Hope I'm not derailing at all, but I had a very similar experience trying to get breastforms for a friend of mine.
Can't make this up, one of the only two companies we found that made breast forms for darker skin just didn't fucking bother colouring in the areolas.
For the record, the lighter toned breastform they made had them colored in. It was literally only the one geared towards Black people that didn't. I genuinely cannot think of any good faith explanation for this.
Roughly speaking, we could find 1-4 light skin toned breastforms per company. After going through god knows how many, we found two geared towards black people, and one of them was the aforementioned No Areola breastform. And if you had anything in the middle, you were simply shit out of luck, as my friend was.
I have had better luck finding packers and straps for more varied skin tones where I am, but evidently that's not a universal experience.
So I'm starting this thing with this guy and I went to an *ahem* adult goods store because my previous harness is a modified pair of briefs that was tight when I was about 20lbs lighter and most assuredly I do not fit anymore and he's coming over in 2 weeks so I don't quite trust shipping atm
But also within that store was genuinely nothing that could even be close to my skin tone. They had "realistic" white skintones, bright purple and pink, and a few solid black or solid grey. Nothing in browner skin tones.
And it just reminded me of how much antiblackness is baked into society. That the only realistic penis is apparently one that belongs gs to a white man, and that black bodies are so undesirable while white bodies are considered the default.
talking about transmasc issues is crazy because if your post gets popular you'll have someone say "your issues are real but you shouldn't use a word for it" and the very next reply will be something along the lines of "I'm going to rape you and get you pregnant"
i go on instagram. i see that them magazine has posted an article about how to have sex with transmascs (written by a transmasc). i go to the comments. people complain about, amongst other things, how the first paragraph is transmisognistic and that there's no similar article for transfems. i go to the article. the first paragraph has a line about how transmascs are erased, with a link to an article about erasure. i leave instagram and put my head directly through the nearest wall
Ok, I want to preface this by asking you to please not immediately react with denial, anger, or accuse me of neglecting other groups, or just being uneducated.
Look up
'trans people india'
'trans people pakistan'
'trans people bangladesh'
'trans people malaysia'
'trans people turkey'
'trans people afghanistan'
'trans people tajkistan'
Look at interviewers, new reporters, trans life accounts, descriptions of trans communities, trans activists, autobiographies, protests, everything.
And ask yourself.
And do not balk, or accuse me of saying trans men are the most oppressed group in the world,
When I tell you they are enslaved. Or married. Or dead.
if you still fucking talk about "transfems are more visible than transmascs and that's unfair and means transmascs have it worse" just think for one second about what kind of visibility transfems are getting and shut the fuck up maybe
hey tumblr users, is it bodily autonomy to be denied transitional surgeries because society wants you to be able to get pregnant no matter what????
I do wanna point out that one of if not both the twins could also be intersex!
You’ve activated the infodump button regarding trans headcanons for the younger Pines twins:
At least one of those kids is trans. They’re said to be identical twins, which means they would’ve been assigned the same sex at birth. In order for them to be presenting as different genders at the time of the show, that means that one is trans. (Or they both are, but one hasn’t figured it out yet.)
I lean towards Dipper being transmasc and Mabel being cis, but I really enjoy all the different variations of trans headcanons people have come up with.
Gonna be a little obsessed with the idea of them both being transmasc since the previous anon mentioned transmasc Mabel, because I’m gonna be real, it hadn’t occurred to me that they might both be trans until reading that ask.
I think Gravity Falls has enough weirdness going on that thanks to supernatural gubbins the two can be trans in every direction and cis all at the same time, like quantum physics.

watching y’all shamelessly send transmascs and trans men death and rape threats for daring to talk about their oppression is fucking wild btw. There’s a transmasc confessions account that got so many fucking death/rape threats that one mod had to leave tumblr for a while and the other had to make a post being like “hey uhm so we’re both minors. Y’all have been telling teens to kill themselves. Hope you feel good about yourselves!”
Genuinely what the fuck is wrong with you people.
whatever i don't wanna post to main for whatever reason. expect lots of aesthetic posts and heavy/controversial topics ig.
