Yknow, i have yet to recieve appeals to empathy from transfems themselves; it mostly has been shiny trophy political husbands (other transmascs) speaking for them.

When you have to force yourselves to speak for a group who at most cares little for you in an attempt to shut me up, it shows how much emotional labour your doing for the sake of non-transmascs.

I (and my host) have been abused by transfems. I (and my host) have been degendered by transfems in ways i never thought would be possible, and its almost formative impossible to root my worldview out of me.

Transunitism is so laughably flawed that i can’t help but feel bad for any transmasc who thinks that appealing to empathy with non-transmasc trans people will help us. We don’t have the same goals or line of theory regarding oppression, and this lukewarm egalitarianism in the end is going to break.

Okay but can we normalize writing about female characters being just like, a total meathead in the relationship?

I say that for lack of a better word.

Now; don’t get me wrong, I love a good sexy fic where the girl has no idea what tf is going on and the guy is just the man with a plan, or a good fashioned (AGE APPROPRIATE) mentor x student dynamic, (I repeat, in a specific fic that will contain two consenting adults.)

What I’m talking about is more along the lines of tropes we’ve normalized.

Writing is such a broad subject. Specifically, writing your characters.

We would be here for the next 300 years (maybe all the avatar movies will be out by then?) and we still wouldn’t cover everything.

And no. I’m not talking about the generalized ‘big strong man comes along and rescues the helpless damsel’, as much as that tends to bother me, I’m going a bit smaller.

I’m talking making your male character cry like a Disney princess at a wishing well and still making him a loveable, sexy, strong protagonist that doesn’t have any kind of ‘loss of masculinity’ throughout the story.

In talking about a female character who punches the shit out of a tree like a Minecraft character for 30 minutes straight because she’s really pissed off.

I’m talking about a girl grabbing a guy by the waist and kissing him.

You know what else is so funny? We can do that all without having their dynamic of sexual encounters be ‘she’s into dudes who dress up in skirts for her’ or ‘he wants a girl who will boss him around’

And of course; there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with those things. I am not kink shaming anyone. What I’m trying to get at here is that some people may think certain traits that are displayed would stereotypically reflect their sexual preferences.

Like; ‘oh that guy cried over a movie? Yeah. He probably wears a dress and makeup for his wife in bed’

Yk? That’s just getting old at this point.

I love seeing writers, filmmakers, and artists who are running wild with this concept and creating characters and dynamics that reflect all types of personalities and ‘abnormal’ gender identifying traits.

And guess what? Your male protagonist can absolutely cry over a book or movie and still portray dominance.

Your female protagonist can absolutely be the type of girl who beats the shit out of a random object because she’s pissed and afterwards paint her nails because she feels like it!

I’m currently writing a Neteyam x Reader, and I’m experimenting with some of these ideas myself. Writing more ‘emotionally natured’ male characters without straying them away from their original canonical structure.

This is getting long and it’s 3:54 in the morning where I live and I don’t want to wake my partner so I’m gonna wrap it up with this,

Dudes can be 6’00, built like a rock, and cry like a Disney princess.

At 4:30pm CST tomorrow, i’m deleting this blog. Do not archive anything i’ve posted or anythijg related to Viragoism. This account was a horrific, rotting mistake.

To any transmasc reading this, find solidarity amongst other trans people. Not just transmascs; OTHER TRANS PEOPLE.

Forget ATA/ATE. Forget my posts, and forget me.

I regret everything i’ve done on this site.

I’m doing another rewatch of Sense8 and in episode 1 when Nomi is at the charity function before the dance sequence about AIDS, she is talking to two men and a woman. I recognised one of the men but when I looked him up it turns out all three of the people are notable trans people - Jamison Green, Sean Dorsey and Shawna Virago. Sense8 will never cease to delight me in new ways.
