Woof

sorry but youll never catch me feeling bad abt my masculinity as a black trans man becuz some popular tumblrite said it was cringe

truly i could not care less about dan and phill but i do wish we could all just be normal about male pregnancy for twenty consecutive minutes

like sorry, but i feel like there’s probably a way to make a joke about exploitative family channels without telling your audience to bet on which hole the baby’s gonna come out of

We've gathered here today in celebration of men with pretty brown eyes

treat black queers kindly and love us. that's all.

and don't add any stupid shit derailing this, this is about black queers only. make your own damn post.

please if you're going to reblog this, please reblog this addition so people get the memo along with:

listen to our voices and make us feel safe and comforted.

Feminism that treats men as natural enemies rather than as products of an oppressive socialization does not seek to end patriarchy – it merely seeks emotional comfort in victimization. It is easier to point fingers and say “men are just like that” than to admit that change requires collective effort, reeducation, and yes, their participation in overcoming this system. This kind of essentialist discourse not only reinforces useless divisions but also throws away any real possibility of transformation. Perhaps this feminism doesn’t even want a world without patriarchy, because that would mean letting go of the simplistic narrative of “bad men vs. good women” and facing the fact that liberation requires much more than just likes on angry tweets.

I know I've said this before but I really don't think constantly talking about trans women & fems who are assholes to other trans people is productive. it's fine to call out behavior that sucks but I don't think only focusing on that is going to do much besides further radicalize the people you're talking about

it also waters down our terms to internet discourse and makes it harder to talk about bigger, life-threatening issues. if someone is curious about what issues we face and when they try to look into it all they see is people complaining about trans women & fems it's kind of understandable to see all of us as reactionaries tbh

I get it's easier to talk about intra-community issues. a leaky pipe in your house is always going to suck. but it's kind of like only complaining about the leaky pipe and your plumber during a flood. it's fine to talk about the leaky pipe but we should focus on the bigger problem here

"trans guy music is nothing but little softboys with ukuleles" I truly believe you people haven't listened to a single thing by Billy Tipton or The Cliks or Saahrg or Rocco Katastrophe or K's Choice or Schmekel or Ryan Cassata's heavier stuff or Resuscitate or Alright Gents or Nerva Puck or 2am Ricky or really listened to any transmasc person in general. Nice job infantilizing me though I hear the optics on that are great here. I also bet that Cavetown would call you a bitch

Like and reblog if you're a predatory women pumping himself up with male hormones to have gay transsexual sex with men (and maybe even women and lesbians.)

Like and reblog if you're a woman going by narcissistic pronouns (he/him) and posing as a man due to delusions of grandeur.

Like and reblog if you have made friends with body builders with extreme muscle mass for personal gains and plan on destroying the sanctity of womanhood one Bisep curl at a time.

I don’t have the full brain power necessary to really write the post carefully and thoughtfully like I want to

But I keep having the idea of a post brewing

Because I keep seeing the whole “AFAB privilege” thing, which gets explained as “having the privilege of being assumed to be something worth protecting as delicate, weaker, smaller, daintier, more fragile, not as aggressive, the victim, etc.”

And that doesn’t match my “AFAB experience” AT ALL as an early growth spurt and early pubescent fat person growing up

I was (and as a result, around anyone who knew me as a child, still often am—a very small example of this is how people who meet me now think of me as short but even people a head+ taller than me now who grew up with me say I have “tall energy” still that new people who meet me don’t see at all) constantly seen as the more intimidating, more aggressive, bigger, physically stronger, etc. compared to my peers

Even when I was the one being bullied, I was assumed to be the one causing the problems. I’ve never been sorted into a “victim” category based off of my AGAB or how I look

But I was AFAB so I actually mustn’t have the experiences I’m saying I have because the trans community apparently has decided that gendered socialization is a thing when we change who we target with those accusations.

if i can tack my experience growing up as a Black girl on as well cause like…

i was (and still am) extremely small and short, but still everything i did was somehow more aggressive than my white peers. everything i did was more “grown” and more “sexual” at like. age eight.

“afab privilege” rhetoric, besides being intersexist and fatphobic etc etc etc is also, unsurprisingly, racist as hell

long ago the four nations lived in harmony

People argue trans men have male privilege and making jokes about them is Fine and Okay because the rest of society is set up to cater to men. And we can get into how society catering to cis men is not the same thing as it doing that for trans men, which should be obvious if you think about it for five seconds and aren'tin denial of the fact that mainstream society will treat you as your AGAB before anything else, but like.

Why do you even want to be aggressive towards men in the first place? Genuinely why is that part of your politics? How is that a good, okay impulse to have? Stop being hostile towards people based on parts of their identity they can't control, oh my God, even if it caused no structural harm that's still not a way to live your life.

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙
