I asked an english professor once “is this super gay, or am I just thinking that bc i’m queer”

she said

“Both. It’s encoded. Meant to be perceived by only those meant to see the secret gayness”

A lot of people ask me what my biggest fear is, or what scares me most. And I know they expect an answer like heights, or closed spaces, or people dressed like animals, but how do I tell them that when I was 17 I took a class called Relationships For Life and I learned that most people fall out of love for the same reasons they fell in it. That their lover’s once endearing stubbornness has now become refusal to compromise and their one track mind is now immaturity and their bad habits that you once adored is now money down the drain. Their spontaneity becomes reckless and irresponsible and their feet up on your dash is no longer sexy, just another distraction in your busy life. Nothing saddens and scares me like the thought that I can become ugly to someone who once thought all the stars were in my eyes.

this fucks me up every single time

I never expected this to be my most popular poem out of the hundreds I’ve written. I was extremely bitter and sad when I wrote this and I left out the most beautiful part of that class.

After my teacher introduced us to this theory, she asked us, “is love a feeling? Or is it a choice?” We were all a bunch of teenagers. Naturally we said it was a feeling. She said that if we clung to that belief, we’d never have a lasting relationship of any sort.

She made us interview a dozen adults who were or had been married and we asked them about their marriages and why it lasted or why it failed. At the end, I asked every single person if love was an emotion or a choice.

Everybody said that it was a choice. It was a conscious commitment. It was something you choose to make work every day with a person who has chosen the same thing. They all said that at one point in their marriage, the “feeling of love” had vanished or faded and they weren’t happy. They said feelings are always changing and you cannot build something that will last on such a shaky foundation.

The married ones said that when things were bad, they chose to open the communication, chose to identify what broke and how to fix it, and chose to recreate something worth falling in love with.

The divorced ones said they chose to walk away.

Ever since that class, since that project, I never looked at relationships the same way. I understood why arranged marriages were successful. I discovered the difference in feelings and commitments. I’ve never gone for the person who makes my heart flutter or my head spin. I’ve chosen the people who were committed to choosing me, dedicated to finding something to adore even on the ugliest days.

I no longer fear the day someone who swore I was their universe can no longer see the stars in my eyes as long as they still choose to look until they find them again.

This is so fucking important and I think it’s something I needed right now

“I’ve chosen the people who were committed to choosing me, dedicated to finding something to adore even on the ugliest days.”

Well fuck…….

How to be a stranger

Start in the morning by putting on a typical outfit.
Change something about it. Wear a new scarf, hat, watch/wristband or obscure the eyes. Slightly different is better than completely different
Leave your home. If you’re going somewhere familiar, take a slightly different route and arrive slightly later than usual.
If you came by car, leave it somewhere safe for maybe a few hours. Locking the doors isn’t enough: if someone finds you, they’ll get in.
You will be greeted by someone familiar. Acknowledge them, but do not look at or speak to them. A wave or nod will do, and they’ll be on their way.
When you eat, eat outside. Try something new. Find a table you can keep to yourself, and leave a spot open across from you. Let no one sit there, no matter how desperately they ask.
Always wear headphones. Listening to music is optional, but should you do so play something you have never heard before.
You will be greeted by someone unfamiliar. Acknowledge them similarly in step 5, but you may look at them. If they confused you for someone else, it’s working.
Avoid places where you are well known, if possible. If not, ignore them the best you can. You will feel the temptation of their comfort, their familiarity, and their security as you pass. Do not let the friendly faces claim you.
People will ask you for directions, spare change, or similar assistance. You will not recognize a single one of them. Always stop and help, and always make the conversation as long and amiable as possible. Under no circumstances give your name.
If you performed any of these steps incorrectly, go home immediately. If performed correctly, go home at your own leisure at the end of your day.
When you return, look in your mirror, and try to recognize the person across from you. By this point, the process of experiencing your day as a different person will be complete, and this person will be part of you. Should you have any difficulty seeing yourself as you know, the day was successful.
Go to sleep immediately and return to normalcy, if you can.

Grey’s Ultimate Guide To Passing As Male

Alright guys listen up. There are a lot of things on Tumblr about passing, so I’m gonna share my collection of tips.

Also, I’m pre-t, and I pass so don’t worry

Also, I’m a teenager, so there’s your age range

This’ll be long, so here are the categories

Hair
Binding
Clothing
Swimming
Behaviour

Hair

Hair

Look at popular male styles, see what people have currently and use that as a guide
I find that a somewhat shaved back/sides with a short bang thing helps a lot
You know those little pointy bits by your ears ?
Take some scissors and cut those fuckers. Square them off so they have a blunt edge, not a pointy one
Dark hair passes better
If you have naturally light hair, you’re fine. But if your hair is naturally dark, don’t bleach it. You’ll look like a lesbian
If you wanna colour your hair, dark, stereotypical masculine colours are the way to go
I’ve done pretty well with red, blue, etc, but colours like purple have really fucked me over

Brows/Facial Hair

Don’t fill your eyebrows, guys.
Don’t do it.
Bad.
Use some coconut oil and make ‘em grow thicker if you have to, but keep it natural
Speaking of coconut oil, if you want facial hair then that stuff is cheap as fuck and super effective
Also, if you wanna shave your legs or sum, don’t worry about not passing. No one gives a fuck

Binding

Types

Binders. You know, those things no one likes but we all need ?
You’ve heard this shit, but I recommend GC2B cause safety first and shit
Anyways, there are some good types to have
I would recommend half tank for summer. I usually use a half tank binder that matches my skin tone
For winter, either a nude full tank, OR a black one. if someone sees it, you can easily pass it off as a tank top
White full tanks are nice for both seasons. Again, pass it off as a tank top

Safety

This is here for the sake of my conscience
None of that amazon shit
Honestly ? Underworks is too expensive and not that great
Don’t bind for more than 8 hours
Don’t size down
Don’t wear 2 binders at once
Don’t put a binder on wet
Okay done

Clothing

Shirts

Fitted tee’s. they’re slimming, make you look taller, and that’s how most guys wear them
Also graphic tee’s are really popular, and hide your chest
Button downs are excellent, and look hella masculine
Just not flannels, cause those make you look like a lesbian
If you insist on a flannel, leave it open with a solid, grey tee underneath
These work for short and long sleeves, depending on the weather
Sweatshirts from Nike or Adidas or something are popular as fuck
Or, solid colour ones
Solid colour anything is good, really. Especially in neutral tones
Sportswear is super popular, anything dryfit or something
Muscle tank’s are fucking amazing. Those fuckers with the thicker straps ? you loon tall and thin and manly and fit and they hide your binder so so so well

Jackets

Jean jackets for men square out to body, and are really stylish. Just be careful, because women’s ones highlight your curves
Leather jackets are also really great, same rules apply
Bomber jackets can work, but you have to be careful of colours and styles. Look online at what other guys are wearing
You know those puffy, ribbed coats ? don’t wear those. You look tiny and they highlight curves and shit

Pants

Looser, men’s jeans. I’d say go a tiny size up, and make sure their men’s. Women’s jeans accentuate thighs and hips and shit. I recommend straight cut, but any style works. Blue and black are the obvious options
Track pants are great. Those black things with a white stripe ? Throw on a pair of those and a sweatshirt or something and you have a perfect outfit
Sweatpants. Easy, casual, straighten your legs, and paired with a sweatshirt you have another easy outfit
Cargo shorts straighten the legs, and aren’t really popular with girls
Jean shorts can be okay, but they’re hard to style. They can’t be too tight or too long or too loose or too short. Try things on carefully, and look at what cis guys are wearing
Basketball shorts are common among cis guys. The hard part is making them work with your legs. If they don’t fit well, it’s an easy way to get clocked, so be careful

Shoes

These are kinda obvious, but you know how it is
Obviously tennis shoes. That’s the most universal thing. Based on your style, cis guys go for a lot of overly obnoxious colours, but neutrals are also nice
Vans/converse. Again, pretty universal. the classic black ones, or something red or checkered is always a good choice. you can’t really go wrong with a skater shoe
Ankle boots are worn by a lot of cis guys. Just make sure they don’t have a heel and shit, you know ?
Cis guys wear two kinds of socks tbh. Those short, invisible ankle mother fuckers, or the weird, ribbed sport things that go up your leg

Headwear

Don’t wear beanies. You’re going to look like a lesbian unless you have more masculine features
Unless you have long hair that you can’t cut, in which case you can hide that shit
SNAPBACKS
I can’t stress this enough, snapbacks are amazing I always pass in a snapback, black ones especially
Also bandanas. Look up how to do those bandana headband things, they look excellent

Jewelry

Yeah yeah “iDk WhO wOuLd WeAr JeWlErY iF yOu ArEnT a TrEnDeR”
Fuck off, tons of cis guys wear jewelry
Anyways
Rings are nice. Those thick, manly, intimidating ones. 10/10
If you want piercings, nose and lip rings are great. Also, one earring. I usually wear a stud or a silver crystal in my left ear
Leather bracelets are good. Either the thinner, braided cord or those really thick ones
A black cord with a ring or a shark tooth on it is a great necklace choice
Also chains

Accessories

Wallets are nice. They don’t make you pass (or detract from it), but they feel pretty masculine. Something neutral is amazing, like brown or black, but also anything from a fandom. Some sort of videogame or superhero works well
Backpacks/bags. Dark colours are usual, but some cus guys like the really obnoxious ones (mine is galaxy, and my cis friend has a neon blue and pink one). Also, ones from more 'masculine’ fandoms work, like starwars. If you don’t pass well, I do in t recomend anything too flashy, but do what you will
Headphones tbh. Guys always have them on their neck or looped over their ears, even if they don’t have music on.

Swimming

Binders

Swim binders are honestly really expensive and don’t work well
GC2B is great, but have a separate one for swimming. And if yours is already tight, size up for swim
Use a half tank for swimming, you’ll thank me

Clothes

Obviously swim shorts. But same as with basketball shorts, you have to be really careful about sizing
Buy. A. Swim. Shirt.
Do it.
If someone sees your binder, you obviously won’t pass
Get a swim shirt
Colours don’t matter much. Neutrals blend in, but a swimsuit is a swimsuit
Board shorts are pretty damn masculine, I recommend
Idk what else to say, but people ask about it, so here we are

Behaviour

Shrug your shoulders very slightly. It’ll feel nature if you keep at it, and it makes your shoulders look bigger. Put your elbows on chair arms to do it while sitting
Clench your jaw a little bit. It’ll make you look like you have a more masculine jaw line
Walk with your stance every so slightly wider than usual. Guys take up space, they don’t try to contain themselves
When you sit in the ground, sit with your ass on the floor. Indian style or with your legs out works
Act confident. I shit you not, this can be magic for passing. Relax, act confident, lean back, and be comfortable. People see it as dominance and we subconsciously see dominance and our mind trails to masculinity
Don’t move out of the way for people gracefully. not saying don’t move out of the way at all, but let yourself brush shoulders sometimes. You probably shouldn’t maneuver your way through people
Turn your feet out. Look at girls when they sit and stand, their feet are crossed or turned in. Guys keep their feet flat, and their toes face straight or turn out
Sell weed, that’s a pretty big “bro” thing
Don’t let people talk over you. If someone cuts you off, keep talking
Posture is important. Straight back, firm look, radiate confidence
Unless you’re sitting. Then you wanna slouch a bit and look kinda fucking bored, you know ?
Don’t sit with your legs together. Spread 'em a bit. you don’t have to be obnoxious, but definitely do it
Furrow your eyebrows a bit. It gives you a more stern, masculine look. I promise

Voice

Talk slower. Girls talk faster, you want to slow your speaking as best you can
Make your voice kinda rough. Talk so you sound kinda husky and shit, it’ll make you sound more masculine
That head raising thing really only works for a minute
Instead, lower your voice little by little. Talk with a slightly lower voice until it comes naturally and is subconscious, until it’s your natural voice. Then lower it again, and repeat until you’re satisfied
Try not to verbally doubt yourself. If you sound timid and uncertain, you’ll sound more feminine. That’s just how people see things subconsciously

That’s all I’ve got for now. If you have more, please add on, and if there’s anything else you want to know, comment or send an ask or message me. If there’s enough stuff I’ll make a second edition to this post, but I’ll answer each personal question regardless

It’s great to have “Love, Simon” but lets not stop here

I love that “Love, Simon” is getting the attention it deserves, Aristotle and Dante should be great too but I hope we can see more LGBTQA+ YA fiction come to screen like

Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kirstin Cronn-Mills

While a trans coming out story, BMFUC doesn’t only focus on that aspect of our main character, Gabe’s, life but on his struggles with friends, romance, and his growing fanbase for his radio talk show, while it has its harder moments i feel this would make the perfect summer feel good movie any teen, trans or not, could enjoy

With a book focusing on a trans FTM character, i thught it would be best to pair it with an trans MTF book

Jess, Chunk, and the Road Trip to Infinity by Kristin Elizabeth Clark

This is a dramedy coming of age book about Jess, a transgender girl taking a road trip with her best friend Chunk the summer before she heads off to college, she is going to her fathers wedding to confront him about something that changed her and her mothers life, all while she and Chunk site see, star log, and even fight as they try to confront all kinds of feelings. JCRTI doesn’t only talk about the experience of being transgender but talks about sexuality and understanding those around you and how they feel, but over all is a fun read that would fit nicely into the summer indie feel

And if you’re craving more adventure than more grounded LGBTQA+ stories we have great material like Hero by Perry Moore, Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee, Proxy by Alex London and many more!

We should hope for more in LGBTQA+ film to be diverse in not just representation, but genre, theres so many story’s to be told, who says they shouldn’t be gay?

Sorry if i really only went in depth with two trans YA books, Im a little biased as a trans guy myself, but feel free to add your own picks of what you’d live to see on the rainbow screen! Theres so many books to adapt this could be a mile long post

Tips for fanfiction writers with trans male headcanon characters:

• Binders👏are👏not👏like👏bras👏You👏do👏not👏hook👏them👏on👏zip👏them👏up👏or👏any👏of👏the👏sorts👏You👏slip👏it👏on👏like👏an👏undershirt👏 (edit: I was informed that binders with hooks do actually exist, I just can’t imagine the binder that I’m currently wearing with hooks it sounds like the most uncomfortable thought to me) (another edit: binders with zippers do exist.)

•Unless you’re writing dramatic scene or something, make sure your character follows the recommended time limits for binders which is 6-8 hours or 8-10 hours if I’m going to be honest the internet is saying two different things.

• Chest binders can sometimes be uncomfortable. Don’t write your character like “they were in extreme discomfort” no cause that can lead to some pretty bad things sometimes. But just write that the fucking hem was itchy, and sometimes it does hurt.

• As cute as the thought is of drawing on binders, that shits expensive, and unless they’re drawing on it with washable markers, I don’t think they would want to permanently ruin their binder that was expensive as fuck.

• Top surgery is literally removing a part of your chest. There are very few instances where the person getting top surgery doesn’t end up with pretty bad scars afterwards. And is impossible for those over a C cup. (Edit: okay it seems as if I phrased this wrong. What I meant by the last sentence was that it’s practically impossible to end up without noticeable permanent scaring when you’re over a size C. There are two different types of operations, one for those with a size A sometimes B called Keyhole/peri-aeoliar surgery which leaves scarring but can fade away in about a year or so. But with larger chests there’s a different surgery which can leave better results as it gives more control to the surgeons but can leave more noticaly permenant scarring. I’m sorry if this came out wrong to someone.)

• Top surgery includes wearing a sort of chest binder for about 6 weeks (thanks you human who told me that, I forget your name) at most after the initial surgery and special tubes for extra fluids and shit. And with evry surgery tjey put you inder laughing gas, so don’t write shit like “they just came out of the doctors office as energetic as ever. "Look!” They exclaimed lifting their shirt to reveal a flat chest" which leads me to my next point which is

• Top surgery is not pretty at first. It’s bruised and scared and scabbed for a while.

• Testosterone, though it is most commonly injected, can also be used in like a sticker/patch form. For injections, the first one anyone gets is at a doctor’s office, then they teach you how to inject it at home. You can get your injections at a very small dose even week or I know some people get larger doses every 6 weeks it depends on the person. The sticker/patch things you wear on your arm all day everyday. You can also have it in different areas but the arm is most suggested. The max dose in patches is a fairly low amount compared to the other alternatives which means less intense effects and sometimes a slower process.

• Don’t even get me started on dysphoria. Not👏liking👏skirts👏doesnt👏mean👏they👏are👏dysphoric👏dysphoria👏in👏this👏sense👏means👏when👏a👏person👏feels👏DISTRESSED👏as👏a👏result👏of👏their👏biological👏sex👏WHICH👏LIKE👏90%👏OF👏THE👏TIME👏CAN👏CAUSE👏DEPRESSION👏OR👏ANXIETY👏

• A lot of the time people doesn’t go with a name close to their birth name. I personally did as it was both easier for my mom and the people around me cause it could seem like a nic name, but also because I loved that name for a long ass time. So if your characters name is say George, I wouldn’t put Gina as their birth name.

Watch Out For Online Cults

GIF by mynameisgarlic

A lot of talk about cults and manipulative people in the community is focused on an in-person level. Things that an in-person group will do, how their control extends into your offline life, but cult behaviors and mindsets can absolutely be used online and may not be as visible or as obvious. Here’s a small, incomplete checklist of things to watch out for, red flags and the like. (Note: I’m not talking about any specific group or individuals here. None of these on their own make a cult, but a lot of them together can potentially mark a toxic environment at least. This isn’t intended to be a diagnostic tool, just things to analyze and reflect on. Please always be safe and don’t let yourself stay in toxic environments whether they “count” as a cult or not.)

The “leader” can do no wrong. They are not capable of truly making mistakes, or any misstep they do make is quickly explained away or defended by their followers. Any criticism is quickly punished, labeled as problematic, or otherwise shut down. Online, people will often sing the praises of or “lovebomb” the leader after these incidents.
It’s Us vs. Them. Anybody who criticizes the group is an enemy. Anybody who chooses not to be a member of the group must have something wrong with them. Critics/people on the outside just don’t “get it” like they do. The “outside” may be painted as threatening/the group as a safe haven, and opposing viewpoints should not be given any attention, even to consider them critically. You’re discouraged from joining other similar groups.
Using social justice lingo as a way to control people. Manipulators can speak the language too. They may bring up gaslighting, gatekeeping, policing, invalidation, and other things and accuse an individual or group in order to either guilt the person into acquiescing or vilify them to the other members. This is a really effective tactic for shutting someone down.
The leader is elevated or enlightened in some way. They claim to be a deity, or at least closer to the divine/enlightenment than you. They have a more effective/direct line of communication with spirits or entities.They have wisdom or knowledge you must stay with them to take part in.
Dictating parts of your online life. Members must change their names, icons, speech/typing patterns, etc. to conform to the group. The rules for behavior in an online setting go beyond what is needed to maintain order. Members may be asked to do a lot to “prove” they deserve to be/stay in the group.
You’re scared to leave. You can’t imagine your online life without this group. You feel like you need the community/resources it provides you. You’re worried members will turn against you if you leave. You’re worried that leaving or voicing concern about the group will have negative repercussions on other platforms.

a shoutout

to all my fat and curvy trans boys

whose binders still don’t make them anywhere close to flat

who are self concious because their chub makes them curvier

who can’t bind on a daily/regular basis

who are forced to joke about their chests because they can’t deal with it any other way

who won’t “pass” until top surgery

whose soft cheeks make their faces look more feminine

who consistently only see positive feedback on posts about skinny white trans boys who were able to “pass” a couple of months after starting on T (or before)

society will try to tell you otherwise but your trans-ness is no less valid than theirs. your curvy body is still a boys body, no matter how you wear it.

seasonal boy aesthetics

spring boy: wakes up early just to see the sunrise. scuffed-up tennis shoes, long sleeves in the morning and short sleeves in the afternoon. searching for interesting things in nature, pressing flowers in books, searching for four-leaf clovers in grass that’s just starting to turn green again. always sending you new songs to listen to and making you playlists.

summer boy: restless and ready for adventure. paint on his knuckles. always going barefoot just because he can. wants to climb things and stay up late. midnight drives, lying in grass fields and talking about future plans that you know will never actually happen. dancing in parking lots. loud music. always has a song stuck in his head.

autumn boy: buried in a sweater. will change direction just to walk through a pile of leaves and is mesmerized by fall colors. warm hands. always offers to make you tea. listens to acoustic albums and watches the rain fall for hours. watches lots of artsy films and fills journals tirelessly. always jotting down ideas and quotes he likes.

winter boy: sleepy and quiet. will smell every single candle in a store if you walk by the candle section. smells vaguely of chamomile and peppermint. gets excited whenever it snows and insists on running outside and trying to catch snowflakes on his tongue. refuses to drive if the roads are icy. always dressing in layers and yawning.
