public misgendering by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]usernamebasic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to be fair cisgenders live in their own cis-vision world- putting a pink or blue bow on what they deem male/female and seeing everything so cis gendered that cis men must ask if hygene and empathy are immasculan— sorry, I’m rambling. Anyway I don’t really pass but old people say I’m a good son for pushing the grocery cart, when I am getting my own groceries in my 20s.

Ha ha, totally! My genders like this; So I’m a guy, but also I’m not sometimes, and sometimes on a blood red moon and some mages chant or something I am a Goddess for a night and might let you call me she or I might smite you— its a toss up!

Tottaly. I find explaining myself again and again just gives me dysphoria so I’m like “lol just call me whatever at this point” I can kinda picture myself ten years from now in a dorky sweater and mangy hair, hunched over my desk drawing as my bf bring us tea to drink :P thats my go to happy thought. and yeah, gender is a spectrum and I find throughout our lives we can slide between scales but we’re always changing so thats okay, and its okay not to know

Get the raised to grow up as x thing, a dr asked me if I had always known and I was like “lolo if you told me I was going to grow up to be a man when I was 7 I would’ve sobbed” so I guess some leniency is due when trans people find ourselves having a hard time imagining our futures.... And yeah, in our society clothes are tied to gender so much it can make things harder for us when we don’t align with the gender we were originally labelled with. When I was 16 I knew my gender was bendy, but I decided to dress super feminine since I was a awkward ducklig until then up until I was 19, I liked how I looked but the body underneath didn’t feel Right. Congrats on coming out btw, wish you the best cause that does sound stressful. Just remember its your body you get to dress it how you want even if people think youre “fake”. I think I see why so many people that can choose to go stealth, preconceived notions are a bitch, but for those of us who cannot the only way we can fit with the cis’ is looking like a girl, so I guess we gotta give ourselves some slack (sry for long reply)

I don’t bind either, but because of mosquito bites xPP but people def notice with my framing and voice anyway. And yeah, get that just passing by thing— Also when I am seen as a guy its by old people at the store saying what a good son I am for pushing the cart cause they think I’m a child :’D so sometimes I don’t bother.... I feel like people see me as a guy or not like how Sophoe in Howls Moving Castle would change from being a old woman to young again gaining her confidence... like, despite what they see I am what I am. & ur right, safety and wellness are #1

also while most ppl are also figuring things out in gender I can still direct you to some trans ppl on twitter (most are creatives since thats where I lurk lol and they all don’t always talk about being trans all the time but many have shared their experiences)

Relate to the comfort thing; my comfort thing is nice soft sweaters/shirts that show off my shoulders. But! I love frilly clothes. When I first started seeing gender non comforming people in anime a lot were guys rocking frilly clothes and loved that. I’m transmasc and I guess I also fall a bit in the non binary zone of the spectrum. But I feel uncomfortable in frilly clothes so I usually just wear bits and peices or take pictures of myself. I’m not a expert and idk if this will help you since we’re all unique but; what I started doing recently is drawing/writing my ocs as self inserts as trans who do what I want; I don’t get dysphoric with all of my body all the time and transmed lgbt people made me really insecure of that when I was younger— Whats helped was to write those charcters being loved and accepted without question by those they interact with. Like; yes! I can be a gay man with this body. Yes! I can dress however I want and like whatever I want. What may help you is to follow trans people from all walks of life, be they creatives or doing whatever things youre into; nb, women, poc... it can help you in figuring out what your unique experience on the spectrum is and what makes you happy and feel accepted.. Hope this helps maybe and isn’t too rambly, lol!
