Trans Men Are Men - Blog Posts

I support this with my being and it's a fact

transgender men are not a fetish

transgender women are not a fetish

transgender people are not a fetish

“I’m fine with trans women but not in biological women’s spaces—“ separate but equal is not equal, pick up a history book.

Can’t you recognize how your ideologies and biases are reflected in people historically on the WRONG SIDE of the humans rights debate?

Say it with me kids: tagging your fic about two gay men as m/f because one of them is FTM is transphobia!

You have the right to work in a place that is free from harassment and bullying. Know your rights. Civil Rights Act Title VII for anyone in the US.

Reyla's Metaphor

Imagine, if you will, that each of us lives inside our own house. Each of our houses are different. Some are small some are big. Some are plain and simple, while others are complicated and eclectic. Some are low maintenance or easy to fix. Some are constantly broken or need repairs often. While growing up in our houses we've seen them grow and change with us. We decorated them, replaced or re-arranged the furniture, painted, remodeled, added an extension, removed and extension, etc. Some of us are comfortable in our homes, and some of us aren't. Most of us like our homes but would change some things if we could.

For the most part, I didn't hate my house. It did what a house should do, and it did it reliably. I even had a lot of fun in it. But then one day, I found a door in my house that I hadn't ever noticed before. It had a window. When I looked through it, I saw that my home had a backyard. I opened the door and stared out in disbelief.

"Had this been here the whole time? I've been living in this house for 31 years and I'm only just now seeing this?!?"

I was cautious at first and it wasn't a good time to explore my new-found space, so I closed the door and went about my normal indoor business. Over the next several months and years I revisited this door and began to explore the backyard. It was bigger than the house. It amazed me with all sorts of gardenia and outdoor living space. And the more I explored, the less I wanted to go back inside the house. In the backyard I came alive. There, I could feel things I never felt before, and more vividly. The air was fresh and I could breath deeply and more easily. The sky dazzled magically out there.

Then one day, I discovered a gate.

"Another mysterious door? A second backyard perhaps?"

Delighted at the prospects of having even more space to explore, I let my curiosity put my hand on the latch. I was not prepared for what I opened into. For on the other side of that gate, was a vast and endless countryside. Mountains, hills, canyons, valleys, lakes, rivers, maybe someday I'll even find oceans!

The more I travel this countryside, the more I learn about myself. Having found and opened that gate changed everything. And now I want my house to emulate the beauty and grandeur of this countryside. This is where my very soul resides.

This is what it's like to realize that there is more to your soul and your identity than your body's genome. And it is certainly more magnanimous than 2 or 3 mortal chromosomal proteins can embody. Having found a greater version of myself, my true self which I'm still exploring, I want my house to be a better representation of who I am. Something much more genuine. I've redecorated and I'm remodeling. I'm rediscovering designs that I thought weren't for me because they were too 'Fem' or whatever.

Thinking back on it, I had looked out that window before on several occasions throughout my life. I just never realized it was actually a doorway.

I know some people don't like the way I'm decorating my house, even to the point they think it shouldn't be permitted in public (or even in private for some extremists). And there are people who think I should be locked inside the old version of my house never to see the mountains or stars again. But you can't undiscover yourself anymore than you can uncrack an egg. I can never go back, and I will stand up for everyone else who wishes to enter their own backyards.

Some people discover their backyard very early in life. Some people see the door, get scared, and never look at it again. For Cis people, their backyard is already congruent with their house. Well, mostly congruent anyway.

Just a little tidbit of what we know now. More to come!

Q: What is a woman?

A: That definition is entirely dependent on the micro-culture in which it's use is currently relevant.

Bonus answer: The mere fact that this is a "controversial question" reinforces the notion that gender is nothing more than a social construct.

Extra credit answer: For every attempt of a definitive answer, there is a historical contradiction.

No, there is no universal trans experience. Yes, there will always be trans dudes who have it easier than you, or were lucky enough to get their gender affirming care younger or cheaper or easier than you. They're still trans. The second we stop fighting with each other about which of us are valid is the second we can start fighting the real enemy; those motherfuckers teaching crabs how to read.

JK ROWLING IS A TERF

im so mad I don’t know where to begin with her crusade against trans girls and women. To portray some of the most marginalized people as predators when many of them worshiped her and became writers because of her. My friend he became a writer and she turned on him saying trans men are just abused women trying to escape womanhood. She really is projecting the image that trans women are just men in women’s clothing trying to prey on women that she wrote a whole book with a cross dressing serial killer to project these beliefs. I am so TIRED of having to fight so pe give me basic respect and now she’s attacking innocent peopl while doctors and pediatricians beg her to stop spreading this hate that is hurting the children they care for. She’s hurting the children she claims this little crusade of hers is to protec. She puts up that shirt saying ’This witch won’t burn‘ while going on a witch hunt against trans women herself. I’m so disgusted by her actions and how they’re impacting peopl I know and care for.
