Cis men: it is time to start asking your doctor for a testosterone prescription and giving it to your local trans man or masc to stock up. I am not kidding, we need this.
It's wild that a trans masc will say "trans men are treated badly" and all of the comments proceed to prove him right with "oh so you must hate trans women" or "you deserve it actually"
wow I came out to my grandma and I love how old immigrants have already dealt with so much that nothing fazes them *grandmother squints* "so, yu di wan boi now?" "yes grandma" "and yu sure?" "yup, pretty sure" *more grandmotherly squinting* "okay. i love you no matter what." l
The t4t couples that are "weird little man + bombshell" are cute and all but there is very special place in my heart for t4t couples that are more like "lumberjack and cryptid they found in the woods" or "bombshell, and the tank girl that shot the bombshell"
hellloooo young punks. do NOT lace your docs in red. doc martens themselves won't even sell red laces, so don't do it.
why?
red laces are a n*zi dogwhistle, and you'll get the shit kicked out of you. rightfully.
@communoah
i kinda just wish people would stay out of his private life like the man is/was struggling w addiction and a divorce. like by all means if he was sexually inappropriate drag the man but all im seeing rn is a dude trying to pick up pieces?
Do you anti transmasculine people operate in a vacuum or what like do you have the word "trans man" muted so you can make up whatever story fits your narrative
the Olympics banning these cis women for having testosterone levels is hyper transphobic, yes. but I am BEGGING white trans women with large followings who are talking about this to please point out the very disturbing racism inherent in these rulings as well.
Some of you live in a weird fantasy world where trans men come out and all the cis dudes around us go "sick bro", dap us up, and don't view us with disdain and suspicion or outright hostility and it shows
Trans man: i have struggles
Yall: why aren't you talking about the plight of trans women? You must hate trans women bc you didn't acknowledge them in your post about yourself
When you say "trans people flee the country", what are you leaving unsaid to Indigenous trans people?
Leave your ancestral lands which were already stolen from you once? & what about Black & brown trans people? Where are they supposed to safely go?
I'm very tired of antitransmasculinity and the way that you all delight in gaslighting trans men about how "bad we have it" (it's pretty fucking bad!) Constantly
Where did brogle even mention trans women? Oh right he didn't but bc you fucks think trans issues begin and end with yt trans women, you consider every criticism of trans twt as a whole a personal attack. Maybe be less racist and defensive?
The things chasers say about trans men and mascs make my stomach turns ("ideal women bc they're easy to get off and always horny" "just tell them they're acting like a chick if they get attached and they'll shut up" "they get submissive when a real man touches them" etc. Etc.
I don't think the racism problem on trans twitter will get better until big white trans accounts step up, call out the racist white trans accounts, BY NAME, and set an example for their peers.
You can parrot "listen to BIPOC" all you want but I'd like to see some action.
White people will invent an "executive dysfunction hack" and it'll be like "call yourself a little creature who needs a habitat cleaning" and i GET IT, i really do, but also it hits a lil different when you've like, unwillingly been called a creature or animal before, yk?
trans men were institutionalized in mental hospitals well into the 70's for saying they were trans men. i'm deeply appreciative for the trans fems during that time who were fighting for our rights. but you have to remember why trans men weren't there. we couldnt be
Like... Let me tell you a secret
Most trans men in western history weren't Dr Barry, passing and living his life and achieving his goals, most were the crazy daughter that was mentally and physically tortured by their family
Like this is ridiculous a trans man could say "i hate strawberries" nd you fuckers would be like "oh well strawberry shortcake is a fem so you must be a misogynist" every time a trans man talks about HIS experiences yall assume he's erasing women's and it really feels intentional
It's very funny when people say I opted out of misogyny by realizing my transmasculinity openly bc if anything since coming out i'm hit with "sit down and shut up you're taking up space" from MORE people now
Every single part of this is incorrect???
Admitting that trans men/mascs suffer things doesn't automatically mean trans women/fems don't also suffer things!!! Christ
The stereotype that testosterone automatically makes you an unfeeling monster is so untrue bc I started T-HRT and I cry probably more readily now. I'm no longer feeling my emotions through a fog. Maybe, just maybe, some people just run better on certain hormones.
Why do so many of you expect trans men to sit down shut up and accept all the vitriol you have for cis men, the actual perpetrators of the *system* of patriarchy? Bc you can't tell me trans men had a hand in building that throughout history.
@arakkisuperstar
In my experience there's two types of popular kids: ones who are genuinely just really nice people and good listeners that others enjoy being around, and horrible people who climb over each other to reach the top.
clarifications: this may depend on location, so check with your local punks.
ladder laced red or white laces are a stronger dogwhistle.
my decision is to avoid red (and white) laces because it's a 100% free way to help make POC and Jewish people feel safer.
Fun fact: if you're white and you see someone attempting to apologize for racism you don't get to accept that apology.
IT WASN'T FOR YOU.
We, POC, get to decide whether we want to accept that apology or not.
I feel like trans twt learned that trans women do not undergo "male socialization" and went "oh! So trans men DO!" And that cannot be further from the case
Have yall noticed how we will say "antitransmasculinity is real" nd someone will pop in like "nope! Transmisandry doesn't exist you're wrong!" Like you are not slick
Semi serious tips for trans guys: keep a travel bottle of hand sani on you so you don't have to out yourself by washing your hands at a public restroom
The reactions to the recent round of "please don't call T poison" discourse has reminded me once again that some of you care more about hating men than you care about uplifting other trans people and that's weirdo priorities
my villains aren't queer bc i'm bigoted. my villains are queer bc i'm queer, and everyone in my writing is queer. also the sexual tension between the bastions of good and evil is hot as fuck
only on twitter dot com could you have a white woman bragging about being a part of a notibly racist, misogynistic, and transphobic group of trans people who were known protectors of sexual predators twist things into how she's actually the victim here
okay so "man in a dress" is always a bad gag BUT men who just wear dresses????? lovely. trans MASCS who just wear dresses??? lovely. anyone who makes the skirt go spinny and feels a little glee from it? LOVELY.
@kittybatpurrs
Basically, the anti trans legislation is building a foundation to make it harder for adults to get HRT as well. T will be the first to go because it's already a controlled substance. Right now it's just stocking up and fighting the laws as hard as we can
Spoke with essentially a case worker who makes sure the disability applications go through and she told me I basically had to cut my work hours down bc I can't make more than $1280 before taxes in a month just to qualify 🙃
Hate being recommend a folk witchy podcast and they mention hp within the 1st ten minutes and then the 1st book they recommend has divine feminine in the title.
How dare a trans man talk about his experience as a trans person, bc clearly it's less important than the experiences of every hypothetical trans woman ever
@transyonic
even if this guy didn’t write the title, he should’ve thought about how a room of engagement-hungry cis + presumably straight authors would’ve wanted to market the article
a) how does a binder company have the money to buy autostraddle?
b) gender tracking app?? and this copy???
c) the gender tracking app doesn't have a privacy policy so lord knows what they're doing with your gender evolution data
I'm starting to feel like it's really time to get a diverse group of trans men and mascs together to write a book on antitransmasculinity. I'll help organize it if the desire is there.
@eachapm
I found the black one's mom under a dumpster and then she gave a lot of birth and now I have Kingsley. The Tabby climbed on my shoulder at a shelter and wouldn't let go so I had to take him home. He's Teddy and he still mostly stays directly on top of me at all times.
Just thinking for no reason at all about the trans guy that was k!lled defending two women from homophobes & all he got from y’all was misgendering, disrespect, & some weird “we forgive you for making the mistake of ‘choosing’ to be a man” after…
Since nobody will explain what group brought on 3 trans men and no women, or what policy they worked on. a huge amount of the policies introduced about sports this year affected trans men too. So maybe its fine if Chase Strangio, ACLU trans rights dpt head, was there. I dunno.

@transguyenergy
Yes? I am a gay guy in a gay relationship(with a cis guy)? Sometimes we DO go to the local gay club. If you're mad about it, go to a different gay club. 🥴
@SahMool
No. This is not an opportunity for cis men to make a quick buck off of people who ALREADY struggle economically on a greater level than the general population.
White trans people talking about "trans people were sacred in older cultures" yes the cultures your white culture colonized and destroyed. Your transness does not erase your whiteness. be mindful of intersectionality. consider before you claim things that wouldn't have been yours
if you ever wonder why trans masc everything seems to be about 20 years behind it's because we couldn't function without a husband till like 1975, so there was no running away to transition for so, so many of us
I really do not like the way yall jumped to call that bald trans guy ugly. Lots of trans people are bald for many reasons and still not throwing us under the bus, and they see yall calling this man ugly. His opinions and morals are ugly.
As the new round of “are trans men evil and bad actually?” discourse goes around I would like you to think of how many trans men you know are open sexual abuse survivors VS other demographics and then check the statistics for how many trans men VS other demographics experience SA
since im trans masc and therefore cant make anyone happy with my aesthetic choices I've decided to move forward by becoming absolutely unbearable to everyone. im growing an even longer neckbeard and then i think i'll get really into ska.
Just admit hearing that you have to work on yourself hurts. Bc we are all born into a world that vehemently supports the *system* of yt supremacy, we learn racism from birth because it's inherent in our system. You can LIKE BIPOC and still be UNAWARE of the ways you still--

@ranrampant
Did you see the tweet? The person said “all non black trans people are racist” without any evidence or basis for the claim. It was clearly just hurtful. No one is saying there isn’t a racism issue but saying “all x are y” is not good
p.s. the joke was hurtful and it sucked. should not have been made. but uh, I think we had that part of the response handled without doxxing her (and sexually harassing her!)
@barnacle_jim69
@_Floodlight
Climate doomerism is silly. Indigenous people AND environmentalists have told us we CAN make things better. We can still keep this place livable. Big oil would rather have us believe there's no hope so why try
@SmutWithPlot
that's honestly exactly what I expect from her lol!!! i know she's secretly super worried, and questioning (and probably a little sad she doesn't have any granddaughters) BUT she loves her new grandson, and she's trying, and that's enough for me🥺💕💙
@SahMool
No. This is not an opportunity for cis men to make a quick buck off of people who ALREADY struggle economically on a greater level than the general population.
My intention with this is to make language on outreach and posters more inclusive of trans men, intersex people, etc who still need resources that places who often serve "women and nonbinary people". Workshop this! Doesn't have to be the phrase I offered.
It's so interesting to me that Dominick specifically asked if the trans men involved spoke up about the lack of trans women in the email chain and that question specifically was ignored.
Curious.
Being called out for being anti-Black and deleting your account rather than taking accountability is not "being harassed off the app." It's white tears, and it is a pattern.
Marginalized genders, or mage for abbreviation. Mage is a magical person. And trust me honey we are magical and powerful. So if you see mage being used during discussions it’s abbreviated for MArginalized GEnder. MaGe
I was unaware that having a different experience meant you got a free card to not give a shit about everyone else. Or is that not what we were arguing with the cis for?
