🌟 INTRODUCTION🌟

Has anyone else seen those videos of gender affirming surgeons “rating” trans people’s femininity/masculinity? Like they’ll stitch a video of a trans person documenting their transition and the surgeon will be like “Their face has perfectly feminized/masculinized” or “Even after the effects of hrt, their face is still masc/fem so I may reccomend getting facial feminization/masculinization surgery to really seal it”. And every time I see one of these I can’t think anything other than wait what???? Not only are you giving extremely unnecessary advice, but openly posting whether they are “passing” enough for you? Also just the assumption that all trans people want to be strictly masc and fem? That those are the only two options and that trans men/transmascs must be the epitome of masculine and transfems/ trans women must be the epitome of femininity? And it’s not like them stitching or reacting to their clients either, from what I’ve seen it’s mostly just random trans people who did not ask for this.

It feels like they are just looking at trans people like specimens to fix and perfect and force them into their neat little boxes on what they consider is a “complete medical transition” and “complete masculinity/femininity”. In the videos they act like they are the deciders of what is considered a masculine or feminine “look”. They always go out of their way to say how much of a trans ally they are and how they are helping trans people out too.

Also, never seen one about androgynous medical transitions. I have however seen them try to frame nonbinary people as trans men and trans women and force femininity/masculinity on them through “advice”.

Just because you work in trans healthcare and call yourself an “ally” doesn’t mean you are. Especially if you do shit like this. You don’t get a pass just because of your job.

An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)

tiktok fandom culture is so wild bc why can't people ship things for fun anymore why's it gotta be a canon competition 😭😭😭

like to see someone in the tma/tmagp fan space say THIS ,,,

"just going to end up with sam and alice" JUST GOING ????

not to be the friend that is too woke but a story about a transwoman and a brown man being codependently linked across timelines is actually a very interesting story???? so what if alice and sam are hashtag forever in the end ???? would that be so awful ??????

like don't get me wrong i love dyhard but if you're not picking up that the relationship between sam and alice is driving the plot then i fear you need to turn up the podcast a little louder

“Why should rich people pay more” because fuck ‘em

“So you are okay for paying more when you have money” I am not excluded from ‘fuck ‘em’ when relevant

scent bottles, c. 17-1800s.

nothing compares to listening to tma for the first time and realising jonmartin are going to be Canon canon not just exaggerated by the fandom or heavily implied

Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.

bugs is…. shrimp????

if this 5000 year old tree isn’t too old to realize that its trans neither are you

did you know public libraries are free and beautiful
