TME/TMA are incredibly useful terms for many reasons, but one is that there is a, somehow, very common type of TME nonbinary person who has decided that since they're not a man they don't benefit from nor enact transmisogyny. i think it's another manifestation of what Julia Serano called "subversivism", or believing that certain nonconventional gendered expressions are superior to "binary" ones, and it's one i've encountered a few times irl in queer spaces. if you simply talk about the privilege transmasculine people hold over transfeminine people sometimes a TME genderfuck butchtwink can decide their punk aesthetic somehow makes them separate from the conversation, whereas "TME" is more explicitly naming the source of the privilege and forcing them to confront it

So I've come to another view and perspective on my gender identity and sexuality in the past few years. Having been in my first t4t relationship (even though it was an abusive/manipulative situation) opened my eyes to a lot of different intricacies within myself. I'm wanting to put out my experience/thoughts in the hope that I'm not alone out here and that there may be other people who feel the same as I do.

One of those things is my gender in relation to my sexuality. I now solidly feel nonbinary. I may get close to the edge of "man" but I do not fully feel as though I'm that. However, as a transmasc person, I also am anything but a "woman". For my safety in day-to-day and so that I don't have the headache of explaining the intricacies of my gender to cis strangers, I present as a binary man. In reality, there's so much more complexity to it.

Pre-coming out and transition, I was very much an androgynous "butch" that never felt comfortable being stuck in the "woman" box. Post-coming out and transition I have continually been grappling with my gender and sexuality and how those are important to my personhood. And the conclusion I've come to after mulling it over for a couple of months? Well to be perfectly honest I'm not sure but here's the best summation I could come up with:

I am not a woman. I am not a man. I'm some mix of the two and neither extreme. Not too sure what that would be called in terms of labels, but nonbinary feels too unspecific. As well as that, I've found I'm firmly bisexual (a solid attraction to cis people is few and far between for me, the most consistent being my long-term partner of 6 years who has been with me throughout my entire transition, pre and post). However, no matter the relationship I find myself in or whomever I fancy, the relationship /is/ queer. There is no situation I could think of where any sort of connection like that would be heterosexual to me. It simply isn't something I could consider as fact.

In that same vein, it's been a long time coming but I finally feel as though I could see myself inhabiting lesbian spaces I occupied prior to my transition. I feel at home in a body being called a he/they butch. Lesbianism was a huge formative part of my life before gender became something I was dealing with too. Also, on the other hand, I feel perfectly at home as a he/they twink. Which is where my gender and sexuality merge I believe.

Queerness has always been a part of my identity and how I define myself. There isn't a world where I'd give it up or where it wouldn't be extremely important to my sense of self.

Long story short, I feel as though the best term to identify myself at this moment is a transmasc butchtwink and that's where I think I'll leave it.

If anyone else has similar experiences/feelings please please feel free to let me know so I don't feel like I'm crazy lol. Always down to connect with like-minded gender anomalies 🫶
