To any trans person reading this, there's nothing transphobes are afraid of more, than you surviving.

As long as your heart beats, there's a chance you'll outlive them, so please let it keep beating.

sometimes the gender affirming experience is just someone noticing that you are transgender and asking. at a drum and bass party with strangers, the target audience for this event is men and I am recognised not as a girl despite arriving with a group of women, but instead as something else. this is nothing less than being acknowledged as being myself. maybe this isnt passing, thry have to ask after all, but it is an explicit acknowledgement that i am becoming removed from womanhood. even if some don't get it or say I could do something different, all these potentially high men are including me in their thing

Question for any transmasc people/trans men:

What do you do to help you “pass” pre-T? Cause I’m getting sick and tired of people misgendering me

There's something deep within me that begs to be released, like a broken record repeating the words

I am

I am

I am

For all I am, i am. I swallow that phrase whole. I repeat it to myself when I’m locked in the bathroom, praying to whatever god they believe in to get me out of here. I repeat it to myself while they tell me that all I am is wrong. They tell me that all i am is something that is wrong. They don’t see the boy inside, the boy who just wants to love and be loved and exist. All they’re able to see is a sad, sad little girl who is ignoring everything and talking to the wrong people. They think that those people are going to make me wrong. They don’t know that I have already become the wrong that they believe, i am the wrong.

The only think left to do is repeat my prayer to myself while everyone tells me that i am wrong. I am not wrong. I am. I am. I am. I am.

If you have bodily autonomy, then there is always a chance that you will do something to your body that you will regret. This is not an argument for taking that autonomy away.
