A Cis Woman Tells Me That Maybe She Should Transition To Gain Male Privilege As I'm Recovering From Getting

Trans men/Transmascs: "Transphobes hate us and they don't see us as real men, they see us as a threat to patriarchal masculinity and they reduce us to our AGAB. This impacts us in many ways that cause us to perpetually experience misogynistic and transphobic violence in ways that usually allow for plausible deniability because the perception of manhood is centered on cis manhood. Transition does not grant us relief or escape from this like some people claim it does as long as we live in a transphobic society."

Transandrophobes that the larger queer community doesn't criticize for some reason: "why are you misgendering yourself, why are you reducing yourself to your biology, focus on real issues"

for whoever needs to hear this:

starting HRT doesn't have to be a huge momentous all-or-nothing decision. you can just try it like you would an antidepressant you've been informed of the risks of.

there won't be any immediate irreversible changes overnight. you can always stop, change your dose, change your delivery system, decide it's not the right time. you can even microdose if you want to.

you don't have to tell anyone. you don't have to announce it if you don't want to.

stop waiting for a perfect time in your life because it won't come.

stop waiting to reach a mythical level of certainty that never comes to anyone, for anything.

you've been thinking about it long enough. if you have the opportunity, just give it a shot. you're worth the courage it takes to make a change in your life.

"i have no doubts about the rich inner world of their own gender identies but it's clear they are just men trying to be predatory" how can you write something like this without realizing how transphobic it is holy mother of fucking god. maybe they feel connected to masculinity and not manhood BECAUSE THEY DO NOT IDENTIFY AS MEN. it is not some secret mask to hide behind so they can abuse you. jesus fucking christ the fearmongering has to stop. the perpetual victimhood has to stop. if you have so few braincells you think a non stealth transmasc is oppressing you then maybe you need to get off tumblr and have a fucking brain transplant

my brothers response to me starting hrt a few weeks ago

im studying to become a veterinarian and we need to stop normalizing animal neglect as the norm this shits actually disgusting 😭

KEEP YOUR CATS INSIDE!!!!!!

indoor cats live up to 20 years whilst outside cats typically only live till theyre 4-10!!!!!

STOP neglecting your cat.

and your “outdoor cat” ISNT your cat. thats just a cat that comes to your house once in a while. they live outside because you refuse to actually care for them. dont be surprised if the cat never returns and hope and pray someone took them in and they didnt die a horrible and painful death like being hit by a car, dying of hypothermia/heat stroke, being taken by other ACTUAL wild animals because fun fact! theres no such thing as a wild version of the domesticated house cat! because they ARE DOMESTICATED. they are NOT meant to be outside. they ruin the environment and its very likely theyre going to die a horrible and painful death!!!

and to people saying that they cry because they want to go out i hope to god you dont have children and i don’t even believe in god! because cats are mentally toddlers and i bet your ass wouldn’t let a toddler go play in the fucking street just because they’re crying because they want to. there ARE safe ways to bring your cats out such as…

walks! bring your cat out on walks on leashes! if you have the space, time, and money then build a catio!

STOP putting your cats life in danger because youre fucking lazy. do not get a pet if you cant properly provide or care for them. i have zero empathy for people like that. if you cannot afford the time and money for a cat then do NOT GET ONE. surrender them to a shelter!! find someone else to give them to!! dont put your animal in danger just because you refuse to admit that youre a bad pet owner.

stop normalizing the neglect and abuse of cats. take care of your fucking cat and bring them inside where they are warm and safe.

You're gonna let somebody with an outside cat talk to you that way....?

i find this really funny because before i finally transitioned (like a month before) i was telling my then boyfriend about how i wanted to have a dick and asked him if he ever wanted to have a vagina and he went “???? no???” and thats when i found out that wanting the opposite sex organ is NOT a normal thought most people have :/

all of my bsfs when i had told them about my want also agreed with me and ironically half of them are trans (one is a trans man and one is genderfluid) LMAO

Just trans things.
