Never Felt More Confident In Myself Than I Do When I Read Forcemasc Stuff - Tumblr Posts

People who get hung up on the fact that forcemasc sometimes focuses on the destruction of femininity don't understand that trans men and butches do not find femininity liberating. We're told our entire life to shut up and close our legs. We're punished for living as our authentic selves and rewarded for putting up a facade. For what? For the comfort and perceived safety of others. At best, we're told that who we really are should be kept behind closed doors, away from the public eye, away from impressionable "women" and children who might want what we have!
For me, femininity is oppression. It is a cage. Masculinity is freedom. It's my freedom. I'm a man and I deserve it. I need a partner who understands that.

never felt more confident in myself than I do when I read forcemasc stuff
I’m glad that some people feel liberated in femininity
my buddy is also a transman and he LOVES being able to wear dresses and skirts still!
and I love that for him!
but me?
I’ve found my most consistent confidence in rereading forcemasc stuff
in destroying the concept of femininity within myself
‘men don’t x’ and ‘men do y’ has been a confidence booster
I don’t need to shrink myself or try to hide and take up less space in public
after all men don’t care about being as convenient as possible for everyone
men take up space and dammit I will too
just… forcemasc is so liberating for me personally and I’m so glad I found it
