Trans Poc - Tumblr Posts
I did the Asian/disabled addition to this post because I'm asian-english and disabled :)
As a brown trans boy it sucked so badly to watch those “gender envy” slides on tik tok and see only white boys with fluffy hair. It was a little thing but it made me feel invisible even in my own community. So these are men that look like me and give me gender envy. If you’re POC disabled/ don’t see your self in common trans discussions feel free to add on.
I love you genderfluid POC!
I love you Black genderfluid people!
I love you Indigenous genderfluid people!
I love you Asian genderfluid people!
I love you Hispanic genderfluid people!
I love you Latino genderfluid people!
I love you mixed genderfluid people!
You don't get nearly enough appreciation or representation, but you deserve it! You're valid and an important part of this community, thank you for existing🫶
if you are a person of color and are struggling to understand or express your own gender because you do not and/or cannot conform to white beauty & gender standards you're not alone and you do not have to warp yourself to suit someone else's narrative- every culture on this planet has their own relationship with biological sex & gender and you do not have to mold yourself to suit gender roles that literally just don't exist in your cultures, or don't make sense to you
you do not have to try to change your face, hair or body to match standards that don't apply to you. you are allowed to approach gender in your own way, in whatever ways make sense to you. it's your life, your gender, your culture, your expression. you don't have to screw yourself over like that. good luck in finding the real you, you'll find them
Real. And that hit me 2× harder cuz I don't wanna present masc or fem. I don't wanna have a feminizing hrt or masculinizing hrt. I wanna be androgynous. I wanna look bodily androgynous, because that will get me euphoria from any gender expression.
But the thing is: I'm an black indigenous person. And androgyny is held on a white eurocentric standard, which is inaccessible for me. And then, mfers go: “but you don't need androgyny, you don't owe it to anyone 🥺” I know???? Bitch, it's fucking easy for you to say, you white, if you want you have all the possibility to go, while I don't! /nbh
Ugh...
Can white queers please try to understand that many queer poc are perceived SO much differently when it comes to gender expression? People with darker skin are automatically viewed as masculine and asians primarily SEA and lighter skinned asians are automatically viewed as feminine regardless of how they actually present, which makes actually trying to present a certain way 10x harder. You are either viewed as “just the default anyways” or it gets way harder to look “the opposite” so your presentation needs to be 10x extra when white queers can have it so much easier presenting themselves in almost the exact same way.
Please. I can’t speak for everyone but it pisses me off to be called something I’m not just due to my race.
STOP. THINK. Would you still refer to this person as fem/masc if they were white? Does their culture actually warrant this difference in thinking? If both are no, rethink WHY you view this person the way you do. You can squash something potentially harmful.
(sorry for being inactive, the inbox has been empty for a while and I’ve been super busy and overall too drained to post much 💧 but this has been on my mind)

I adore being trans. I adore being queer. This is who I am!
Aw man there goes my weekend plans of exploding for no reason./j
If you're a trans POC please stay alive!!
Even if it seems like the whole world is against you, I promise there are people out there who care about you. One day there will be a world where we can live freely.

Random things that make me feel euphoric as a trans guy:
- Basket ball shorts. IDK MAN ITS JUST LIKE “yea, this feels right”
- Hats, like. Baseball caps. They make me so happy and I also think I kinda look good too ^^
- My glasses. They shape my face so well and distracts from my feminine features
- Growing out my nails and hair. It just makes me feel so much more masculine! (Even though I have a nail biting problem 🥲)
- Online friends. The fact that they know or don’t know my deadname and still call me my preferred name, is just pure joy.
- Energy drinks. I have no explanation for this one idk 🤷🏽
- Watching “boys shows”. Ik it’s super stereotypical but yea.
Do what you will with this information, I just really wanted to share. Maybe share some things that make u feel euphoric too! (Sorry this isn’t my usual post, I’m just in a mood 💀)
