Trans experiences: wearing a hijab as a trans man.
TT post by @ starboy.cherie (he/him).
This entire comment section ended up being a lot better than expected.
I blogged so hard and scrolled so far but in the end it doesn't even matter
Sometimes you will be a lesbian to your parents and a straight man to your partners parents and a gay man to your partner and a woman to your grandparents and out to your friends and stealth to your classmates and a nice young lady to the cashier at the coffee shop and then people on your computer will ask you to choose which of these identities you ACTUALLY are and which you are Appropriating The Oppression Of because don’t you know they contradict each other. You can only be one thing solidly forever
"Love me in a gay way" [4:04]
Oh man, oh man. I've been going through some ancient hard drives (New Years resolution) and found some of the oldest digital photos of myself. Enjoy what 20-25 years of age - with 15 of that being on HRT - does to a guy.
Age 23 vs 48, lmao. Back when I box dyed my hair a dark auburn. To be fair, I think all of us who lived it as young adults glowed up from the year 2000.
26 vs 48. Same coat, only it finally fits properly in the shoulders! I think I had just seen Matrix Reloaded and that was me playing around as my OC. 😅
26 vs 48. I'm still kind of scrawny at 20+ lbs heavier, but clothes fit so much better now.
Me at 28? Just starting to be able to afford the tweedy look. Man, I miss those shoes. I still have that coat, though no recent photos of it, so we'll close this out with one of my favorite pics of me from last year, age 48.
Nothing I’ve read has changed me more than “you do people a favor by accepting their help” like I repeat this constantly to so many people because it’s true!!! People like to feel useful, they like to feel kind, they like to feel like they have an ability to impact people’s lives so just let them!! Not everything is a thing to be owed back — accept people’s kindness without making a competition out of it
I figured out too late in life that refusing random help will more often make the person feel unwanted or not trusted : (
This is true on the interpersonal level and on the community level. Your friendsgroup/family/house/affinity-group/street will thrive so much better when people accept each others help. When there is a regular back and forth of people helping each other and people accepting that help, you get a generous community where needing help is not stigmatized. Accepting help is an essential component of that. You literally can’t have a functioning community without it.
I’ve started telling myself “part of helping others is allowing yourself to be helped”.
I am... I am legitimately lightheaded from laughing.
went to the original video and the description was "don't worry I rejected them three times" jshdlfghs
"Dunk"
men took my little pony away from us girls so us teen girls are takin pro wrestling fuck yall just try n stop us
have fun fetishizing the shit out of *real life* celebrities. it actually makes the people who sexualize the shit out of children’s cartoons seem normal.
did you just imply being attracted to actual real human males isn’t normal but wanting to fuck cartoon horses is
I need to reblog this again because it still makes me laugh
if trans women are "the women of women," it seems like transfem butches are "the trans women of trans women"
but please do continue posting about how a women choosing to be masculine is something worthy of mockery and how butch/femme relationships are simply replicating heterosexuality. are you perhaps in the market for a post about how straight relationships are actually gayer than lesbian ones because they aren't "handmaiden and feudal lord coded"
and what kills me about all this is that I'm personally not even into butchfemme As A Dynamic. but that's personal taste. I don't make weird-ass posts about it every two months because the thought of women, especially trans women, deciding on their own terms to be masc is Icky and Regressive to me.
