Ride Or Die

ride or die

Made the mistake of bringing up that needing glasses is a disability on tiktok and people got real mad.

“You can fix it with glasses” yeah, cuz they’re a disability aid? But like, I still have to pay 160 bucks to use my own fucking eyes?

Like, by definition, if your eyes do not work without aid, you have a disability to see.

Having a disability doesn’t automatically put you in what people consider the “disabled” category, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is in fact, a disability.

but what if a vampire drank the blood of someone who was anemic like would they be seriously grossed out

“what the fuck is this”

“i have anemia”

“can you take something for that you should probably take something for that this shit is nasty to drink let alone have running through your body i’m setting up a doctor’s appointment for you”

the sunshine transmasculine flag

was very bored last night. don’t really like the any of the transmasc flags floating around so i made myself a little transmasc flag with a sun representing masculinity the way the sun is masculine. note that this flag is for anyone who relates their gender to the term “transmasculine”, including but not limited to binary or nonbinary trans guys, transmasc butch lesbians, transmasc nonbinary/genderqueer/agender ppl, etc. if you like/use this pls lmk bc i just made this for myself but i would love for others to find meaning in it!!

here are the stripe meanings!!!

burnt orange/red: the multifaceted nature of transmasculine identity, such as an individual’s relationship (or lackthereof) to femininity and womanhood, their lack of gender, nonbinary gender, and/or multitudes of gender, and the intersection of gender and sexuality (such as nonbinary lesbianism). represents each individual’s own definition of their trans identity and the beauty in its potential complexity, multiplicity, and wholeness.

light orange: represents transmascs finding happiness and fulfillment in all areas of our lives. also represents gender euphoria and the happiness trans identity brings

yellow: represents the transmasc community in general, and emphasizes our connections, love, and mutual aid. this stripe also represents t4t relationships and uplifting fellow transmasc voices, especially those of us who are the most marginalized (including but not limited to transmascs who are poc, disabled, poor, fat, etc).

light green: represents transition in all aspects of the word. does not necessarily represent medical transition (medical transition is not necessary to be transmasculine), but does represent transition in whatever way the individual thinks of their own transition. highlights positive change within our lives.

dark green: represents each transmasc individual’s unique connection and relationship to masculinity. highlights positive, wholesome relationships to masculine identity and/or presentation.

yellow circle/sun: the symbol of the sun- sunshine, wholeness, happiness, and light. represents being masculine in the way the sun is masculine. highlights the brightness of healthy masculinity

Transtidal: A trans person who has a masculine or man related identity, is transitioning towards masculinity or manhood, etc., regardless of anything else about their identity. Can be shortened to transtid.

Someone who might want to use this label includes...

Those whose manhood or masculinity is distinctly trans, but do not identify with being a trans man or transmasculine.

Someone who is admasculine and/or sensmasculine, and who feel that this identity is also trans.

People who do not want their AGAB assumed; only that they are trans, and aligned with masculinity or manhood in some way. This includes transmasc and trans men who would rather not disclose being that identity for safety, comfort, or preference.

Identifying with your AGAB, while also feeling as though you're transitioning towards it or have an identity surrounding it in a trans way (such as experiencing a different kind of masculinity or manhood.)

Nonbinary, genderqueer, etc. men or masculine people who want a blanket term for their trans identity, or who feel as though they're transitioning to manhood or masculinity in their own way.

Those who are reclaiming their manhood or masculinity that was formerly upsetting or wrong for them, and thus feel as though they're transitioning to it or only just realizing their manhood or masculine gender.

Someone who is simply trans and masculine and/or a man, and likes the term transtidal to describe that.

Plenty more!

The term refers to the tides, and how they rise and sink, flow and recede from the ocean, and can represent someone's identity or transition. Or it can just be a cool nod to the ocean, doesn't matter.

The feminine equivalent to this term is translunar.

This term was made by me, but the flag and symbol weren't; they were submitted by someone! I edited the flag a bit to be brighter, but other than that, credit goes to them!
