I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis

All he wants is a small loan of 10 billion berries 😊

How does David, a jacked metal boned monster of cyberware and rage not beat Adam Smasher, but a half dead exhausted mercenary surviving on good will, pure adrenaline and probably an unhealthy amount of caffeine with a psychotic rocker boy screaming in his head does?
Cyberpunk is fuckin wild, man
Day 1 - As a cat - Adrian.
Long story short, a while back I decided to pick up a 100 day oc art challenge, of which I promptly fell off of on day 8. However, I got a new art software which I'm using to remaster some traditional art, so I decided, fuck it, why not try and get through as many days as possible before I burn out, and post the results to tumblr? This one is a redraw, and is mainly just me dicking around with some of the features. There might be other installations but don't hold your breath.
with how we're all aware of how toxic masculinity leads men/boys to harass, assault, and abuse other men/boys, you'd think the fact they can be harmed by patriarchy and misogyny wouldn't be a controversial statment. *especially* marginalized men. but alas, many people have taken the "identity" in identity politics so literally, they just end up ignoring and reinforcing the harmful things they claim to be against.
also if you think the pain of the men harmed by toxic masculinity isn't a big deal because they're men... that is. that is literally you believing in toxic masculinity. like i thought we all knew part of toxic masculinity is that men shouldn't feel pain, they shouldn't cry, they can't ask for help or be truly hurt, etc. etc. and if they do any of these things, then they're not real men and not only deserve to be emasculated, but deserve to suffer. you just switched it to they are real men so they deserve to suffer.
and even though again, this is extra harmful for marginalized men, i shouldn't have to say that for you to care. if you only give support to people harmed by these systems when you think deserve it, you're always going to end up propping these systems up at some point. maybe you should stop that.
also. to any man reading this who feels like their pain doesn't matter: it does. you deserve to exist in a world where you're safe to be yourself and feel emotions, and get genuine protection and support. we all need to exist in that world. none of us deserve this hell.

Damian: Constructed in an unorthodox fashion
Jason : Built s t u p i d

Steph: Y'all are built different, I'm built incorrectly. I'm just wrong in every conceivable way. I should not exist

My art tag is #my art if you want to go through my blog and look at my styles. I'm cool with most fandoms you could request but you could probably catch a pattern with the ones I'm going to be most proficient at doing fanart for (one piece, jjk, loz 💀)
If I'm not comfortable with your request I'll just politely ask you to choose something else for me to draw😊
I am Abood from Gaza, I am 17 years old. The circumstances here in Gaza forced me to enter this application, perhaps someone can help me. My story is that I am a high school student because of the war in Gaza. I was forced to leave school because there were no safe schools during the war, and thus I lost my dream of completing my studies, as I was one of the diligent and top students in my school and I dreamed of a promising future, but this war stole everything from me, even my home and many, many relatives and loved ones around me. I hope that someone will put himself in my place and help me survive outside Gaza and complete my studies to achieve the dream that I have always dreamed of. Please help me 🙏 🥺

This blog has no consistent purpose, but if you wanna hang out, I got soup in the back. He/They, Bi, and fueled by caffiene, spite, and an endlessly shifting catalogue of fandoms. Blog is queer friendly. TERFs, Trump-supporters, and bigots of all kinds DNI. Free Palestine.
