; give me five seconds to go sob !! /lh /pos

if you are a trans boy, especially a teenage trans boy, i wanted to say that as a trans man in their 30's, you have my deepest respects and condolences for what you may be going through right now.

it has become socially acceptable and basically online custom to bully teenage trans boys & mascs, call them cringy, or excuse misgendering them for whatever reason. people put trans boys on this pedestal of "must perform masculinity and manhood to cartoonish degrees" even though they're still children.

people make trans boys fight for their manhood before they can even be boys. i am sorry people can be so judgmental and harsh on you. you are not wrong for wanting to be a boy. you are experiencing something wonderful. it's okay if you still want to be a boy even if people have treated you poorly, or tried to make you feel bad for being a boy. there is nothing wrong with being a boy.

it's okay if you never socially transition. it's okay if you're afraid to come out because it's not safe. it's okay if you never change your outward appearance. it's okay if you try very hard to pass but struggle to. it's okay if you wear "women's" clothing and shoes, bras, makeup, etc., it's okay if you're gay and love other men. it's okay if you're scared of hrt. it's okay if you don't want surgery. it's okay if you mainly occupy girl's spaces still. people will find every reason to pick these things apart and ridicule trans boys for, but they are all perfectly fine experiences that do not make you any less of a boy. you are the one who is in control of your transition, presentation, and state of being- you should be able to prioritize your safety over the comfort of random strangers who have no impact over how you live your life.

i've been put through this too, but later in life as i came out when i was an adult. people still try to make me feel bad for identifying as a trans man, for whatever reason they have in their head to justify hatred of a trans person. i've had enough. there will never be an excuse for how people try to excuse the infantilization and abuse that trans men and trans boys face.

take care of yourselves, no matter what age you are, if you are a trans boy, man, or masc you deserve to know that other trans men care about you, especially when people are scrambling to find ways to punch down on you. there are people who suck, but there are also a lot of people who care about you. keep your chin up. you know who you are

; when I say y'all are unique I mean it. Your experiences, your emotions, your identity(ies), your relationships, your pain, your art, your reactions, you. You are you and no one else is 100% you !! You can't be someone else no matter how hard you try, because at the end of the day you're the only you to ever be. And that's a good thing, because I, personally, love you. /gen ( that was so many yous I apologize. 😭😭 /lh )

It can be really hard to learn to engage in positive self talk, but sometimes it's easier to start by pretending it's coming from a friend, first 💜

; hullo !! Basically Juneteenth marks the day ( June 19th, 1865 ), Major General Gordan Granger ( I think I've spelt the name right .. ) and Union troops reached Galveston and informed the enslaved Texans there that they were actually free. It essentially represents the end to slavery in the US !! Although the actual emancipation proclamation by Lincoln was issued like 2 years prior in in January, but the enslaved people of Galveston weren't informed until 1865, so that's why Juneteenth is so important to Black people yk !! :D

Some one mind explaining wtf June the Tenth is

; plus imagine being like years in the future sitting in your home trying to follow a recipe younger you wrote and js laughing at how different your handwriting is now. How different you wrote and spoke through literature, how differently you documented your recipes and dammit you didn't list how many eggs to use, forgetful fuck .. And you're there wondering where all the time went, almost sad that you're older now. Then you remember it was spent living and enjoying your life; even if it wasn't always the happiest, maybe it wasn't the life people expect to bring joy. But it did, you're there today baking from a recipe book you started writing young, and you're alive because life doesn't have to have some super secret meaning or value to matter. It can be as simple as you're alive, why not live while you can ? Not everything has to be complex and confusing to be unknown, so why does something have to be complex and sad to matter ? Back to baking those brownies now !!

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.

; the sheer confusion in the reblogs and replies is making me giggle so hard you don't understand /lh
