TRANSPRIDE: How Misogyny Hurts Trans Men, or We Do... →
supermattachine:
TW: Transphobia, cissexism, misogyny, sizeism, erasure, descriptions of dysphoria.
I am wary of the uncritical acceptance of the idea that trans men have male privilege. I’ve seen with my own eyes the way some trans men can benefit sometimes from male privilege, but they…

TransFusion: Gender Stereotypes: A Trans Dilemma →
evilbabycrocodile:
Fantastic blog post about how trans people struggle with their gender presentation. If they act too much like their gender they are stereotypes, if they act to much like their sex they are “not really” what they say they are.
It’s an infuriating dilemma that I have run into myself, even though I’ve not yet transitioned.

Call for Submissions
Attention all SOFFAs of transmen and -women and genderqueer individuals! If you have a story to tell, a picture you took, art to share, poem to read, video to show, PLEASE SUBMIT TO ME!
As has been noted to me recently, this blog is skewed toward the ftm side of things because I am a partner of an ftm (and it is easier to find things on those relationships). I highly encourage anyone to...

I understand the uncomfortable feeling that comes with incorrect pronouns, and although I do not understand the logic behind pronouns that do not match your presentation, I will do my best to call people what they want me to call them.
My point here is that you cannot go into today’s society and…
Anonymous asked: My ftm boyfriend lives three hours away and has dysphoric feelings almost every day but he cannot start transitioning for at least two years. How can I help him feel better when I cannot actually be there for him? What can I do?

So you might have noticed...
That things have slowed down here (if you are a regular viewer). This is due to working 40 hours a week and with school looming over my head in a month, things are going to change. I’ll still be posting and adding things to the queue, but mostly I want to be available for anyone to ask for help/advice. And I still want to be open for submissions! I’ll be re-posting my call soon.
Sorry...

misohead:
It just occurred to me that the narrator getting pronouns and gender wrong is especially bad on many levels. Because the narrator in documentaries is the voice of reason, the one who’s giving an objective viewpoint and summarising how things really are.
So for the narrator to be using the wrong…

gender terms - its more complicated than that →
Anonymous asked: I think expecting there to be a balance between material out there about ftm men and their relationships and material about mtf women and their relationships overlooks just how dangerous it can be for mtf women to openly discuss being trans. Transmisogyny is very real and so it's probably not easy for these women to be out on Tumblr discussing their lives. There are probably other factors...
Anonymous asked: I've heard a few times that it's not right to refer to trans individuals as "FTMs" or "MTFs" like that in and of itself is... a thing to be? Like it's different from just man or woman maybe. FTM and MTF are meant to be adjectives, like a MTF woman or FTM man. I see you using FTM and MTF as nouns and wanted to know if you've heard this pointed out before...

therapy.: About Purportedly Gendered Body Parts →
From my understanding, a central endeavor of feminist, queer, and trans activists has been to dismantle the cultural ideologies, social and legal norms that say that certain body parts determine gender identity and gendered social characteristics and roles. We’ve fought against the idea that…

I just found your blog and I think it’s fantastic. So I figured it would be a good place to ask something that has been weighing heavy on my mind. To start off, I am a trans* dude who likes the ladies…but not all the ladies like me. I find it so hard to find girls who identify as straight but…
