Hey other trans men (+ other trans people), FTM international and FTM newsletter publications are available online .
This is stuff I urge people to read because people know nothing of trans man/FtM history, struggles, and activism.Many things discussed in these are still things argued about today - because people refused to listen to trans men then and they are refusing to now.
Anon asked: is there any archives for the work of trans women, like how there is of the FtM newsletter?
Yes! The same archive that hosts FtM Newsletter also hosts many works of trans women! The Digital transgender archive has newspapers, letters, photography, and books by trans women.
By putting ‘MtF’ into the search bar it will show you everything tagged MtF in the archive
Hermaphrodites with Attitude is also archived here, it was an occasionally published newsletter by the Intersex Society of North America 💛💜💛

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there’s really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.
I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.
