Grappling with the fact that I will likely never be truely seen by others, they will look at me but never see me, the real me. I wish I could say I didn't care, why should other people's especially strangers inner depictions of me bother me? For the most part I won't even know how someone really thinks of me anyway. But it hurts, there is an entire world inside of me that nobody will ever know of. And the creature they see before them is only the vessel of something so much more..

It’s so weird being a trans man and not caring what others may think about my appearance while also only being out to some people, because it means that no matter who Im with, no one around me seems to get me. Cis people almost always find me too masculine and queer people almost always find me too feminine.

OC Art! I had a slightly different idea for the storytelling in this piece but then I played with the color modes and got the wings to look like that and didn’t have the heart to take em away

Here’s the version more similar to what I had in my head

might be kinning Tohya but in a trans allegory way like

"Someone died in me who isn't me and sometimes i feel like it's a 'her or me' situation where i'm scared for my own right to exist, but other times i feel like she's the ghost of a poor girl who deserves to be comforted and put to rest"

I don't like the uwuification of being trans as a whole. This is coming from a trans person.

idk. imagine if someone said 'ive gotten too much push back so I'm not going to be sticking up for [marginalized group] any more' and it wasn't ab trans men. imagine if you said 'i know [marginalized group] is oppressed but it's just I'm tired of saying the same things as [marginalized group.]' imagine 'the oppression of [marginalized group] is too vitriolic to focus on'

idk. out of context feels pretty fucked up to say idk.

I've been wanting to draw on this template but for some reasons, I struggle soo hard on drawing them in the squares. But I was able to get some doodles that look good and also did a lil extra and drew tiny versions of them.

getting serious on here bc i dont know where else

my experience as a trans boy: i forget the last time i felt secure in my body because of my way of self-expression

the way i express myself is through my clothing. simple stuff! but no, i dress in decora kei fashion, a style usually worn by girls. it doesn't help a single bit— in fact— it makes it worse— that i wear skirts because they look nice. no teacher has ever, ever, ever naturally called me a boy. i've always been referred to with "she" until i correct them if AT ALL!!! sometimes i correct someone and they will still call me a girl because i FUCKING LOOK LIKE ONE!!! I ALWAYS HAVE!!! ive been told by a few people "oh i thought you were a cisgender guy when i first saw you!" and im going to tell you that is a fucking lie. anyone who has ever said that, im convinced was lying through their teeth, through their screen, to make me feel like im not a complete failure of a boy. my face is feminine, my voice sounds like a girl's, my chest is apparent even with binders, and, of course, i dress girly. i tried to dress like what people think of when they think of a boy once: a plain old outfit. and guess what??? i didnt feel comfortable! people at school, some i didnt even know, asked me what was wrong because i didnt look like a walking lisa frank artwork. one of my friends even got mad, got appalled, and told me to "put the color back on." and i really wanted to! and I DID bc i wanted to!!! i can't fucking win. i try to give myself the slightest chance of being seen as a boy by the majority, and im not happy with how im dressing. i express myself through my clothes and love what i wear, but im constantly reminded that i will never be a real boy and anyone who's told me otherwise is lying to my face to make me feel better. trying to "be myself" isn't working. everything ive tried hasnt worked. i do not feel good in my body. being trans isnt cute, it's not something to WANT. i know others are proud of being trans, and that's amazing! i admire people who feel good about themselves, genuinely. im not saying that in a sarcastic way, i dont like being sarcastic. but for me, being transgender is fucking hell and that's why i never tell anyone unless they ask. i just want to be seen like a normal boy
