Okay but this is what I mean when I say that nobody is going to be liberated until people stop being so possessive over the bodies of trans men and transmasc+ people.

te/rfs are literally just incels but with added feminism

And they can never prove why the trans man is "ugly" without showing their whole fucking ass.

"he's hairy now" - but I thought cis women not shaving and having body hair and celebrating it was part of feminism?

"but he has a beard!" - so do you not care about cis women with natural facial hair? Just gonna ignore the histories of cultures who historically found facial hair on women beautiful?

"he's fat" - so fat liberation isn't part of your feminism?

"he's balding" - Half the cis women on my dad's side of my family went bald. Are we shaming women for this now?

"he has acne" - so did you as a teen. was it helpful to call you disgusting and ugly? didn't think so. Body shaming isn't feminist.

"top surgery is disgusting" - so cis women breast cancer victims with double mastectomies are disgusting?

"bottom growth/surgery is disgusting!" - your obsession with other people's genitals, especially people who have no desire to fuck you in the first place, is fucking weird. But also - guess intersex women are gross now too!

It's all just body shaming that is both sexist and racist at its core.

and if any effeminate transmascs dare show their faces - if I dare to be cleanshaven and have well-groomed hair and skin and wear cologne and get into male fashion and live my gender fantasy of being a beautiful man - they just cry harder about how I would have been an even more beautiful woman (I was not - I didn't put much effort into female fashion or grooming and was generally pretty plain looking), and then they question my validity for not rigidly conforming to cishet male norms and conclude I must be doing this for attention. it's not about us being ugly, it's about us not being datable butch lesbians for them to be weirdly possessive over.

I want to make this absolutely clear to kids: children didn't used to be stuck inside the house like you are today. There used to be public places you could hang out. It used to be fairly safe to walk around because trucks weren't designed to kill children. You didn't need a car to go anywhere so kids without a license weren't trapped. There weren't 24/7 cable news networks constantly scaring parents with anecdotes even as crime was at all time lows and the biggest danger comes from adults kids know not strangers.

It's easy to ignore old people talking about "the good ol' days" because a lot of the people saying that shit are racist assholes, but the way society treats kids today really is objectively worse than how kids used to be treated. You deserve better, and you should know that better things are possible. We just need to kill the suburbs and for-profit news.

Parents: "WHY DON'T YOU GO OUTSIDE"

Outside:

loudly going "YOU'RE GOOD YOU'RE GOOD" to myself to ward off the memory of every embarrassing thing i've ever done

"i love music i wish i could hold it" well you can it's called a CD and it's got a hole and everything

TONIGHT WE FUCK MUSIC!!!

the "trans women hate trans men because they are more visible/have it better in society due to being men/trans men are inherently ugly shitty garbage rage monster trash and they deserve to be hated" rhetoric never came from trans women, it came from men hating terfs who don't want ""women"" to transition and become icky men. their solution was to try to make trans women look hostile and angry toward trans men and make both sides feel uncomfortable around one another, thus, creating tension and destroying unity in the community.

trans women and trans men in reality bond over trading clothes, talking about how their dysphoria contrasts, offering to give the other their tits/genitals, teaching how clothing sizes work for the other 'sex', offering advice on makeup and skin care, taking each other to appointments to get HRT and gender affirming procedures/surgeries, teaching each other how to shave, dressing up and going out into public as their proper genders together, and so much more.

trans women and trans men historically have extremely beautiful and powerful bonds that help us become more happy, healthy, and capable of being who we are. we historically and currently one another very deeply. the solidarity will never die.

I have seen ZERO animosity between trans women and trans men in our small but thriving local community. There is NOTHING but love. DO NOT let TERFs drive you away from your natural allies. TERFs are far from the majority, they are vocal but miserable exceptions, and it's time to treat their shitcan rhetoric as the garbage it is and stop listening, stop engaging, stop arguing, and begin blocking them everywhere. They have nothing to say? We don't have to listen.

Trans solidarity. The queer community overwhelmingly loves you.

reblogging SPECIFICALLY for the End Note which is widely applicable

For any trans (or really any queer) kids who are struggling through this right now, I want you to know

This is not your fault,

you are not wrong,

it wouldn’t be fixed if you were just somehow a different person

Because this guy is right, love is unconditional and this type of parent only loves you on the condition that you are exactly what they want you to be

[/ID Video starts with a short transphobic sketch of a hypothetical scenario between a child and parent while they're eating lunch, played a single guy. Child: "I think I am a girl!" Parent: "Well, you're not. Shut up and eat your doughnut."

Video switches to another person that monologues for the rest of the duration. "So I am a mystical being that can tell the future. I'm gonna give you uhhh (smacks lips) a play by play on what's gonna go down for the next 20 years.

So I'm sitting on the floor. You might as well get comfortable while I tell you what's gonna go down. So that's gonna keep happening, it's gonna keep happening. At about 9 maybe 10 he's gonna ask for a pink coloured Nerf gun instead of a blue one and you're gonna get really passive aggressive about it, and he's not gonna know /why/, but he's old enough to remember shit now, and that's gonna be a problem later on.

Wow! Later on happens. 13, 14, 15—this age range is very very important for a parent not being a cunt like you, but... here we are, because whatever you say that kid's gonna go against it and starts questioning shit. And one day you're gonna catch him wearing like crop top and you're gonna kick his ass, you're gonna f-—because these are the types of people that like physically abuse their kids when they do something wrong you know. Now you don't know it yet, but you lost him forever, ffforrrever, he's gone, he's gonna never bring friends over to your house. No, he's going to tell all his friends, "yo my parents assholes, can I come over to your house?" And that's where he's gonna be trying on fucking feminine clothing, putting on makeup, because he knows that he's not gonna get abused by anyone by doing that, you know, it's gonna be great, he's gonna have a great time.

And then college happens. He's gonna get a real taste of adulthood and freedom away from you, and I wouldn't be surprised if she fully transitioned by 20, like just completely. And in that time you're gonna talk less and less and less and less. You're not gonna know who she's in a relationship with, if she's getting married, her first house, what state she lives in; she's never /ever/ gonna show you her kids, /never/! You're never gonna meet your grandkids. And you're not gonna know why. You're gonna be so far up your own ass that you're just not gonna accept that you have been the problem for decades. And that's it; you're gonna be on your deathbed in 40 fucking years and just go, "Man, where did I go wrong?", but I'm telling you the answer and you're not gonna believe it, but here we are.

And just as an ending note: you don't love your kids. Love is unconditional. What you do is /very/ conditional: be exactly how I want you to be or I'm not gonna love you. You don't fucking love your kids. Don't you dare pretend, don't you tell them that you love them without meaning it. That's fucked up."

The way he says "you don't love your kids" that first time is...utter disdain. Amazing.

reblog if you:

- are aromantic and want to kill

- think aromantic people should be allowed to kill

- think fish are pretty cool

it’s really not that hard to make a popular blog on tumblr. what you’re gonna wanna do is put the words “evil” and “wizard” in the url somewhere

Target audience

my beautifal children

this post tempts me

alas, how the wizardry has taken me

To expand on the crumbling of the patriarchal edifice of the family.

If society agrees that children can know themselves, and have a right to self determination…. Everything else that Conservatives argue they have a right to exert over children crumbles. As just two examples….

ALL corporal punishment rightfully becomes recognised for the assault it is.

Failure to appropriately consider the wishes of children in medical care and provide information in an age appropriate way is recognised as child abuse and malpractice.

Children are entire people, they deserve all of the rights, privileges and protections afforded to adults.

Me: yep

Me: sees trans man not binding and one in a dress

Me : nope!

You didn’t have to draw a trans man with boobs sis, thanks for the dysphoria babeey

if u get dysphoric when u see a boob that’s understandable but its also your problem to deal with n u don’t get to shame other trans dudes for drawing people like them with visible breasts. as much as it sucks, most trans men do have non flat chests and it’s not a bad thing to draw trans men with breasts (unless ur sexualising them, or ur drawing a real life trans man who’s dysphoric about his chest).

also u can’t have a go at op for drawing a trans man without a binder bc it makes u dysphoric n then call him sis. dont be a fuckin hypocrite dude.

anyways good post op

some trans men can’t bind for medical reasons. some don’t prefer to bind bc it’s uncomfortable, and hot, and sweaty!!! some trans men arent that bothered by chest dysphoria!

trans people are not required to attempt conformity to be valid in their identity. no one is required to try and “look cis”. that’s your own shit to deal with.

Thank you for drawing trans men who aren’t binding and who wear feminine clothes, OP, seeing trans people like myself really helps with my dysphoria

I can’t bind because of my severe asthma and pain in my ribs from fibromyalgia. So seeing trans men who aren’t binding really helps my crippling dysphoria. Thanks op (also disabled trans men aaaaaah! 💖)

Also some trans men cant afford a binder, or are closeted, or itt isnt safe where they live to bind, binding isnt a necessity v

Also trans men, just like cis men, are allowed to wear dresses.

Outside the McDonald’s Drive-Thru Window, 2018

This week:

A 19 year old passenger with her baby, who only spoke spanish, missed her connecting flight due to weather and would have been stuck sleeping in the airport but my co flight attendant (who spoke spanish) booked her commuter hotel for her and gave her a free room for the night

Another passenger missed her connecting flight home but since she lived just under an hour from me I gave her a ride from dc to virginia beach

My pilot was contacted by the wife of a pilot he'd flown with (who later killed himself) because she'd found a photo of their crew at dinner, so now he takes group photos of every crew he hangs out with, just in case

Another passenger missed her connecting flight and was crying because her mom was in hospice so 2 other passengers who did not know her offered to rent a car and carpool down to jacksonville together

An actor who I will not name but who I'm a huge fan of was in line at the airport pizza place in front of me and my co flight attendant (also a fan) and we were trying so hard to be cool about it and he could tell and he paid for our food because "You all take such good care of us in the air, we should take care of you on the ground."

The van driver for our new orleans overnight heard me say I was vegetarian but wished I could try authentic gumbo and called his friend who is a chef and then drove us to the restaurant where I was given a creole style vegetarian gumbo he'd improvised

After a terrible night which saw me and my co flight attendant trying for 4 hours to get hotel rooms from our airline, the night clerk at a hotel finally took over the phone call and reprimanded them on our behalf, dictating the exact paperwork she needed sent over and then expedited the process so she could give us rooms

When I was little I showed a flight attendant a picture of a ladybug life cycle I drew myself, and he sat down in the empty seat on the other side of the aisle and drew a flipping plane and holy cow that was the first experience I had of someone drawing and drawing amazingly well. I wonder how he's doing...

I still have the drawings! And the notebook!

The notebook in question:

The terribly childish drawings in question:

LOOK AT THIS

I DIDN'T EVEN REALISE HE'D WRITTEN MY NAME

Flipping heck 🤣🤣🤣

Oh yeah, this was a Virgin Australia domestic Brisbane to Sydney flight which I'd done with my family multiple times at this point.

Btw I was 8.

Gerome Gardiner, I have cherished this drawing all throughout my childhood, and if you ever see this, thank you for taking the time on a pretty empty flight to draw me something with such beauty that I have carried it throughout my life.

But I feel I should apologise because I have not kept up my drawing skills and neither have I had much time or energy to do so 😅

I paint pictures with words now ✒️📖💻

One day I'll show you one of my stories! 😁

He's still out there drawing planes.

Fun fact! Having a job every day is actually a fairly new thing.

In olden times, people had daily chores and other things to do but their workload/ daily working hours was actually much lower than it is today. Even in farming communities.

The concept of working super hard every day actually comes from capitalism, which in turn comes from Puritanical ideology.

The Puritans believed in salvation through work and in no play.

Early capitalists adopted this ideology because it meant higher productivity and therefore more money if their factories were running near constantly.

The idea of needing to be continuously productive in order to be useful/ allowed things like food and shelter, is actually quite an insidious ideal that is deeply rooted in the American culture.

4 day work weeks have actually proven to be more productive than the 5 day week. But corporations won't adopt it willingly because it means less of a stranglehold on their workers.

they call it budew cause you look at the bud and go ew!

You will go to hell when you die.

I've been sitting on this announcement for awhile, but I'm finally going to cave and just get it out there:

I'm finally getting top surgery at the end of July!

I'm so, so excited. I've been waiting for this for years and cannot wait to get these things removed. I've always felt disgusted by them, even before I knew I was trans. Finally gettting top surgery is going to be liberating for me. My insurance will be covering at least some of the cost and I'll be living with my parents for at least 2 weeks while recovering.

Now gets to the... not fun part of this post, and the reason I've been putting it off so much.

My insurance will probably be covering at least some of it, and I'll be on medical leave for work, but it only pays 60% of your usual income. I'm... not gonna lie, I've not been posting things here in large part because I've been struggling financially all year. Hours at work are consistently being cut, everything else is getting more and more expensive, and I've been struggling to make ends meet for well over a year. The only reason I've stuck with this job as long as I have is because the insurance includes top surgery. At the end of this year at the very latest I'm going to try and find something better.

So comes the hardest part of this post; I've revamped my kofi a little and added a goal to try and help with some of the costs of surgery as well as my estimated 4 week recovery time on very little wages. I'm still selling my oddity vials and have put them up on my kofi shop, as well as created a fund/goal specifically for my top surgery. Over this past year I've had to use a large chunk of my savings just for grocerries and rent that had initially been specifically FOR my top surgery.

If you could reblog or donate or want a cute little oddity vial for your shelf, any little bit helps and will be going towards my surgery, rent and food. Thanks for reading. ❤

Better.

More badass.

More colors and metals.

And now available in a LOT more designs.

You might just need yourself a handwrap or three. Go get yours:

Seriously, just need like two sales right now, but I need them SO badly.

i will again attest to the quality of these goods. i've been buying from dee for...hell, nearly a decade. GORGEOUS work, great quality, GO GET YOU SOME LEATHER.

What she's not said but ought to: despite what you might assume from the strength of the leather used, these are as comfortable as your favorite perfectly-broken-in jeans and somehow even softer.

Also that. I use an oiltan hide for these like all the rest of my stuff. Soft amd luxurious on the skin, and strong enough to run over with a car.
