasc artists in that sp*tify playlist, I wanna listen to transmasc artists but I hate sp*tify soooooo much

Sure! I wouldn't use spotify if I didn't have a cracked version of premium, it truly is fucking awful lmao.

I'm adding specific songs of theirs I like because I know other people also find it easier to get into an artist if they are recc'd a specific song. Also the artist bandcamp when applicable:

Dreamer Isioma / Sunset Drive + Dumb In Love With You

Tobre / FTMLOVE

Joe Stevens / Daughterson

Anjimile / Baby No More + Animal

Athens Boy Choir / Fagette + Tranny Got Pack

Malaika Mfalme / Good Man

Art Project / Gender Nightmare + Enemy Estrogen + Pretty boy

Miles McKenna / Boys Will Be Boys

Schmekel (and all the jewish tboys cheer) / FTM at the DMV

Skylar Kergil / Brothers

First Ever Boys / Guts + Friends Who Kiss

Mavi Phoenix / Aventura

Ryan Cassata / boy on boy

Beverly Glenn-Copeland / La Vita + People Of The Loon + Africa Calling (love his music so much. it makes me feel the same way bell hooks writing does)

Zann Foth / Hindsight Cinema

Dazey and the Scouts / Sweet Cis Teen

Saint Wellesley / Captain, Oh Captain!

Freddie Lewis / Best Dressed Ex + Bell Jar

Mal Blum / Things Still Left to Say

Dump Him / Pretty Like a Boy

maybe im just being dramatic. this is reminding me once of when i was talking to a friend about how i sometimes avoid/put off getting into certain things that i know i will really like. because it feels embarrassing to be myself? its embarrassing how. Me this thing is. and my ftmloving isnt one of those things in a sense because ive been aware of how much of a major personality trait that is for me for several years now. but. like i said! its entirely one thing to think about kissing someone ive never met in person and being a teenager edater. and then. entirely another to….. do the things ive done now. i dont know. ive beginning to feel more and more like i need to find the middle path for myself. but im not sure what that looks like when the more vitriolic unforgiving side thinks just giving credence to the other side is akin to… violence. and the more open understanding side is so important to me. i cant ever give that up. maybe this is just a phase im going through. maybe in a few months ill be back to normal and a proud femme4butch amazon dyke but. oh my god. beard kissing. right now im feeling like id sacrifice the entire cause for beard kissing. but like i said in my original post. there are landdykes with beards (in theory. this is a womyn i would not have met yet. like im saying its not impossible to meet a woman with a beard who shares my politics and culture)

Ooh can I use this post to promo one of my fave transmasc hyperpop artists? Sick, go check out tobre!! He's still fairly underground (at least in terms of listenership) and I would love to see him make it big bc his music kicks ass

Here's my favorite song of his, about the shame of hooking up with a chaser, filtered through several layers of bubblegum pop to get that classic hyperpop sound

is it just me or is the "trans guys are just some boring guys and they make lame music and trans women are cool and interesting and make loud music" jokes almost like. an excuse for why theres not that many trans guys who are popular content creators or musicians or actors or authors or what have you. like blaming the invisibility of trans men on being "boring" and therefore not doing anything rather than oppression.

not to mention the example of music being that people have heard of one singular trans guy who works in a genre they dont like [people really love to act like cavetown is like specifically bad or cringe but thats just what most indie pop/rock/folk sounds like] and theyve heard of a handful of trans women who make hyperpop that they already like [and laura jane grace of course] and its really telling on themselves. theres trans guys making hyperpop and trans women making ""lame ukulele music"" and both of them and nonbinary people making music of tons of other genres. like. cmon. it reminds me of xkcd 385.

also i dont think these jokes are intentionally malicious or anything [most of the time] but it also feels sort of weird to be joking about how boring a group of marginalized people are. im not going to act like its the biggest deal in the world but its sort of low level bullying, innit? and i imagine having this weird expectation to be "cool and interesting" isnt fun for trans women either. its nice to get to be lame sometimes.

Yeah it's super weird, especially because it's repeated over and over, that part is the suspicious part. I even saw it on reddit a few days ago in one of the ftm subs. I do think it's like blaming the lack of trans men artists on trans men being "boring" instead of, you know the bigotry, the erasure, the inequality I think it's also a weird expectation that we all HAVE to live up to what other people think of as "cool" like if we're all not making hardcore metal and being as "SICK" as humanly possible, we are failing at transgender music and therefore are the reason trans men aren't represented as artists enough, which is ummm. okay.

why can't we make soft love songs about being bugs, or whatever. What happens to trans women who don't live up to the metal hardcore aesthetic? Look at Dylan Mulvaney. She made a dumb cutsie girlypop song and everyone acted like she is the founder of misogyny herself. So not only are we ridiculed for the music we make, we're trapped in transphobic expectations of what music we can or should make.

If you expect all trans women to make metal, you'll only see trans women who make metal, if you expect all trans men to make soft music, that's all you'll find! because that's all you looked for! Another thing is like, Oh all trans women music is cool and hardcore rock and roll, but trans men music is dumb and cutsie ukulele music? I wonder what gender those genres are normally associate with? Uhoh we're doing a sexism maybe the person making the joke doesn't have malicious intent, but the joke itself sure does.

@kennedypower, one of the first Trans models we worked with. He is an amazing model and supporter of the project. • No he is not a STUD, however, we love working with every spectrum of the masculine identify and we were lucky enough to captivate the support of this amazing HuMAN. • #transmodel #transgender #trans #lgbt #model #lgbtq #ftm #ftmtransgender #transgenderpride #transftm #testosterone #transqueer #transman #transition #ftmlove #transpride #ftmchange #fashion #ftmfamily #transfamily (at Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ftsUvAsM8/?igshid=avlcb8678g6z

Buona sera a tutti 💕 Non sono solito scrivere post molto lunghi, ma questa volta ho davvero bisogno del vostro aiuto!🌈 Il mio più grande sogno è che D'avenia legga il mio libro. Ultimamente c'è stato il suo firma copie a Roma, in cui avevo intenzione di dargli il mio libro e una lettera, la avresti di cui parlo in questo articolo. Per la troppa fila, purtroppo, non sono riuscito ad entrare e ad incontrarlo, anche se il mio libro gli è stato dato da delle gentilissime ragazze, che ringrazio con tutto il cuore. Quello che vi chiedo è di leggere l'articolo e postarlo nelle vostro storie o nei vostri profili, taggando D'avenia, per far in modo che sappia chi sono e abbia modo di sapere che sono io ad avergli scritto quella lettera! Grazie a tutti💞 #books #bokepvideo #bookshelf #alessandrodavenia #bookstagram #bookphotography #booklover #libridaleggereprimadimorire #library #quotes #instabooks #instafamous #photographer #photography #picsart #amazing #reading #read #autumn🍁 #photooftheday #love #lovequotes #ftmlove #ftm #transexual #trans

I just want to thank one of the greatest women in my life….my beautiful girlfriend has traveled this entire journey with me so far and never once has she made me ever feel like less of a man. She builds me up every day and I tell her my dreams and they become our dreams. She touches me and looks at me as if I’m her entire world she loves every inch of me. All of these changes my body has gone through since I started t and when I’m feeling a little dysphoric that day she kisses every inch of my body and tells me how perfect I am. I am truly blessed to have her in my life and someday I will marry her! Madison Timoteo you are my world and I love you so much thank you for everything you do and continue to do for me and for us everyday!!Happy 9 months tversary to me!
