As a (cis) bisexual dude, i can relate to feeling like the "third wheel" in queer discourse, and it sucks. To all the transmascs out there, you're valid, and don't let the bastards get you down.

Thank you 💜

🙏 thank you! I feel like as a nonbinary AFAB, so much is left to fending for yourself. It's especially hard when some transfems reject masculinity so much that they hurt and dismiss any transmasc's feeling and experiences. We deserve community and safe spaces just as much as others.

THANK YOU

Being constantly demonized by the queer community at large for being trans masc has been doing more numbers at my mental than random transphobia from bigots. Damned if you are damned if you aren't is the case with this one.

In addition can we also give a shout out to nonbinary people. I feel both Transmasc and nonbinary people get the raw end of the stick in the trans community in general. And both get dragged through the mud. Just my 2 cents on the topic.

if anyone gives you shit

*hands you one tactical nozomi launcher*

You know what to do.

it genuinely makes me sad to see us be erased, especially because we already experience systematic erasure by cisgender society at large. it's painfully ironic that a day of all trans visibility is the one where transmascs and men are the most invisible.

Oh cool it’s not just me 🧍

this seems not very aligned to my experiences, i can and will talk about it because i was in a similar situation to you and felt the same way. from what i've experienced, there's no such thing as a "trans community," there are little cliques that sometimes meet up🫶

I very much noticed that during my own gender journey. I still had my facial hair and I dressed masc, but I was treated like I was invading the space, and it got so bad that I was feeling guilty and shaming myself for being in such spaces.

i always thought i was being miserable and "taking up too much space" for thinking this way before i realized that was a leftover of my upbringing. the need to be unobtrusive and defer my feelings for the feelings of others was part of teaching me to be "ladylike" :/

Not only left out, but actively rejected and made invisible.

I relate to this as I still struggle with the feeling of imposter syndrome about being in trans spaces at all. Even being on estrogen for two years now I still get this feeling of I’m intruding into these spaces…

You're a big huge W 💗💗💗💗

Thank you.

💯

Transmasc people are getting hit with the same waves of mysandry that cis/enby men regularly deal with (because cis/enby men don't have feelings amirite (sarcasm))
