Transgender Men - Tumblr Posts

Thanks. I was just at therapy and having tons of doubts. Really don't like that she had said that when me referring to pronouns, how I prefer he/they, and she asked if she had thought that I thought that she/her makes me feel weak. I said no, and also. "By the record, I don't think women are weak. I thought that I should make that clear." And there are still things that make me feel giddy and maybe even "girly" but I ebb and flow with these feelings. Men and trans masculine people are and should be allowed to show emotions.

Idk what trans man needs to hear this but you're NOT evil or disgusting for being a man. You do NOT have to suffer for the sins of the patriarchy committed by cis dudes. Being a man doesn't invalidate the misogyny you experienced growing up or experience now. Being a man doesn't mean you deserve to be isolated. Being a man doesn't mean you're inherently predatory or scary. You didn't "choose" this, and finding your true self is NOT "betraying the community" because you happen to be a man and/or masculine rather than a woman and/or feminine. You ARE allowed to be upset when people "affirm" your gender by malgendering you.

You DO deserve a community that uplifts you. You DO deserve to experience trans joy. You DO deserve to have your voices heard and your struggles recognized. Wanting the bare minimum of solidarity is NOT "making everything about trans men".
