transfemme and transmasc solidarity! (prints available)

trans guy who finally figured out his name, about to come out in the funniest way to his friends: hey guys can i be frank with you all

fat trans people. you agree. reblog

Found this in the comments of Shaun's latest video on Andrew Tate, in which he talks pretty extensively about how important it is for men to find ways to be confident in their genders without trying to adhere to, or enforce, anyone else's ideas of manhood on anyone.

Highly recommend checking it out.

Anyway. I rarely see folks talk about the positive impact transmascs have on manhood as a whole, and I think it's important to acknowledge and celebrate that.

By the way you can be as much or as little trans as you want to be. Going all-out with bottom/top surgery, hormones, vocal training, etc.? Super cool. Just want hormones and no surgery? Cool. Just want vocal training? Awesome. Just want to wear different clothes? Still trans if that’s what you want. Want to change nothing at all other than using different pronouns than when you were a kid? If it’s trans enough for you, it’s trans enough for me. Only want to be trans sometimes, when you’re in the mood, when Mercury is in retrograde? Sounds legit to me. All levels of transness are valid.

approaching transmascs from a standpoint that we will inherently be violent, shitty, unpleasant, and violate your identities is not the way to go. this grooms many trans men into believing they really are like this, and it makes the rest of us angry. masculinity and manhood are not inherently threats, don't treat transmasculine lesbians or trans men like they are threats on the queer spaces they try to inhabit.

trans men and transmascs are not an inherent threat to queer women or women in general. stop acting like you get a pass to stand with your hairs on end and tell us to just brave transphobia. my ex girlfriend told me to just suck it up that my roommate equates men to penises and said that he never wants to look at vaginas or breasts because he's a gay man while he sat next to me, a gay trans man.

stop telling trans men to suck up our trauma. stop telling transmascs our oppression isn't real! stop telling us we aren't being mistreated and abused! i don't have to just sit down and take being isolated and alienated. i don't have to accept being reduced to my genitals. i don't have to agree with bioessentialism because a cis man is incapable of getting over his own transandrophobia

let transmascs exist, let trans men occupy space, let us talk about our struggles. FUCK!

as someone who grew up seeing the most ridiculous and melodramatic telenovelas from my country, and seeing the reputation telenovelas have in general, i have to say, hilda furacão being the first one to genuinely peak my interest -- what with religious guilt, biblical horniness, and the tormented pretty boy who is totally and rightfully beside himself over one hell of a woman -- feels like good luck on my end.

i mean, it's like the perfect timing to have heard of it in the last few months. because that angel who's translating episodes for free and uploads them every few days has me fully understanding the absolute madness of everyone who was waiting for the next episode of euphoria s2 felt!

like, i just wonder what the reception of the series was when it first aired. it tackles religion, communism, and sex work, just to keep it general. it took place in the 50s-60s, featuring real historical events. was it controversial at the time? was this the norm for many brazilian telenovelas to feature these subject matters? and how is it they executed 1950s fashion, hair and makeup better in the 90s than they do today? they rarely ever make hair look that flouncy and bouncy in period pieces today!

Wow I loved that part of the movie where they were a squad and hung out and nothing bad happened to any of them ever 🥺✨

i was drawing something serious for this beautiful movie and then i immediately was struck with inspiration for something stupid.
