I Felt (and Still Do) The Same When I Read The Book, But Ignore It Thinking That He Written It To Show

I think we need to have a very long sit down as a website to get y’all to respect queer non-cis man masculinity . Because every few months this website cycles through the “is it’s toxic masculinity when trans men/butches/gnc trans women/any non-cis men ask for their masculinity to be respected and to be treated as human” discourse and I’m kind of sick of it

I’m thinking about that person who asked me “ugh why would your parents want you to be attracted to men? Wouldn’t that make you gay? You men try to make everything about yourself” when I made a post about how I feel pressured to be a women who likes men because I grew up being told I’d be a woman who would marry a man and I asked if that counted as comphet. And people just couldn’t wrap their head around the fact that trans guys experience the misogynistic and heteronormative pressure to be women who likes men.

the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.

it’s never too late to be the guy you have always dreamed of being, transition today!

Theyfab is a slur. Reblog if you agree.

As a ace/aro baby writer, I need this. Thank you 💜💚

For aro/ace writers:

- you don't have to write sex scenes. Tolkien didn't

- you don't have to write romance. Lewis didn't

- you can write very close friendships that have nothing romantic nor sexual in them. Scott Lynch did

- you can write sexual relationships that don't involve romance. Sapkowski did

- you can write romantic relationships that don't involve sex. Pratchett and Gaiman did

Don't let anyone tell you that some kinds of relationships are impossible or that a story must contain some themes. It's your story, write it the way you want
