Oh. On the topic of transmasc stuff, I’ve got an appointment soon to discuss birth control options for me!
I’m super excited because my periods are my biggest cause of dysphoria and for the longest time I was worried I couldn’t go on birth control due to the fact that I’m intersex.
So, woohoo!! Genuinely!!
Not to get into community discourse, but I’d like to share a point.
Mind you, I have seen multiple sides to this “debate” as I like to have rounded knowledge before I say my piece, about ANYTHING political or discourse-y.
The statement I’ve seen again and again, in multiple places, is the sentiment that there aren’t bills directly targeting transmascs, or hatred directed specifically at transmascs, or anything else under that umbrella directed at transmascs.
Obviously there have been a lot of good counters to these statements, and I’m not going to repeat something that’s been said better or more eloquently by others.
However, I have yet to see anyone talking about something that, in my opinion, really should be referenced more.
The concept of “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” (ROGD).
ROGD as a concept was legitimately created to theorize why, all of a sudden, transmascs were coming out and attempting to transition.
Rather than acknowledging the blatant truth- tranness, to these people, was limited to AMABs, and even then, for the longest time “trans healthcare” for ANY trans person was just discouraging transition altogether- they decided to make up a narrative that suited their needs.
That their precious “daughters” were falling victim to a new disorder. Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.
Rather than help their sons feel comfortable in their own bodies, masses of parents flocked to this idea. Politicians flocked to this idea, and used it as a BASIS for many anti-trans bills.
Need I cite the hopefully infamous book? “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters”? The INFAMOUS book written elaborating this idea? The book used as evidence for countless transphobic bills?
That one concept (which, by the way, ROGD has been discredited by NUMEROUS health organizations worldwide, just in case I needed to clarify that) led to COUNTLESS transmascs facing abuses at home, in school, and elsewhere.
IDK, just food for thought. I think it’s odd that, in all my searching and read throughs of this discourse, NOBODY has mentioned this, even though it’s a pretty good example of transmasc specific oppression.
reposting for those that might be interested!
Now seeking trans men & transmascs for a study on chronic pelvic pain
I (they/them, nb) am NOW RECRUITING for a research study! - Transgender Men & Transmasculine Individuals (assigned female at birth, but identify as a gender identity other than "woman") who experience chronic pelvic pain. Must be 18 years or older, fluent in English, and live in the US. Your answers are anonymous.
Chronic pelvic pain is a pain that is present in the lower abdomen or pelvis that has been present for 6 or more weeks. Chronic pelvic pain may be experienced more frequently by transgender men, transmasculine, or non-cisgender women than cisgender women, yet it is understudied. Because it is understudied, clinicians may not know how to best treat chronic pelvic pain when the patient is transmasculine. The cause of this pain is also generally unknown, as are the factors that may make it better or worse for a patient. Therefore, this study hopes to better understand what chronic pelvic pain is like for transgender men and transmasculine people, and how they prefer their care is approached when they seek medical care for chronic pelvic pain.
Participation in this one-time study is expected to take about 30 minutes of your time. There is a link for a raffle.

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".
the effects are just daft punk lmao

yo, fellow trans people, I’ve got a question-
Is this alr to give to my mom so i can come out??? Should I change it up or-
She is supportive but she also thinks im also sorta young :/
For those who can’t read my messy handwriting, it says:
Hey mom, I need to tell you something.
I’m transgender.
I use he/they.
My new name is Royce.
I’ve been doing quite a bit of thinking, and I’m pretty sure I’m male-aligning (non-binary, enby, demiboy, etc.)
Please don’t tell me I’m too young. I wouldn’t know if I was too young.
IM FINALLY ON TESTOSTERONE!!! YEEEESSSSSS!!!!
whenever i look into cultural/historical third genders my first question is always "okay but where are the people who were assigned female" and my second is "if they aren't being named, why is that?"
Harry looked so sad in the sketches... so i wanted to cheer him up a bit and made Kim comfort him :'>
I'm experimenting with shapes and my "simpler" style a bit, so lemme know what you think about that
I think they look absolutely cute and squishy now!
Touch my mind and you’ll get my body.💕💕
how did i go from cis to demigirl to nonbinary to transmasc
Introduction
Hello!
My name's Aven (pronounced uh-ven), I'm aroace and transmasc.
I'm a writer, but I mostly write in my native language (Polish), so I won't be posting any of my works anytime soon. I might still talk about them, though!
I love poetry, anime and manga. My favorites are Sousou no Frieren (anime) and Bloom Into You (manga).
This blog is a safe space for LGBTQ+ people. I won't tolerate any form of discrimination in the comments.
@aven-main will be mostly used for personal stuff. For reblogs, check out @not-ay-vin.
Peace out!
genuinely have had numerous people tell me that as a trans man i'm "a men's rights activist invading trans spaces".
so many people legitimately do not see trans men as trans.
i need people to understand that so many people for some reason have the idea that trans = feminine or woman. it's a real issue.
how are trans men invading trans spaces? this is where we live. and of course we're gonna advocate for our own rights. why wouldn't we? we don't exist to self flagellate because the idea of transsexual and transgender manhood and masculinity frightens you. i'm a trans man. i'm trans. i'm not invading my own community.
Random thought I've been having for a while now but I'd love to experience the covid lockdowns all over again but as cis.
Like instead of crying over how this means my hrt will get post poned for two more years, I could spend all my days playing videogames and jacking off and generally chilling around, all while you're actually obligated to do so.
Yes I know that all the stuff covid has done is terrible both regarding the disease itself, and the cultural, political, and economic impact it had, but, 16 year old me could've hardly known about that, much less care
I'm going to SCREAM why are trans people so mean towards other trans people? I could genuinely pour my heart out about how the trans healthcare system quite literally traumatized me and I'll get a bunch of people like "errrrrr that didn't happen me, you're probably just making it worse in your head, just answer honest to the doctors and everything will go to plan" WHAT
I want to be supportive of women and girls getting to be their masculine self nowadays but it's really hard because I'll always be a bit resentful and salty about the fact I wasn't even allowed stuff like the Cars movies and playing with hotwheels. Telling my family I wanted to shave my head partially is probably my first gender related traumatic event.
Maybe I'm wrong for feeling that way, but I can't help but feel a lot of mixed emotions when seeing women, and especially little girls nowadays, get to be happily masculine as kids/teens or even young adults.
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.

How Many Ways To Say
How many ways
Can there possibly be
To tell you how I feel
Again and again?
I’m running out of words
Someone wind me up again
I’m so tired, I’m so tired
Of looking at the pages
That are my sole escape
My mind is buzzing
With things I wish I had the courage to say.
And I’m still wondering now
How many ways
Can there possibly be
To say how I’m not normal?
How many times
Must I scream
I am not a daughter
Before I’m finally told
That nobody wants to hear it?
Stop lying to me
Stop telling me you understand
Because I’m so tired
Of this body
And the way it’s winding down
I’m running out of words
Someone please tell me
How many ways
Can there possibly be
To tell you I’m not ok?
And now you’ve scared me
Now I’m silenced
And yet you think it’s fine
I’m not ok, I’m not alright!
Someone tell me that’s ok
Someone tell me I’m not a freak
Even if I don’t believe
How many ways
Can there possibly be
To say I’m so damn tired?
I am nothing, I am nothing
I am not your daughter
I’ve never been but now I wonder
How many ways
Can there possibly be
For you to say
You don’t care?
Cause I’m running out of air
And I’m running out of words
Someone wind me up again
How many ways
Are there to say
That I am not your daughter?

”trans men are the weakest links of the trans community” my trans male friends and I have lived a lifetime of having our bodily autonomy stripped away to the point of sexual harassment. people talk about our bodies like everyone except us owns them because no one can handle the idea of precious female bodies being “mutilated” by gender affirming care. we are treated like traitors by women and as confused, silly girls by men. we have no spaces in which we belong because even the queer community tries to control our bodies. if we pass as men then we get ousted from queer-friendly spaces, and if we don’t pass as men we’re treated like cringe, theyfab trenders. everything we love is considered annoying. we’re called ugly and sad and “what a shame you guys are men haha”. We have to watch as society uses us as an excuse to ban gender affirming care for young people because our bodies belong to the government, because our bodies belong to our mothers, and because our anatomy is the only thing they see us as. And then we have to sit back as the trans community blames us for these bans. “All of these fake transtrenders are the reason they all hate us” when we’re busy having the women in our lives scrutinise our bodies to make sure we’re not being “infected” by the trans contagion. There’s no space we can belong in. No space that tries to make us feel welcome because either they treat us like women or they treat us like dangerous, cis men.
Every trans man I know has been sexually assaulted. Every trans man I know has been brought to suicide attempts, either due to their families or due to people online bullying them to death. Our struggles are constantly diminished and yet behind the scenes we’re fucking exhausted from fighting attacks from every single goddamn side. How fucking dare you call us weak. We’re going through fucking hell like every other goddamn trans person out there and our bodies are being abused and controlled and scrutinised every day of our fucking lives. Have you seen how TERFs talk about our bodies? How they lament us “mutilating” our breasts, our fertility, our anatomy, all in the name of feminism. That’s sexual fucking harassment, and it’s disgusting. But that’s all they fucking see us as. We’re not human, we’re just defected specimens. Cis women give themselves free passes to harass our bodies because they see us as “one of them”. One of them, but wrong. One of them, but need to be fixed. My mother regularly checks my chest to make sure I’m not trying to flatten it, and she can get away with it because “that’s what mothers do to their daughters.” Even when I’m not her daughter. Even when I’m screaming at the top of my lungs wanting to die because my body doesn’t belong to me. My body stopped belonging to me as soon as I came out as trans, because female empowerment doesn’t apply to me anymore. Female empowerment is now about “correcting” me, to restore my body back to its former glory, because only then was I worth something.
We are not weak. We are strong as fuck for dealing with the shit we have to deal with. And the worst part is, so much of the bullying comes from other trans men. We’ve been taught to hate ourselves so much that the only way to get ahead is to put down our own brothers and treat them in the way we’ve been treated.
There is no weak link of the community because we’re all dealing with absolute shit from all sides, but don’t you ever suggest that trans men are somehow the whiny babies who have nothing to complain about when we’re constantly holding back from screaming our guts out because there’s nothing else we can do.
Hey yall, I would really appreciate if you could share this fundraiser around. My girlfriend and I are t4t, I am several years into my transition and she is just starting hers. We desperately need to leave Texas, and move to a trans sanctuary state when our lease is over, as it is becoming increasingly unsafe for us to stay here. Its going to be hard for us to save up enough, so anything helps. Thanks in advance.
I will continue to spread trans man p.ai.nter propaganda until all the crypto miners from his systems are removed
