Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, using the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now

This is reminding me big time how we had that uproar after the recent election of "men are the problem here!! Men did this!!" And the election results showed like a 50/50 split between white men and women who voted for Trump. Like I'm sorry some people are so misogynistic that they can't fathom that a woman can commit harm LMAO

Hating trans men, or just men in general because of the few terrible men out there is an incredibly immature and reductive world view. Do you know how often women, and step-parents kill children? You don't go around hating on all women or step-parents for that now do you? So why are men, even more so trans men, any different?

Here's actual stats from a textbook used in modern Universities (took the photos myself just now). Why don't you people focus on these two groups? What's that? Not all women and step-parents? Judge people based on their own actions you say?

Mine go from the front of my chest to under my arms, and get a lot bigger under my arms while being thinner in the front. I think dragon tattoos would actually fuck supremely. I'm still undecided on what I want, but I also want some chest tattoos to go around my scars. Top scars and top tattoos are epic and incredibly cool

thinking about top scars again, but I'm seeing the link here between "you can't make top surgery scars in artwork look exaggerated/"cooler" because that's unrealistic and you're being cringe" really ties into a LOT of transandrophobic/anti-trans masculinity rhetoric that relies on trans men being "cringe" or "lame". Like some people within the community (and even outside of it) excuse their cruelty (in more casual settings such as engaging with media or creating artwork) with the age-old "Well you're cringe and embarrassing, your joy is embarrassing to me so it's okay for me to treat your like you're lesser"

It's not the same as the systemic oppression that trans men face ofc but there's always this lingering cloud around trans masculinity that A: assumes that your existence and joy is childish and embarrassing and B: doesn't permit you to actually HAVE something cool, like stylized top scars in artwork, because then you're trying to be cool which is also cringe.

As a side note; Non-binary people also face this a lot, it was the basis of the argument I had with that other person who insisted that non-binary people don't experience oppression to the same magnitude as binary trans people while he peppered his takes with "Moss only has to worry about people not accepting their pronouns while they dress like a girl" (where this means feminine person who was afab but is not a woman = attention seeker who doesn't deserve respect.) I'm not non-binary though and encourage other ppl who are to speak on their experiences.

Cringe culture needs to die. But it's not as easy leaving people alone who watch whatever show they want to no matter how shitty and childish we think it is. It also means challenging internalized bigotry that we may have deemed okay because everyone else is doing it.

dont have any screencaps or anything like that on hand, but at least in art communities ppl complain about others making exaggerated or "cool" top scars in artwork because something something "its not realistic", even had someone in the transandrophobia tag a looong while ago saying that artwork depicting top scars as larger (I'll use this image as an example, drawn by @/SO0u0o on twitter) are bad because they look botched. (which, as a trans guy who has scars that are stretched (obvs not to this degree) because I'm fat and thats just how the surgery went, op of that post can choke on my nuts I love my scars)

Ppl are just losers about trans men having cool stuff

I'd like to craft these thoughts better at some point too, but trying to consume more variety of media (different shows and video games I usually wouldn't bother with) and life gets so much better when I find content with women in it that are A: fully clothed like every other character is, B: adults that act and look like adults and C: are given full personalities and plot importance that does not revolve around the fact that they are women. I'm vague love posting about monster hunter rise here because I just got to Luchika and Fiorayne and they're both so much fun, and before this I played Fire Emblem engage, where 90% of the women on cast either look like they're teenagers, are half naked, act like children, or all of these at once, which was incredibly tiring.

I don't want to sound like a prude in "sexy is bad" but I still think that objectification is a real thing that happens to women a Lot in anime and other media, and finding the balance between "is this objectification or is she just allowed to be sexy" is tough when it's usually skewed in the "You just hate women" direction whenever you complain about a character being a half-empty glass of water for people to feel horny towards lmao

As a pokemon fan I feel like over the past year monster hunter has just sent my standards for what a good game is through the fucking roof. I don't know how I'm gonna be excited for the pokemon presents that's coming when we get monster hunter wilds on the 28th. Capcom has me by the nuts so hard and fills that niche that Pokémon used to so much better, it almost made me want to buy a stupid idiot ps5 just to play wilds in my room when I had literally no plans on ever wanting a switch 2 until Nintendo gives me splatoon 4

you can't ever have a trans guy on this site do something cringe or annoying or whatever without people in the notes of posts about them saying shit like "classic tme behavior" or "of course they're a transandrodork" if someone's being kind of a dick can you please just start calling them out for that instead of being like "yeah this person sucks AND he's a trans guy so it's even worse" like do you even hear yourself

"trans men don't contribute to trans culture" have you considered that up until Horrifically Recently that women/trans men were lobotomized and thrown into insane asylums to never see the light of day again if they were anything but docile little cishet barbies? and that those things still happen around the world? or are you so brainrotten by 4chan you forget misogyny is still an issue?

It genuinely bothers me how almost nobody wants to talk about or acknowledge how disturbingly normalized it is to mock, devalue, and appearance-shame nonbinary folks online.

I hate being told it’s wrong for me to identify under the trans umbrella because I “don’t belong there��. I hate being misgendered and accused of “faking” and “attention-whoring” because I’m not androgynous. I hate being called a “theyfab” and having that term used to discredit me. I hate being told to censor my self-expression so I “don’t look like a stereotype”. I hate my preferred pronouns never being used because it/its is too “weird”. I hate being laughed at the very second I bring up neopronouns and xenogenders. I hate being subject to jokes about my chosen name. I hate having every single aspect of my identity and expression laughed at and mocked constantly because y’all hold such a fucked-up stereotype of nonbinary people as these 2016-esque SJW keyboard warrior caricatures and I hate watching people online giggling away at “Arson (they/star/bun) in the Discord groupchat” memes because cringe culture never died to them, they just chose a more “acceptable” target to project it onto.
