Trans Liberation - Blog Posts

Thanks for excuse to doodle

I do get tired when I see popular trans solidarity art and they always depict the transmasc person/character fully passing with top scars slapped on, EVERYTIME. and while this isn't an inherently negative or problematic thing, I do get a feeling of being left out or just not really acknowledged, well because I kinda understand!

depicting trans men/masc folks with breast can be seen as "taboo" or "confusing" for some trans folks but the reality is that we just, exist... we're real people too.

I'ill be honest and say I get tired of the default trans man image being skinny-muscular guy who already got his top surgery. and anyone else who looks different from that is a nasty transtrender or whatever transmed garbage people spew. trans men/masc can be fat, and or curvy too, but I feel like people are terrified to acknowledge that over the fear of being labeled a fetishsizer. truthfully as a trans person no matter what people will label you as negative shit so you gotta push through the fear. it's why I draw what I draw.

Just in case anyone still has any doubts that the "anti-therian packers" argument is at least partially based in transphobia, this is a real, dead serious statement one of my (ex) mutuals made about why minors potentially having access to species affirming gear is wrong.

Like.

I legit don't even know what to say. This is genuinely so upsetting and concerning to hear from someone with a platform in a community meant to be accepting towards all types of individuals.

Not only is this a super inaccurate and invalidating way to think about nonhuman/transspecies identities, but it's also blatantly anti-transgender rhetoric. Replace the word "transspecies" with "transgender", and you have lines straight out of a speech given by a conservative politician about why queer books need to be banned in schools. The fact that they knew what they were saying was similar enough to transphobia that it was going to catch my attention is even more concerning, because it shows that they are capable of recognizing the similarities in their mindset but are simply choosing to ignore it.

I was a transspecies child. I knew there was something innately canine about me years before I even began to question my gender or sexuality. And I wish I had had the language to describe what it was that I was experiencing, instead of thinking I was going crazy for not feeling human.

Mark my damn words, we are going to start seeing a LOT more of this kind of thinking in the next few years (probably even months) and it's only going to get more aggressive, so if I were you guys I'd start putting petty differences aside and start banding the fuck together to help each other and our transgender human friends and family out.

As someone who's transmasc nonbinary, getting bottom surgery just isn't really something that appeals to me. Not sure why, I certainly have other forms of gender dysphoria, but Ive simply never felt discontent with what I was born with down there and currently have no plans to modify things.

However.

If it was possible for me to have a sheath I would POUNCE on that opportunity so fast omfg.
