Every Single One Of The 13,000+ Children Murdered By Israel Was Robbed Of Their Futures

Is it weird i started to feel more comfortable being feminine after realizing i was a trans guy?

NOPE!!! NOT WEIRD AT ALL THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME

when i sat out to transition, i had a few things in mind. i knew that i needed my voice and body to be different. i knew that i was not a cis woman. however, i was still drawn to femininity. at the time i was awakening as a gay man and i realized that i had a feminine side, but it had nothing to do with womanhood. absolutely nothing. to me, my femininity is part of my manhood, and my genderqueerness, not my womanhood.

i transitioned partially so i could feel comfortable being and dressing feminine! i actually told people that during the beginning stages of my transition, that i was excited to masculinize myself so i could be femme without dysphoria. being seen as a feminine cis woman was utterly painful, but living as a femme gay man... that was liberating. i finally felt so many pieces of myself click into place.

you are NOT alone in this, i hear this experience a lot from other trans men, and ive actually heard the opposite from tons of trans women- that after transitioning into womanhood, they felt a lot more comfortable in their masculinity. feminine doesn't mean woman. masculine doesn't mean man. it's okay if you find that femininity is now much more comfortable and enjoyable after realizing you were a guy. being a feminine man is a beautiful experience

i hope that helps! feel free to ask any more questions you may have! you're definitely not alone and it's not weird at all!

truly i dont want to hear anymore about how terfs are so nice to transmascs from people whose only interaction with terfs is reading their propaganda online. like some of you are earnestly like "wow, do you really think an anti-trans hate group would do that? just go on the internet and tell lies?"

i had a terf physically assault me in the bathroom of a bar because she recognised me from some stupid facebook post where i disclosed my gender identity (wasn't even a man then! just a """theyfab"""!) and after she was done smashing my fucking head against the wall and groping my crotch she told me so smugly that "no one will believe you" about the assault. isn't that so funny.

and no, she didn't "mistake me for a trans woman". she very angrily informed me that if i thought i could "escape what it means to be a woman" that i had another thing coming- that thing being corrective sexual assault and a concussion, it seems.

Btw decolonizing the Levant/Palestine/Eretz Yisrael means an immediate end to Israel's violence, dismantling Israel and its apartheid, acknowledging the Nakba, and it also means all Levantine peoples are Indigenous to the region.

Including Jews, Samaritans, Palestinian Arab Muslims and Christians, and Palestinian Circassians and Druze. All.

All of these peoples have ongoing historic, cultural and religious relationships with the land. There have always been multiple peoples in the Levant/Palestine/Eretz Yisrael, any other claim is just ahistorical.

A free Palestine means right of return for all Levantine peoples, neither a Jewish nor Arab ethnostate.

A free Palestine is possible.

i don’t know which autistic/adhd/any kind of neurodivergent person needs to hear this but: make a “just in case” bag

this is a pic of mine. it contains:

loop earplugs on the zipper

prescription glasses with a clip on sunglasses attachment

my public transport discount card

a pen

a glasses cloth + wet glasses wipes (which can also be used to clean my hands if needed!

wireless earbuds in case my headphones give out

tips for my apple pencil + silicon covers if i need a different texture/the sound is too loud

a sanitary pad (not for me, as i had a hysterectomy, but i like carrying one around for my menstruating friends)

a pouch with hair ties for when my hair bothers me

autism lanyard (not pictured, as i put it in after i took it)

will i use these every day? not necessarily. but it’s good to have these all in one place in a little pouch so it’s easy to throw into my bag as i use different ones for different occasions. that way i don’t have to think about all these things individually.

it might seem like common sense for some people, but i didn’t think of this until recently. so i wanted to share this in case it could be handy for other people. some more ideas for what to put in your bag under the break. you can make this as big or as small as you like so some ideas may seem a bit big

powerbank + cables (preferably a powerbank that has a LOT of charge)

snacks (do keep an eye on the expiration date)

painkillers/emergency meds (same thing about the expiration date)

sewing kit

deodorant/perfume

mini fan

hand warmers

scissors/nail clippers (for when tags/threads/your nails are bothering you)

tweezers

lucky charm (i have my lucky cat keychain. it just calms me to have)

plushie/stress ball/fidget toy

mints/a mini toothbrush and toothpaste

extra pair of underwear (for if you suddenly need to stay somewhere overnight or if an accident happens)

comb

band-aids + disinfectant

hand cream/soothing cream

soap/soap leaves

similarly, some mini shampoo or mini body wash (again for if you suddenly need to stay the night. there’s probably already some wherever you’re staying but again. this is a just in case bag)

q-tips

chapstick

makeup remover wipes

razors

hand sanitizer/general sanitizer

wet wipes/tissues

foldable bag

ruler/tape measure

this is a lot but keep in mind, these are just ideas. you don’t have to use everything, just pick out which things you think would be handy for you and make your bag accordingly. do feel free to add onto the list if you have any other ideas.
