A coworker mentioned that other people were getting Chick-fil-A and asked if I wanted some and it was like "you come to me, on this, the 10th day of pride month, to offer me homophobia chicken?"
Hot take, but trans women should be allowed to win at sports they compete in. It's not their job to do badly so cis people stop claiming they're biologically too good at shit or something
do all these annoying children know that "no kink at pride" is used to argue that trans people shouldn't be allowed at pride because our genders are sexual fetishes?
On the topic of transmasc erasure, we need to discuss some important points.
1. Hypervisibility is not a privilege
2. Our erasure is not the fault of our hypervisible transfem siblings
3. The erasure means they target us while *intentionally* not talking about us
Asking transfem people what they're doing to help with this new attack on bodily autonomy is pretty fucked given how the autonomy of cisn't people has been up for debate for ages and most of you cis people have been totally silent on this
In some trans spaces it sometimes feels like people think being transmasc is cute and wholesome until you start to actually look masculine and then many people seem to just think you're suddenly gross.
Jfc we're still doing "testosterone changes are more permanent, actually" like many people don't get top surgery because breast growth from estrogen is very fucking permanent
Apparently it needs to be said, once again, that one's gender does not prevent one from experience queer attraction to another gender. Men can be queerly attracted to women, women can be queerly attracted to men.
I keep getting these quote tweets about binary trans people lying about being non-binary because it's "easier for cis people to accept", meanwhile I'm forced to claim I'm a binary trans man so I get the transition care I need so maybe the problem is actually just cissexism

I worked at one hospital for nearly four years (I'm a phlebotomist) and the nursing staff was the worst about misgendering me constantly. There were multiple times where the patients would get it right and then look confused that the RN in the room called me "she" 🙃🙃🙃
There's a weird crossover of young cis lesbians and middle aged straight men where they say mascs/tomboys/etc are hot and then post a picture like this
Hot Take™, but I feel like we need to acknowledge that "Mary Sue" is pretty much just a sexist term because when a male character is the same thing they generally get called a power fantasy (correct) instead and no one acts like it's a problem.
Getting really tired of various cis people insisting we have to consider the feelings of cis parents who ""grieve"" their trans kids, but never the feelings of the trans people being ""grieved"" for finally being themselves.
I feel like some people really need to talk to more people of different genders then their own, because I'll see someone be like "why don't they say x about transmascs?" and it'll be the thing that Abigail Shrier wrote an entire best-selling, extremely anti-transmasc book about
It's really funny to me when people pull out the "no ethical consumption under capitalism" just because they want mediocre hate chicken or to justify continuing to buy HP merch.
People won't shut up about detransitioners who thought they were transmasc and here I am wishing estrogen based puberty hadn't done permanent irreversible damage to my body as a teen
"using transfem/masc instead of AGAB (therefore correlated with it) is good actually"
...do people know that trans people who are neither of those things exist?
The more I see people talk about T like the changes are instant and irreversible, the more I think some of these people have never been on a low dose of T.

Just make sure to check wildflower blends carefully. Some of them include invasive species to certain areas that may be considered fine in others
Just so people really understand how correctly made binders are important for harm reduction: cheaply made binders and more desperate methods like using ace bandages or plastic wrap (I've seriously meet a teen who was doing this) can cause cracked ribs and other injuries.
I really wish people would stop talking about things like estrogen puberty doesn't cause permanent effects that require significant medical procedures to change, if they can be changed at all.
I know some cis men and women weirdly romanticize tomboys, but I'm pretty sure no one involved in those weird laments was ever a tomboy. If they were they'd know how badly you get treated when you're a tomboy outside of the very narrow stereotype that is okay until puberty.

I was at my great-grandma's funeral and my dad's cousin did a hand grasp/one armed hug (if that makes sense) like he did with all the other guys instead of a regular hug

The flag is under creative commons and the creator has been clear that people are welcome to use it, this post is intentionally spreading misinformation. The only ones paying to use it are big corporations.
Example for point 3: that's why you see politicians talking about blocking our access to care as a "pro-life issue" because we might be able to conceive a child.
I wish other TME people would figure out that "exempt from transmisogyny" is neither a judgment of us nor an assessment of whether we experience oppression in general. It literally just means we don't experience transmisogyny specifically.
More people need to adopt the principle of "if a person is using a label in good faith, it isn't my business to police them even if I don't understand it"
Also, until countries start to acknowledge how dire it is for trans people in the US and allow them to seek asylum, it's not going to be possible to "just leave"
Nice to see other trans people showing their whole asses and just admitting they see all transmasc people as diet men regardless of their actual genders
This dynamic is soooo much worse with cis people, but I've had a very weird relationship with how I look for ages due to the general feeling I got that people thought I'd poisoned my appearance with testosterone.
Really frustrating to see one of big trans accounts misgender a murdered non-binary teen and just tweet something that amounts to "oopsy didn't mean to do that" in the same thread rather than just deleting the thread and reposting a corrected version
IDK who needs to hear this, but non-binary is an umbrella term that encompasses a lot of different genders. It doesn't only mean agender and it can also be used by itself as a gender.
@redhotdisabled
Conflating situational depression/anxiety/etc with chronic mental illness in order to tell a person to get over themselves because you could. This also applies to pain, fatigue, and many other things.
I'm going to repeat my sarcastic "thanks, cis people" here because rich athletes who want to dope with T aren't really restricted enough for this to stop them. They just pay quacks to give them prescriptions or pay for some that's smuggled into the country
I swear, so many baby gays need to read Stone Butch Blues. The most recent lesbian shitcourse about which transmascs are appropriately lesbian is just 😶
As I said before, forced sterilization is a reproductive justice issue too. It just gets ignored because a lot of you cis people just think it's okay because you secretly think cisn't people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce
Even the amount the pharmacy can give me at one time is restricted. If something happens and I need a new vial early, they aren't *allowed* to give me one. I'm just stuck without T until the next refill is allowed. Luckily that's only happened once, but I had to wait 4 weeks.
I was chatting with one of my coworkers just now and she was just totally unaware that the governor of Texas wants to sic CPS on trans kids and their parents, so that's cool
In my new book, everyone I personally dislike disappears. In the ensuing backlash, I will not examine my prejudices at all and double down when people tell me I'm wrong.
That's not the only permanent change by a long shot, it's just the one that often gets you clocked constantly even after long term T and will also get you invalidated by other trans people if you opt not to have top surgery.
