Lemme tell you something about being transmasc and recovering from the abuse of a cis man. I’ve spent a majority of my adulthood running like hell from who my father was and seriously interrogating what I was taught about gender roles. You know what actually helped me most? No longer seeing my own masculinity as a cross to bear and something I must actively work against. I’m not responsible for my father’s choices, he is. Being a man isn’t why he made them, he made them because he’s him. To me, statements like “he’s a man and that’s what they do” lets him off the hook. No, that’s what abusers do.
things are so dark for trans folks right now, and i hate waking up every day to see nothing but fear and depression in our comunity. id like it if you could flood my ask box or even reblog this with the last bit of gender euphoria you had, no matter how big or small.
Unfriendly reminder that while you're busy mourning the loss of your childs old gender, claiming you need to mourn the death of your son/daughter, there's a group of boys/girls/enbies scrambling to take your kid clothes shopping, snatching up the chance to take those "first" experiences from you forever. Your sons first fishing trip is gonna be with his best bros, your daughters first makeover is going to be with her girl friends, your kids first camping trip out as themselves is gonna be with the besties. Good luck getting those bonding experiences back. While you're busy trying to guilt-trip your kid with your weird manufactured parental trauma, there's a whole community ready to take your place as the better family.
Your loss, someone elses gain.
Yesterday I tried to explain to my parents the difference between a transvestite and a transgender person and my dad was like "oh so you know everything about trans people now" like ironically. And I smiled with the dramatic irony of someone whose parents don't even know their baby daughter likes to be called a he/him on social media and queer spaces
hey. to the fat person reading this who wants to transition or is transitioning. make your transition goals fat like you. please. the things you aim to gain from transition can be gained while fat. you can be/express your gender and be fat. there is nothing wrong with that, no matter what anyone says. i promise.
let yourself exist. let yourself be happy. you have just as much of a right as every other person in this world to do that, especially as you transition. it's okay. you're going to be alright, and you're also going to look fucking awesome. you already look fucking awesome. it's your body. own it.
