i feel like every time trans ppl try to get even a little less gnc there are like 50 people crying that we’re “ruining trans people’s reputations” like it even matters atp
I personally use tumblr as my primary social media, I couldn't imagine being popular on there because everytime something leaves my circle of close friends you get weird and rancid takes
Trans people don't owe anyone any level of transition. We can be whoever we are, and we don't have to explain it. Your art rocks, and I'm glad you haven't let freaks online stop you from expressing yourself.
I have never heard of you before but reading this I heard you drew Trans Men in a way tumblr prople didn't like which meant it was awesome, I am now looking
Just know that your work is appreciated by those that can see the beauty in it. I was raised by a transman, he didn't give birth to me the situation is complicated, but uh, I've always had love for my fellow queer people, and care very much about the well-being of my trans siblings.
tumblr on one hand: i'm autismgender
tumblr on the other hand: if you're a trans man and show an ounce of femininity i personally hope you d*e bc youre the reason cis people hate us.
that's why i stopped using it, they seem to go so far left they end up going right and become hateful
i should clarify that i'm not shitting on people who identify as autismgender — i'm just pointing out that they'll accept something that's way more niche than trans dudes having feminine features. it doesn't make sense to accept one and exclude the other.
surely nothing harmful can come out of the mindset that trans guys need to be 100% macho men and must do every transition technique ever made to be "real men". suuuurely nothing harmful.....
oh yes, nothing at all... but like don't look at the shocking amount of trans men who scream at their partners (sometimes worse) because they're internalising the whole macho men don't have emotions they need to talk about the same way many cis guys do, idk how that got in here.
but it definitely wasn't telling them to man up. nope.
but for real tho - i didn't date and didn't get to extremes in that part of my life, but i definitely was more angry before i accepted crying and showing emotions didn't make me "less masculine".
to be 10000000% fair, i don't think everyone saying that is also against your art
that said, the people who are saying both things (and even just the people disliking your art for bullshit reasons) are complete hypocrites and assholes, and i'm absurdly sorry you have to deal with any of that shit 🫂🫂
"We need more weird queers" but they just mean ppl that dress kinda weird. Anything more than that and they lose their minds and start writing callout posts and GOD FORBID if you use a niche sexuality label or express your gender too weirdly
maybe it's cause I've just been seeing your work around for a while; if there's homies that think you're too weird of a queer for them I'd honestly tell them get good at this rate. You're a daily dose of delight on my dash and do some really phenomenal work.
Oh dear, based on these comments, maybe I shouldn’t have made an account on there as part of my migration lol. I haven’t witnessed or recieved any hate yet but… yikes.
this is kinda why i left tumblr? (or stopped using it really) people just got too fucking loud about stuff that wasn't an issue. too many fucking mind numbing discussions about "should this be allowed???" and its just some fucking guy standing there being themselves. idk man.
whenever i see lgbtq+ discourse over something that shouldn't fucking matter (aka someone just calling themselves something that makes them feel comfortable, someone dressing a certain way, etc etc) i have to chant "queer people irl don't do this" to keep my sanity like a mantra
Seeing art of trans men w boobs is so reaffirming. Idk, my tits aren’t that big and I like when they’re touched and im a fat dude so it isn’t that deep for me. I thought I wanted top surgery but I think I wanted to conform to societies standards
If its a pick-me-up , I follow you FOR the way you draw trans-men. Its been really cool seing an often unrepresented depiction of trans-men, and its opened my perspective on them a lot!
Thank you for remembering that gender is just what we are <3

some dudes have bazoingas . some dudes even LIKE their bazoingas . get over it
like at what point are we just punishing trans kids for drawing trans people who are "too gnc"?
