Trans women timelines part 1! (Click image for credit)
Hey, cis women who say "I wish I was a man but definitely not a trans way, haha! I would never be a man :)"
I say this with all the gentleness in my heart: It is okay for you to be a man. If you want to be a man, you can just be one. You also don't have to stop being a woman to be a man. Multigender people exist. You can be a man and a woman at the same time. Or you can be just a man, or a non-binary man, or non-binary, or something entirely different. You can do and be whatever you want and whatever makes you happy.
Becoming a man is not a betrayal of womanhood and feminism. And everyone who makes you feel like it is an absolute asshole, and you should not ever listen to them. You do not have to push your own happiness aside for other peoples' comfort.
If you want to be a man, try it out! See where it gets you. Maybe it turns out that you really weren't trans, or not a trans man but something else entirely, and that's fine, too. Maybe it turns out you are a trans man. In any case, following those thoughts might get you to a happier and better place in the end. And if you turn out to be happier as a man than you were as a woman, that is wonderful.
Please don't feel forced to stay a cis woman for feminism - any feminism that mistreats or hates trans men and transmasculine people is bad feminism. Being a trans man or transmasc is not a moral failure.
Trans manhood and masculinity are wonderful, and you deserve happiness. And if you find that happiness in manhood/masculinity, you don't deserve to be shamed or harassed for it, and you should not be made to feel the need to put yourself down for it, either.
MAN
But uh

If Janet from The Good Place can wear dresses and have long hair and use she/her pronouns and not be a girl, so can you!
Let's see... writing my name sometimes brings on massive waves of gender euphoria. It's great
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.
transition according to your own needs, and create your own transition timeline. you are not transitioning "wrong" or "late" if you come out later in life, or if you are not out or on hormones by your 20's. you are allowed to take time and assess which parts of transition suit you, and which don't. it's okay to take it slowly if you want to, it's okay to take actual years to make decisions.
it's okay to also move quickly through transition, as long as you know it's right for you, and you've done research into how it can affect your long term health, if you are choosing HRT and other medical avenues of transition. for some people, the dysphoria is so unbearable they have to get their hands on HRT as soon as possible or they may not make it to the other steps of their transition. this is okay, too, just be sure to practice as many harm reduction practices are you are possibly capable of doing- avoiding frequent binding while your body is still growing can help you in the long run, for example.
regardless, it's okay to transition at any rate or pace, you're not transitioning "too late" if you transition in your late 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and beyond. it's okay to admit you feel trans if you're very, very young, it doesn't mean you'll "grow out of it"- there is no order to the steps in which you need to take to make yourself comfortable- it doesn't matter if you start by diving HRT first after doing research on how it will affect you, or start by switching pronouns and working your way up. transition how it feels right for you.
i love trans people with "freaky" genders. i love trans people with "boring" genders. i love trans people with genders they don't even fully understand, genders that change, genders that are static, genders that are binary, genders that are obscure, and genders that are more than one of these things at once. i love trans people feeling free and open to express themselves and being happy to share their gender with the world regardless of what it is. i love trans people feeling empowered and passionate and refusing not to share their gender with the world regardless of what it is.
i love deeply dysphoric trans people. i love trans people who are learning to share themselves in small ways. i love trans people who jump between self-love and self-hatred on a daily basis, trans people who are only safe to be themselves inside their homes, and trans people who are only safe to be themselves inside their heads.
are you a scenecoric transmasculine lesbian? amazing. i love you. are you a binary trans man? fabulous. i love you. an agender high-fem queer? a transfeminine gay man? a system with both cis and trans alters? a binary trans woman? a voidgender nblm transmasc? a trans man who is considering he might be nonbinary? a nonbinary person who is considering they might be a trans woman? are you just plainly Not Cis in a way you can't describe? incredible. fantastic. fucking effervescent. i'm obsessed.
forget valid, fuck valid. your gender is worth celebrating. it's amazing. it's actively cool as hell that you are who you are.
Pls don’t worry about being here on my blog you deserve happiness respect and a good life and if your transitioning then Pls feel free to talk about it with me if people are making you feel bad and sad about what your doing love all of y’all even if your in pride
The shall love your neighbor-the bible
Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.
REBLOG IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS A TRANSFEM SAFE SPACE.
We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.
i really needed this. it took me years to understand who i am, specifically because of awful men and experiences with men in my life who made me terrified of men and masculinity. i was scared to the point that i violently rejected myself every time i started to feel like maybe i wasn’t a girl because i was so scared of being a man and what that might mean for me as a person. it took meeting and becoming close with some wonderful trans men and a very wonderful and special cis guy for me to finally relax and realize that i didn’t have to be afraid. that being masc isn’t being evil or dangerous. that there are truly beautiful, lovely men out there, some trans and some cis. that despite how dangerous the men of the world can be, there’s good too. and i am fully capable of being part of that good. i’m still working on internalizing it. thank you op <3
Idk what trans man needs to hear this but you're NOT evil or disgusting for being a man. You do NOT have to suffer for the sins of the patriarchy committed by cis dudes. Being a man doesn't invalidate the misogyny you experienced growing up or experience now. Being a man doesn't mean you deserve to be isolated. Being a man doesn't mean you're inherently predatory or scary. You didn't "choose" this, and finding your true self is NOT "betraying the community" because you happen to be a man and/or masculine rather than a woman and/or feminine. You ARE allowed to be upset when people "affirm" your gender by malgendering you.
You DO deserve a community that uplifts you. You DO deserve to experience trans joy. You DO deserve to have your voices heard and your struggles recognized. Wanting the bare minimum of solidarity is NOT "making everything about trans men".
