#poc trans man

[jude-us]

As a brown trans boy it sucked so badly to watch those “gender envy” slides on tik tok and see only white boys with fluffy hair. It was a little thing but it made me feel invisible even in my own community. So these are men that look like me and give me gender envy. If you’re POC disabled/ don’t see your self in common trans discussions feel free to add on.

Will never stop being envious of white trans guys who pass by just cutting their hair and binding.

Vent:

I hate that beauty standards are centered around white people. sure, I'm somewhat white passing, but all my facial features scream Indigenous American. I'm honestly more upset that I'm pale. I understand that I get white privilege, boy do I, but I honestly feel so ugly not having the beautiful dark skin my grandparents have, or the thick black hair.

I feel like I'm not indigenous and Mexican enough. but I'm also not white enough (especially since I'm not white). somewhere in between, not fitting in.

My tribe was colonized by Spaniards, I'll never know what it was like beforehand. I love being native but I'm just so depressed that we were colonized.

I just feel like I'm a fakey. I want to stay true to my roots, but how do I do that when they're so transphobic and religious in a way that looks down upon me?

oh how i love being a faggot

Random things that make me feel euphoric as a trans guy:

- Basket ball shorts. IDK MAN ITS JUST LIKE “yea, this feels right”

- Hats, like. Baseball caps. They make me so happy and I also think I kinda look good too ^^

- My glasses. They shape my face so well and distracts from my feminine features

- Growing out my nails and hair. It just makes me feel so much more masculine! (Even though I have a nail biting problem 🥲)

- Online friends. The fact that they know or don’t know my deadname and still call me my preferred name, is just pure joy.

- Energy drinks. I have no explanation for this one idk 🤷🏽

- Watching “boys shows”. Ik it’s super stereotypical but yea.

Do what you will with this information, I just really wanted to share. Maybe share some things that make u feel euphoric too! (Sorry this isn’t my usual post, I’m just in a mood 💀)

if you are a person of color and are struggling to understand or express your own gender because you do not and/or cannot conform to white beauty & gender standards you're not alone and you do not have to warp yourself to suit someone else's narrative- every culture on this planet has their own relationship with biological sex & gender and you do not have to mold yourself to suit gender roles that literally just don't exist in your cultures, or don't make sense to you

you do not have to try to change your face, hair or body to match standards that don't apply to you. you are allowed to approach gender in your own way, in whatever ways make sense to you. it's your life, your gender, your culture, your expression. you don't have to screw yourself over like that. good luck in finding the real you, you'll find them

The average person will always have worth, regardless of their gender. And today proved that for me, once again. Today I went to my crochet group and we all talked about things that have happened this week. Finally, once we went around the room telling our days, we got to a man sitting beside me. And his heart was hurting.

He had relatives equating his worth as a man to being only “a provider”. He was being constantly belittled by everyone but his partner for having mental issues, disorders and an unstable job history. They didn’t care how they made him feel because he is a man. And I just got something to say.

You are not less of a man for struggling. Whether it be financially or with home stability or mental/physical issues, you will always be the man you say and believe are. You are one that’s growing, unless you decide not to be one day. AND THAT IS OKAY! It okay for a cisgender or trans man to struggle, to feel hurt inside and to feel scared of their future.

You were born not just a man BUT A HUMAN BEING! And you EXISTING DOES NOT JUST EQUATE TO YOUR GENDER! These traditional values are not for you to uphold! You are still a man, regardless of what anyone says. And you are ENOUGH!!

You are not a loser, a bitch, a disappointment or ANYTHING! You are ALIVE!! And that is so much important than those words others spit at you. YOUR WORTH IS SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT THEY SAY!! It IS!!

I’ve went through this with my first girlfriend who was emotionally abusive. We had went to middle school and high school together, but once I became more disabled after we met again: I wasn’t man enough because I was disabled. It hurt. But it also enraged me. I stood my ground as I told her she was rude AND wrong, but soon I began to wonder what a man is.

They are soft and firm and strong and weak. They are loud and quiet when need be. They are emotional and distant. They are all sides of different coins, just like anyone else. And them trying in this world, whether cis, trans or intersex, IS ENOUGH!

If no one has told you this, I will. You’re doing A GREAT JOB! You are VALID IN FEELING BEAT DOWN, HURT OR SAD OR SCARED! You ARE VALID IN WANTING TO SET BOUNDARIES AND HAVE RESPECT BE GIVEN! YOU DESERVE TO HAVE PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU, AND SEE NOT JUST A MAN, BUT A PERSON WITH CHARACTER AND A LIFE AND GOALS AND WANTS AND DREAMS!

Don’t believe or entertain the idea you’re not man enough. There’s no such thing. That whole concept was made to beat you down. Whether cis or trans or intersex, do not believe this narrative. It is meant to confuse you, hurt you, demean you and to make you think very little of yourself.

Here, right now, I need you to know you matter and you’ll meet people who don’t just sum you up as a failure. You’ll meet people who love you for you. And it will be wonderful. You’ll feel light as air! And that’s what you deserve.

I’m so sorry the world has made you question yourself for your gender. I’m so so sorry people weigh you against other men to try to show you that you’re worthless to them. I’m so so sorry people think you’re not enough.

But please know you are enough and you’re a wonderful man that deserves encouragement, support and genuine care. You are.

"i just want trans men to admit they have patriarchal power over trans women."

thats the thing here. thats the thing causing all the infighting, the 'who has it worse'. people are absolutely convinced that trans women actually have it The Worst out of all trannies bc they're somehow able to be Uniquely Hurt in a way that no other tranny can be hurt, even BY other trannies, and that's why people are foaming at the mouth at 'transandrophobia'.

because if they believe transmisogyny means men (cis and trans) oppress trans women, they'll conversely define transandrophobia as 'trans women oppress trans men'. and no matter how much we tell them that isnt what we're fucking saying it doesn't matter, because they're coming to the table with the dumbfuck moonlogic that transgender men are somehow able to access cisgender levels of power within the patriarchy. when in reality we can't. because we're transgender.

no, being thin and white and able-bodied and on hrt and middle class, (because that's the John Transman everyone has in their head) doesn't erase the fact that you're transgender. it doesn't give trans men power over trans women, because those are all things trans women can also be.

'but when you control for all those variables, you're just left with a man and a woman, and men--' if trans women never had access to male privilege, even while closeted or before their egg cracked, then trans men don't get it either, even 'post transition'. we've heard from trans women about how people could sniff out that they weren't actually men before they themselves knew-- you think that doesn't happen to trans men once they've transitioned? that cisgender people never think a trans man is performing maleness wrong?

the point is there is no mythical, preferred tranny that has access to cisgender power because we're all failed women, we're all failed men, one moment to the next, and both at the same time

[jude-us]

trans boys of color I love you all so much. You’re not a freak or an aggressive monster or a mistake. I’m so sorry you have to deal with so much bullshit from people in your communities but you’re perfect and whole and you’re gonna be just fine.

[andresmounts2]

I'm so excited to transition.

Like one day everyone is gonna call me Andre & I'm gonna have a beard & I'm gonna have top surgery.

I finally managed to snap a photo of this billboard. For some reason I never had my phone out whenever I passed previously.

[princessefemmelesbian]

Transandrophobia truthers are so damn racist and white oh my fucking god y'all actually piss me the fuck off every time you tokenize Black and brown men for your stupid as fuck "mra but make it trans-inclusive" ideology created by a creepy guy with a corrective rape fetish(something I'll never let up on for as long as I live, btw). If I ever see another one of y'all say "Black and brown men face discrimination because they're seen as overly masculine and that's why masculinity in men is oppressed in this society" I will literally kill myself. Stop using Black and brown men as brownie points for your bullshit arguments about misandry being real when you don't have the slightest idea how racialized oppression works. White boys are so annoying and dumb istfg.
