Any enby/transmasc poets out there, let your voice be heard ! :)

🏳️‍⚧️ Transgender men and non binary people who identify as masculine. This post is for you.

Let’s come together and ink 🖋️ our truths.

📣📣📣

Calling all trans masculine verse alchemists who navigate the spectrum of manhood, the nuances of identity, the weightlessness of freedom, and the power of self-discovery through verse. As a fellow traveler on this self-guided path, I'm envisioning a collaborative collection a ebook where we can lay down the raw, unfiltered poetry that emerges from our unique experiences.

⚧️⚧️⚧️

Let’s share the quiet moments of self-recognition to the bold declarations of identity, from the joys of affirmation to the battles fought and won. We can craft a tapestry of trans masculine lives in ink. A brand new collaboration and fresh project, not a part of my minority based project “voices for the Voiceless”. If your poetic voice resonates with the multifaceted reality of being a trans guy, and you're ready to forge something powerful and authentic together, connect with me at

or any of my social platforms. Like here!

Let's make this collection a testament to our strength and our stories. Non-binary people who identify as masculine also are welcome.

Much love 🖤

Hey, I saw your post about punk recommendations for an emo metalhead, and I’m not a member of that tumblr community so I couldn’t comment. But as someone who enjoys emo, punk, and metal I think you’d like Jeff Rosenstock and associated works (Bomb the Music Industry, Arrogant Sons of Bitches, etc)

Hi, thank you so much ! Greatly appreciate the recommendations :)

Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

Petition: Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treate

Well fucks? Get to it!

Bit telling that for years and years evangelical religious extremists have been allowed on university campuses with their bullhorns and horrific imagery where they harass students into physical altercations and when students complain to the university’s administration they just shrug their shoulders citing freedom of speech but when those same tuition-paying students start protesting against war and genocide they call SWAT

Me: how do I study as a neurodivergent person?

Google: how to help your autistic child study

Me: how to study as an autistic adult/teen

Me: how to study as a neurodivergent adult, tips from neurodivergent person to neurodivergent students, on how to study independently as an autistic person, no reliant support needed

Google: high functioning autism and school

Me: fuck just. How do I focus during this test that I'm in rn as an AuDHD person

Google: ok, so, to focus on this thing that you currently are doing and need to get done TODAY; weeks before the test you'll need to eat healthy and exercise, meditate, study, set timers, take breaks, drink water, sleep, find the secrets to a happy life, adopt five children, sacrifice a goat, take short showers, brush your teeth

The sad reality of what our human race has become

“money can’t buy happiness” wrong, actually. 100% incorrect. No shit post, genuinely and truly mean that in modern society, money ABSOLUTELY buys happiness. Because money buys LIFE, and before you can be happy you have to be alive.

LITERALLYYYYYY

I think my autism may be part of the reason I’m an anarchist. So much of our lives today are just societal constructs and I don’t like or believe in them cause I genuinely don’t understand the need. For example, money. Why does it have the value it does? Why do certain metals have the value they do? Why is the exchange rate like that? If inflation is as bad as it is why don’t we just stop it and keep prices the same? That last question is usually met with responses about supply and demand. Bitch I know all about supply and demand. But we literally made up the system we can change it if we want or need to. Supply and demand doesn’t mean shit when it’s literally made up. It’s not some natural law or something. We made it up

If everybody just started stealing, money would finally lose its worth

"I wish we met sooner" is such a gentle sentiment. I love you so much I not only want you in my future, but in my past too. I want to have known you when we were small stupid kids, have held hands together as we played outside. I want to have stressed out over exams together, nudging a mug of still steaming hot chocolate against your elbow to get you to focus. I want to have told you I love you before I did anyone else. I want to have held you in my arms when all those sad memories you describe to me were still fresh wounds. I want my past to have been full of you, and full of meaningful memories with you. I want my past lives to have been spent with you, whether as two lovers, or two housecats cuddling by the fireplace on a snowy day, or two flowers that just happened to bloom on the same day, next to each other. I want to have consumed your existence and intertwined it with my own since my birth, never to be separated from you for a moment. I want to have loved you throughout it all, for all time.

PSA for Switch owners

The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.

To turn it off

go to the eShop

go to your profile where your funds and account info is

go down to the bottom of the page

there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”

select the Change

select “Don’t Share”

Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.

Is it weird i started to feel more comfortable being feminine after realizing i was a trans guy?

NOPE!!! NOT WEIRD AT ALL THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME

when i sat out to transition, i had a few things in mind. i knew that i needed my voice and body to be different. i knew that i was not a cis woman. however, i was still drawn to femininity. at the time i was awakening as a gay man and i realized that i had a feminine side, but it had nothing to do with womanhood. absolutely nothing. to me, my femininity is part of my manhood, and my genderqueerness, not my womanhood.

i transitioned partially so i could feel comfortable being and dressing feminine! i actually told people that during the beginning stages of my transition, that i was excited to masculinize myself so i could be femme without dysphoria. being seen as a feminine cis woman was utterly painful, but living as a femme gay man... that was liberating. i finally felt so many pieces of myself click into place.

you are NOT alone in this, i hear this experience a lot from other trans men, and ive actually heard the opposite from tons of trans women- that after transitioning into womanhood, they felt a lot more comfortable in their masculinity. feminine doesn't mean woman. masculine doesn't mean man. it's okay if you find that femininity is now much more comfortable and enjoyable after realizing you were a guy. being a feminine man is a beautiful experience

i hope that helps! feel free to ask any more questions you may have! you're definitely not alone and it's not weird at all!

Never understood this 😭

I’m still mad about something that happened on tiktok last week and I want to do a post about it and explain an aspect of transphobia I’ve observed.

A cis user made a video asking that trans people share more banger music that they make, but clarified saying “by trans people, I mean trans women” because trans men only make that “sad ukulele” music. There was much discourse, he doubled down and said trans men couldn’t take a joke, other trans people threw the offended transmascs under the bus, or insisted that they can also make club music, yada yada.

I want to know if the queers who haven’t been queer as long as I have know that this exact drama was had with gays and lesbians. Do you know that some transphobia is repackaged homophobia and lesbophobia? I feel like that’s something we should be allowed to say and examine without someone shutting you down and insisting you’re conflating the gays and transes.

But yeah, for decades the joke has been that gay men are the fun flamboyant ones that make good art and dance music, and that lesbians are angry and dress ugly and make sad folk music. It’s pretty much an identical bias and resulting disrespectful jokes.

And it’s shit! I’m not going to let anyone, let alone a cis person, get away with transphobia just because it’s directed at trans men. It’s rude and harmful to devalue our art, and our art doesn’t need to be easily consumable to you. We’re allowed to be pissed and offended when you write us off, minimize the harm you’ve done, and exclude us from the conversation. It’s obvious when you only tolerate the queers who can serve you, and that you don’t actually care to listen or learn about our lives, struggles, and art.
