I can't be like "men are awful" bc I have to let go of needlessly divisive and cynical statements like that if we are to ever truly move past this gender based culture war that drives us into hateful movements like trans exclusionary radical feminism and right wing incel communities but also there are so many men out there that are awful.
#is it weird im feeling dysphoric over this#like I've admitted it out loud that im not a woman and the trappings of being a woman have always felt terrible#but im never going to be free of the concept gender#i just wanna be nothing#i want to exist among an alien species#with bodies and reproductive systems so unlike my own that they collectively decide to treat me as an unknown quantity#my classification would simply be myself#and my body would be inert and undefinable#but misogyny is a black hole that pulls everyone in#whether they know that they're being spaghettified or not

I wish I was better at talking. I feel like such a shithead child sometimes that I can't hold a conversation like a real adult. It makes me afraid for the future of my relationships...
#feeling kinda...weird today#kinda dysphoric kinda...idk...jealous today#i wish things were different#im so jealous over other peoples bodies. every thin white tranny with a stunning jawline talking about their crazy sex lives makes me insan#why vant i have a fun life or social skills or a body i like entirely#i really really hate my fucking skin so much

waiting for the day i can consume cis gay media and not get insanely jealous, dysphoric, or both
#im losing my fuckin mind#its why i cant rewatch yr#i get so incredibly dysphoric and jealous and upset that i crash and it destroys me#the only way ive been coping with dysphoria is ignoring it. im not gonna be trans forever. one day ill wake up cis.#and i know that's insane and impossible but its also 3 am and its something that's keeping me going in a weird kinda way#its so fucking destroying seeing cis gay men proudly in love as a closeted guy#like it does something to my soul it fuckin ruins my seeing what i could have if i was just. born right.#god im tired of all of it#im sick and fuckin tired of it#im tired of feeling like this#im tired of being trans i want it to be over and done with#alright that's enough im so exhausted#vent

sorry if i might be misinterpreting ur post but: so its Not just me that gets a little bothered by how suddenly hyped up strap/packing bulge is in lesbian spaces then??? like i swear i used to have to be hyper vigilant about if my dick was visible or not & had an irrational fear of being labelled a sex pest if i ever had like morning wood during a sleepover or something & now suddenly so many tme's are out openly thirsting over plastic dick prints??? like i Guess i'd prefer other dykes openly like a bulge than act the way my paranoia insists they would; but it all just feels a bit eyeroll inducing & irritates me a bit... idk...
as someone who’s had a cis ex eagerly refer to mine as a ‘bio strap’, i do get you (especially with the hypervigilance, mood), but my frustration was less with ppl being centered on ‘strap’ as uniquely lesbian compared to other phalluses and more with the growing comfortability non-transfems build for only addressing and recognizing trans women by their dicks while not working on their other internalized transmisogyny.
like i myself am someone who generally isn’t that bottom dysphoric but what that’s gotten me is great experiences from my love life such as getting chided for perceived male socialization before being made to top by a lesbian ex again (because why would someone like me want or have different sex), or the general fact that it wasn’t until like, last year that i got to experience some explicit compliments and touches for the first time on my breasts and my body that weren’t just about my dick or otherwise typically ‘masculine’ things like my muscles (especially silly given that im just skinny and barely have any musculature). and my partners were all lgbt, several of them trans in various ways! but this didn’t stop them from taking my general comfort with my body as an excuse to hone in on my dick without fear of repercussion.
i feel like a lot of people act like being gay or trans inherently makes you deconstruct/be better about gender, and they might be better about people similar to them, but often they still wind up treating trans women like ‘different’ men and carry matching expectations as such. sometimes it’s more subtle or sometimes it’s obvious like when lesbians will sometimes use us to experiment with bisexuality, but it still happens and people hate to talk about it lol. and we don’t have to get into the frustration i feel for people being like that re: strap ons while still being weird about other kinds of dicks, as if plenty of nb people and transmascs don’t see their strap ons as extensions of themselves and as their dicks through this way, but i do feel it, lol.
#the strap on thing is annoying though lol. lads are we successfully normalize diverse bodies and removing moral judgement from body parts b#refusing to call dicks dicks and acting like plastic ones are less ‘real’ and better by being so#long post#asks

ok it's headcanon time for.... grian!!!!
in regards to identity i view him as being aro-spec, while i could find a specific label i feel like c!grian wouldn't care much into finding that label, i think he'd prefer to just identify as being on the spectrum but he wouldn't really put in the time or effort into researching it
he also is asexual!! however im just asexual myself so all my blorbos must be asexual bc it feels. weird if not
and he's gay!!! gay man, gay gay homo (but actually this is mainly just because of yhs where he says hes "no im into dudes", plus i just cannot see c!grian with a woman that man is gay)
i also see him as being on the asensual (sensual attraction is the desire to touch others in a non-sexual way, e.g. cuddling, kissing, etc) spectrum !! mainly demi-asenflux because i feel like he would only like touch from people he's close + sometimes really doesn't want to be touched, but sometimes/alot of the time he really wants to and is the clingiest
he also gives off vibes of being on the aplatonic spectrum but i cannot think of anything in specific, maybe demiplatonic and cupioplatonic? i just feel like smth is up w this man's platonic orientation,, he def wants to have friends and is willing to do so but he only really feels platonic attraction whenever he's actually close to a person
i could probably go more into detail but those are the primary ones in my head for his sexuality so lets (finally) go onto GENDER!!!!
this man is definitely transgenderism!!! he identifies as a trans-man tho i do feel like his standards of being a man definitely differ to society's, he's most definitely gender non-conforming and he mainly wears androgynous or feminine clothing most of the time (though he only really wears skirts or dresses if hes cross-dressing as ariana griande)
he also probably is somewhere on the non-binary spectrum he just doesn't really identify with it
i feel like he primarily uses it/he pronouns? he definitely feels less than human due to his watcher roots so it got used to being called it/its, he also only is called she/her when he's cross-dressing as ariana griande, and if i had to give him some neoprns i feel like he'd enjoy chirp/chirp's? or some sort of parrot themed neopronouns
i also think he wouldn't get top surgery! it's easier for him not to since he only gets dysphoric over the shape they cause (which can easily be solved via a binder) instead of the actual chest itself
ok gender part over now it's time for some other headcanons
this man is definitely 100% neurodivergent, i feel like in particular he has adhd (this man cannot finish the back of his bases and gets distracted off tasks like a dog seeing a squrriel) and autism!!! i feel like he sometimes goes non-verbal (though i feel, as a parrot hybrid, when he's non-verbal he just ends up copying what other people are saying to him, so maybe that could be considered semi-verbal?), i think he would stim ALOT using his wings, he's happy and suddenly u have feathers everywhere because he flapped them alongside his hands
i think he would also have really bad rejection sensitive dysphoria, he definitely dislikes getting rejected from things which leads to him bottling alot of things up and causing plenty of the scarian miscommunication we're all too familiar with
he also stims with bird noises alot! he likes to chirp and squawk when he's happy, tho that may also just be because he's a parrot hybrid
he definitely changes hyperfixations like the wind, one week he likes this one thing and another he likes this other thing, and i feel like he would only really have 1 or 2 special interests that actually stick around (one of them likely being architecture/building, the other probably being birds and such)
he tends to have a very changing routine and schedule due to his adhd HOWEVER he has some routines (mainly with scar in them, who prefers to have very set routines cause that man also has autism) which never change or both of them get stressed out (e.g. morning/night routine, a routine that started in the desert and then followed them onto hermitcraft - they both get very stressed out on the life series since it disrupts their routines)
this was.... alot more text than i was expecting to write but anyway!!! expect a scar one at some point
#3lscar.txt#peskytimes /r#scarian#(mentioned/implied)#grian#grianmc#hermitcraft grian#life series grian#grian headcanons#the silly#hermitcraft headcanons#im ngl i fully realised i myself am demiplatonic whilst writing this#thanks grian goodtimes

yknow. at this point ive spent roughly half of my life experiencing gender dysphoria and i can tell you it feels exactly the same when it comes to species. i'd argue ive been species dysphoric longer than ive been gender dysphoric. and i cope with it on this barest minimum level mostly because what i want just isnt possible- species-affirming medical care doesnt exist- and because of the stigma surrounding even the most surface-level identification with non-human animals.
and its not something im safe from in trans communities, the idea of nonhuman people are scapegoated by trans people and transphobes. "if we let kids identify as any gender then what if kids start identifying as animals?" vs the famous threat of "making a mockery" of trans people. i am trans people. im transgendered. i have transitioned. my experiences with gender and species are nearly identical. huge communities all over the world have made themselves known and worked to live their lives with the gender identity and presentation they feel is correct and comfortable. why is there a barrier when it comes to species?
"well you see, its weird to identify as nonhuman" okay, cool. its weird to identify outside your assigned sex and gender, too. its a mental illness to experience distress about your gender, and a lot of people still consider it a mental illness to be nonconforming at all, let alone seek medical intervention about it.
im not asking for everyone to flip their animal switches from no to yes. i just wish i could talk about this more freely without worrying about being alienated by my peers or institutionalized by the people with power over me
#posts#this post brought to you by ''my face is too short and im really fucking mad about it''#as well as ''i am becoming incredibly attached to laios touden's otherkin furry autism and projecting on him''#almost made a random lighthearted comment calling myself insane but actually i refuse to do that on this one. thats the whole point of this

Is there a way to politely “break up” with my friends? I’m a transfemme lesbian who recently came out. All my friends are guys and they’ve been supportive and i love them in a way but hanging with men makes me feel like “one of the boys” (even though they’re super kind and respectful and treat me like a woman) and I just feel so dysphoric when we spend time together, as nice as they are. It’s not any fault of their own, but I think the best life for me involves as few men as possible, like the brave lesbians who made me want to transition (like you, btw. Thanks!). I’m not super unhappy around them, but I just feel like if I was successful in my goals I’d be in some sort of Touhou world.
aw hell im late responding to this one. but funny enough i was in a very similar sitch early in transition. and my biggest advice? do not break up(tm) with those guys.
like, start talking to more girls online, duh. find a community for something u like and just participate, talk to other ppl, hang out. see if anyone is in yr area to meet up sometime etc etc. you know how to make friends. but like, once you have girlies in yr life, and they make up just abt yr whole life, youll look back on your dumbass rotten egg dudes and be like, well, cheers. theyll be happy to hear how yr doing later on, and youll be dumbfounded by the lives of normies once they grow up.
for now just like. literally just say "cant hang out as much!" or schedule games movies whatever night w other ppl. youll grow apart naturally, no need to do anything dramatic. the girls will edge them out naturally over time and you can wave at them fondly from the weird tslur tower you live in.

been havin a hard time with the gender lately. probably bc all the wedding stuff has shoved me back into the closet.
it's hard to define it when the answer to all the basic questions is "sometimes"
e.g. "do you feel like your gender matches your assigned gender?" sometimes "do you feel like the 'opposite' gender?" sometimes "do you feel like both/neither?" sometimes "do you feel dysphoric over not looking like a guy/neither?" sometimes
like what the fuck does this make me. am i transmasc or transneutral or are we getting a funky new word here like transvariable? being genderfluid is confusing to express and it makes me feel weird about trans spaces/communities
the greatest ive ever felt seen from tho is 'im whatever gender is the funniest atm' or 'whatever makes the joke/phrase im making work'

Social Detransition?
>be me
>troon out (social transition)
>it has been YEARS
>the doctors asked if I want to go on T (at 14) and I said I needed time
>reading stuff online, realize I'm not a man and never will be one, the science isn't there, it's morally wrong, this trans ideology has a whole host of issues, and it's harmful for society at large (im like 17 now)
>still lying to everyone around me that I'm "male" (when I guess I'm just a crossdresser) because I can't mentally handle the idea that people (might) see a woman when they look at me, it feels really degrading
>it feels... degrading??
>Start thinking more about WHY i "want to be a boy", where that feeling comes from
>realize I've basically been traumatized in the PERFECT way to make me end up trans
so basically I'm in this weird position where I am:
>self aware that trans ideology is flawed and I'm not a man
BUT, simultaneously, I am unable to stop obsessing over being seen as male, because I AM dysphoric still even if I am no longer delusional. It's tough!!

dysphoria
im of two minds. about many things. but... well my facial hair yeah. part of why this is in a readmore and not. a normal ass post is because i dont feel the greatest about some of these thoughts. which are.... sometimes i see the facial hair patterns of testeronized females and my thought is, well that kind of looks bad im glad mine looks different/doesnt look that way. i feel this way about a lot of Tmustaches. but then sometimes im like well i kind of wish i had more of a mustache it feels a bit incomplete without... one. im like amish without meaning to be. but then i think again and the mustache hairs i do have... some are brown visible but a lot of them are pretty light, and if i had more hair there itd probably also be weird blond hazy and not like. idk the 70s tomselleck mustache the 14 year old dysphoric child that lives inside of me w3anted. but she didnt know what was realistic at all and i do. and like, idk ive reached a point with my dysphoria in many cases where i have a difficulty with this aspect of myself for whatever reason but i prefer it being that way than... the alternative. because i know what the alternate is and most of the time i just... visually prefer the option of nonaction. and ofc the other options are unknowns, i know what i look like now but its also possible to end up in a situation where. yeah i did T again so i have more of a mustache and my beard filled out but now i really struggle with this new thing. visually or not. and then seek to change/heal/fix that. rinse and repeat. and so on. thats the whole thing. anyway i didnt mean to get into that i really meant to just focus on facial hair. well my tangent was vague on purpose but let me just say
(i dont want to get t/opsurgery. for several reasons.... but the reason i was getting at vaguely there was that... the aesthetic results.. i feel leave something to be desired. which isnt a slight on any one whos gotten a surgery like this. like. im fat too, so my result would likely be suboptimal anyway and any weight changes may impact my chest in ways i would feel like would make it not worth it and like. i dont know. im skirting around it but what i mean is ive seen enough images of fat top surgeries and like. i prefer how i look now. it looks better to me. suuuure it cooooooould be nice to wear certain shirts with less stress in the summer but its also nice to not have nerve pain and loss of feeling and NIPPLES FALLING OFF[real story of someone i know] and i already have some permanent nerve issues in my chest from my reduction. so. tangent fully over)
like. idk. i go back and forth on it. sometimes im glad my facial hair is the way it is, and grows in, what is in my opinion, the pattern of facial hair typical of women in my family and perhaps a common female typical pattern just in my case it is much more increased. i wish my mom and aunts werent such shavers so id have better reference. i think if shaving wasnt a thing more woman would have increased/longer peach fuzz in the areas that i have a lot of hair. anyway. but then sometimes i wish it was... a more male typical pattern. like mustache connected to beard with filled in cheeks and sideburns. like sometimes im glad it is a more female pattern and i dont have a straight up beard bc i feel like it helps when i want to be assimilated among women but then i also do wish for the straightup beard sometimes. why? cause itd be cool. the 14 year old says. ok well. thats why youre 14 and im not

Here is a bunch of rambles ive vollected over a few months instead of posting them in seperate posts
Feeling dysphoric about my face not being masculine, putting my hair down because it makes me feel masculine, i hate hair in my face, all my headbands to hold my hair back have bows on it, rip off the bows, wear is like a sweatband
Manly ✨
Even if i was ever gonna come out to my family as bigender, they wouldn't just say it is terrible, they would just tell me that im making no sense because i am still female, a part of me is still that, but they just wouldn't get that a part of me is also male, they would just say it was a tomboy. If they continue to misgender me, they aren't exactly wrong because i am still female so calling me she/her is still not wrong so i cant get that angry about it
Feeling dysphoria? I just made a new album in my gallery and copied any images that made me feel like a guy into there and named it "i am a big strong beautiful manly man"
Felt like a guy today but went to church and was gonna sit in the mens side but then felt extremely uncomfortable so i went to the women's side but i also felt uncomfortable with myself there and aaaagh
Me making braclets with my pride flags but my family dont know that thy are pride flags because they dont know the bigender and genderfluid flags 😎
Complaining to my little brother about our mum not letting me buy men's clothes and freely shopping in the men's section with him because he has not yet been tainted by our parents and older sister's views and feeling amazing even though he still knows nothing about lgbt stuffs
Me thinking of a plan to ask my little brother what his views on the lgtvs are but descreetly so that if he doesnt like it he wont tell mother 0.0
Conversation switches to "lgbt people bad", me goes completely silent 0.0 me: "haha yeah thats weird..." when talked directly to desperately trying to switch topic while not outing myself
My sister wants to try new nail polish but already has some on so asks my little brother to do it on him, parents being like "nooo he's a boyyyy" and my sister being like "yeah guys wear nail polish now tho but he still isnt gonna be able to be a girl" and me being there like "yeah, he can put on nail polish" and internally screaming that guys can be girls if they are aaaa
Hahaha internalised transphobia :D for a while there
Me: am i actually genderfluid or am i actually bigender? Am i faking it? Am i pretending to relate to genderfluid and ftm trans people? Am i only just female and male or am i non binary also a bit??? Am i duel weilding my genders or am i fluctuating between them right now i have no clue??????? Is that why im feeling like thisssss???
Me going out somewhere, analysing how guys walk and act differently to girls and taking mental notes
Walking two steps like how people say guys walk and feeling absolutely on top of the world before going back to normal
Hoping im being subtle in trying to lower my voice so my family dont question it (and horribly failing at being subtle why is lowering your voice a bit so hard??)
Tumblr recomending me a suspicious amount of transgender posts before i had started properly questioning my gender or even thought about it
If i was a AMAB, being bigender would be so much easier becuase it's easier to just wear a skirt or dress and look distinctly feminine and then wear other stuff and look distinctly masculine but as a AFAB when you wear male clothes you still look female but who just bought something from the male section instead of looking like a guy
My mum speaking arabic and using the masculine versions of words for me as a joke but me internally pretending that she is using my correct pronouns 🥲
Me considering getting the school trousers so i can wear that sometimes instead of my skirt but also its my last year and no point spending money on uncomfortable trousers ill never wear again if its only for one year
So in church, women wear something called an isharba which is a headscarf meant to cover your hair to be modest.
Ive noticed that on days where im feeling like a girl, i can wear the isharba theoughout the mass but on days where im feeling like a guy i feel very uncomfortable wearing it and dont usually wear it in the mass. On some days i can wear it on and off throughout as well. It's intresting how my gender also effects something like wearing a head scarf, but i guess it can also be kinda like skirts in that sense? It was also a very subconcious feeling and even when i wasnt aware of what gender i was that day i would sometimes feel uncomfortable
Some days i feel more comfortable with the label bigender, and sometime im more comfortable with the label genderfluid and it's weird
Today im feeling more masculine, but also not fully so im more between he/they. But also there is a small twinge of feminine but only a small amount.
So i dont really feel like he/him, but i dont like they/them for myself, but then also im not he/she because there isnt a lot of she in me but im not he/him because i dont feel fully like a guy.
Im not none of them because i am all of them but to varying degrees to the extent where im not comfortable with any of the pronouns no matter how they are balanced. Idk? Are people just not meant to refer to me when i feel like this????
A very specific feeling i want to experience is wearing a dress while looking like a boy, i really want to have the feeling of being a cis boy wearing a dress so much
I didn't realise how important having facial and body hair was to me until my mum and sister kept saying that i should shave it. I really really love my body and facial hair and i really want even a small beard but my mum and sister made me shave my tiny moustache hairs and unibrow for christmas and tried to get me to shave my leg and arm hair and i feel super dysphoric without it being there anymore
That moment of delusion where i pretend to myself that the soft fabricy present my sister got for me was a binder and fantasise about it but its just a jumper in reality
My sister was talking about starfield and how stupid it was that you could put pronouns "why not just have it male and female lol" and i tried to laugh along but really just could not make it sound energetic and i felt kinda sick
Ive recently had the epithany that as a bigenderfluid person i am still allowed to be a femboy or a tomboy and that being feminine doesnt necessarily make me a girl that day and i am still a guy and-

tw: discussion of ed and dysphoria
i feel like something that isn't talked about so much in transitioning (i am ftm) is the difference in expectations for bodies. I began developing a restrictive ed in 3rd grade (or 8yrs old). It has followed me all throughout my life. this time last year i was going to be admitted into residential care because i was getting worse and worse and losing more weight despite being far lighter than i should have been. but its so weird because a lot of the reasons why i still struggle so much is because of the rhetoric i grew up with surrounding women's bodies. i came out as trans in 7th grade (i was like 13), and have been out since then. me coming out did not get rid of my ed in the slightest (though for some reason i thought it would). instead i found ways to translate the expectations for women surrounding weight onto men. i believed i would only pass if i was small and skinny. though i should have known better. i am not skinny. well, i would be considered skinny by a lot of people, but its not my natural state. i've always been heavier or more broad than other people. but now ive altered my body so much that you would never know. i thought i would be so happy being small. but now i see new expectations for myself as a man. i see myself in the mirror and i feel dysphoric when i see my body because i look the way i was told women were supposed to look: small, lithe, scrawny. i don't know how to change my mindset. i know women aren't supposed to looks a certain way. i know men aren't supposed to look a certain way. but for some reason, i am supposed to look a certain way. i've completely fucked myself over. of course now the way i want to look (stronger and more muscular) would involve me gaining weight. that terrifies me. i don't know who i am or what i look like or what i want to look like. all i know is that any amount of change scares me. if i think im gaining weight i restrict again. when i lose weight i feel bad and feel like i should try and gain weight. i don't know. i wish i was cis. i wish things were different. i wish i knew how to change.

Gender rambling between 4-5am? Not sure who even keeps up here as sporadic as i post, but!
Gender is so weird. I have, for most of my life, never really considered my appearance. It was something that i “fought” for but never really played with? I’d toss on a tshirt, some cargo somethings, sneakers, and call it a day because for me, it was the least sensory hell and something that didnt make me dysphoric that apparently set the tone of being a trans man. I cut my hair into a rooster comb and for the most part that was my set hairstyle. I never really saw it as gendered and i liked it i guess? I liked my hair out of everything but even still sometimes sticking it up felt like a chore or could be a sensory challenge. I have been out of the house for half my life now, and yet i feel like i never got much of that teenage exploration most my peers got. Its weird to be exploring it in your thirties but here i am. I spent my early twenties as a trans man, and only managed to disown it in my late twenties during pride month when i went back to test driving they after realizing being a man gave me dysphoria too.
I have never particularly felt like a man nor a woman, but something in between. Both, sometimes neither. These days i feel like i fluctuate and so i have been cozying down in the ambiguity, thinking i might be some kind of fluid but my queer ass really feels at home with terms like faggot butch, nonbinary, gender noncompliant, transgender, or dyke. I like the idea of any pronouns but sometimes i feel sad people automatically clock me as a he/him 95% of the time because i have facial hair. They is fine for me, she is interesting, and viewing myself through she has been a wild ride in terms of things coming full circle again to my agab, in some respects. I dont hate it when i view myself as masculine like a dyke.
It’s weird because i dont want to use micro labels and yet regardless of acceptability of said labels (people dont like the reclaiming of slurs), i find myself fearfully wading through them, scared of the judgement and scared of folks accusing me of some lack of authenticity. Scared that folks will slap a stamp on my head (such as trans man) and look no further. And i suppose thats inevitable in some respects because i often just say im queer and leave it at that. Sometimes queer is all i need. People will make their assumptions and wont always understand and thats okay. The people who matter will get it.
I shaved my hair off wednesday afternoon and as much of a siren call as it was, i was scared it was going to look bad! I cant lie, though, there was something sweet and delightful about having my owner run her hand over my freshly cut head and tell me i really was her bully now after she helped shear it all off. I took some weird relief in the act and something was nice about seeing myself reflected in the mirror with a new sense of self. It was like the feeling of buying a new canvas to paint on or starting over. It kind of kickstarted me into engaging in how i look again instead of just idly accepting not looking at it in the day to day because it didnt really feel important.
Last years yule made me think about clothing, but i had kind of picked it up and put it down. I feel like this “drastic” hair cut has been a relief for not having to manage hair and how sensory overwhelming it can be, but also for my gender expression. I have thought about makeup since. I have enjoyed wearing dangly earrings with a bald head. I have been thinking about how i could feasibly look cute if i just picked up xyz or did something scary and alluring. And who knows, it might change? I might grow it back out to a rooster comb again. But for now i am enjoying the ride, i am enjoying feeling engaged with myself because i deserve more than just throwing on essentials and living my day without considering myself. It is nice feeling like i have some kind of autonomy over my appearance for a change instead of settling into something “acceptable” or just cruising along without much thought. I hope i can pull my partners along because they deserve that feeling too.
Its times like these where i wonder if this feeling of autonomy is just something people feel by default or if they work more or less to get to this point? I dunno, but i am happy to have gotten here.

now that im over 3 years on t and like a year and a half post top surgery I'm starting to relearn how to present more femininely. bc I've always enjoyed presenting feminine but when I was pre t if I wore a skirt or a dress I'd get dysphoric and people would just assume I was a woman. but now I pass as a guy (albeit a short weird guy) most of the time. so now when I dress feminine people assume I'm just a feminine guy. which has literally been my transition goal for as long as I can remember having a transition goal. I want to look like a boy that looks like a girl. and for my first 2 years of transitioning I kind of lost that will to present fem bc I knew how to present masc so well and it made people see me as a guy which I was fine with. but nowadays I've been feeling like my presentation has been leaning too masc and I'm not being seen how I want to be seen, so I've been wearing skirts and jewelry and painting my nails. and now I have 2 dresses!! so I'm finally actually getting to present fem while looking kind of like a guy. which is super fun :)

hi casey! along with making me horny, may i just say your blog makes me really happy as well. i've struggled with trying to figure out my own identity for so long and it's just nice to see other trans men, especially those who are comfortable still doing feminine things; thats one of the main things i've struggle with is still feeling masculine enough because i want to do feminine things. i dont know what it was but just your presence was somewhat comforting for me, and i just seemed to connect with it. I am sorry if this is weird, but you just seem very cool and adorable <3
(i kinda wanted to say this off anon but i struggle with words they're difficult and i already kinda struggled through writing this, and in case this was awkward i didnt wanna make things worse aaaaaaaa)
thank you, anon. if im being honest i was in the exact same position as you about a year ago, i couldnt bare to see myself in skirts, id immediately freeze in fear. i couldnt even wear the color pink without feeling paralyzed 😕 i still get dysphoria from those things, but they've gotten less severe over the months luckily. now i can wear minor tints of pink and wear skirts, though only during sexual situations. its not much but its better than before.
(rest of what ill say is under the cut so i dont clog peoples dashboard)
my dysphoria is extremely strange but extreme because even things like owning a cat makes me feel dysphoric because its the "feminine" animal. though, im really glad i helped someone else be more comfortable their identity, makes me feel like the things i go through actually mean something and paid off
im also very surprised you took interest in me specifially. since from what i see, there are plenty of other feminine trans men on here, but it means alot that for some reason you chose me in particular to be comfy and connect with, thank you for that 💜
its not weird at all btw! im very open to the idea of my anons and followers being vulnerable with me about stuff like this 😊 its alright if you dont wanna go off anon btw, its not weird at all! but itd be nice if you contacted me so we could talk directly, id like to get to know you (if we arent already secretly chatting)
im glad my blog that was mainly made to turn people on is making people feel other, more deep things 🐇 its a very welcome surprised for me 💜 again, thank you anon for being vulnerable with me!
#casey ★ speaking#casey ★ answering#youre all so cool i wanna give every singe one of you a little kiss on the cheek#mwah mwah kissy kissy
