Trans tips #3!

I feel like this is said over and over and over but I wouldn't be a good Trans Teacher unless I reminded you to Please Practice Safe Transing!

(I don't know how else to word this)

If you wear Tape! Don't tape your Nips! If you do, get pasties or something! Use proper tape! Not duct tape or packing tape / ect.! Take care of your skin! Use baby diaper wash cream and let your skin heal before you tape again! Do Not Rip Your Skin Off For The Sake Of Taping!!!

If you Bind! Even if it's exceptionally tight sports bras! TAKE! THOSE! FUCKERS! OFF!

You should spend at LEAST an hour outside of binders for every 2 hours you spend binding! That's just half the time! Take it tf off!!! The next post will be about rewording how you think you talk to yourself so look out for that!

DO NOT SLEEP OR EXCORCISE WHILE BINDING!!!

Drink lots of water! Stay hydrated! Tea or Coffee is not Water!!! Yes it contains water! But buddy, you body needs pure, unflavored, no additives water to help flush your kidneys and your system!

I know your dysphoric, please don't wear your hoodie or jacket if you are Too Hot! If it's warm enough to the point that you are sweating! Don't wear your hoodies and jackets!!! Please!!!!!

Take your other medicines and eat foods! It helps your meds work and your body work and your mind work and for the love of Fuck eat something!!!

my favourite thing about before and after transition photos is the "before" photo feels like emotionally washed out even if the subject is doing the photo smile you can feel the discomfort through the image versus the "after" photo where they look like the sun is shining, birds are singing, the world is so beautiful and it's wonderful to be alive. life is worth living!!! & it's worth living because we get to be transgender. love you all <3 <3 <3

are you autistic and gay?

lesbian and autistic perhaps?

an autistic pan or bisexual?

asexual and autistic?

well guess what...

you're fucken great and I love you

the world is a better place with trans men and transmasc people in it

please

Trans tips #6

YOU DO NOT NEED TO INFANTISE YOURSELF TO BE MORE PALETABLE TO OTHERS

you don't need to infantile yourself

You don't need to be palatable

You don't need to conform to others views and opinions

You don't need to infantise yourself to be more palatable

You don't need to infantise yourself for others

You don't need to be palatable for others

This one is kind of a rant so whatever BUT

I SEE THIS SO OFTEN IT MAKES ME WANT TO GO FERAL

There was this great trans influencer on tiktok, he went by Mars, had all the surgeries, talked about his experiences, had a clothing brand, interacted with fans, allllll the good shit an influencer can do...right? RIGHT!!

I loved his, he's one of the first influencers that made me question my gender identity, made me do my own research and ask myself questions and start to realize that I, too, might be Trans

Fuckin love that guy! He's great!

But you know what's one thing that made me cringe away from him! HE INFANTISED HIMSELF SO MUCH

This goes for trans women and men, you don't need to make yourself look like a meek lil defenseless thing to be palatable to others! PLEASE

He called himself a boy ALL. THE. TIME even though he's a full ass man with a beard and body hair and age and wisdom he call himself a little boy!

He got the testosterone jelly but he called it his "boy goo" STOP IT

He stood slouched and pitched his voice up for the camera and tried to make himself sound and appear as meek and whimpy and vulnerable as he could! Just in the way he carried himself in his videos!! And it INFURIATES ME BEYOND BELIEF!!!!!!!

DONT INFANTISE YOURSELF

It's testosterone jelly, not "boy goo" even "man goo" or "man slime" if you still wanted a stupid lil name for it just ANYTHING BUT BOY GOO also that just sounds weird to begin with!!!

Your a MAN not a BOY unless you are the AGE of a BOY you are a MANNNN

Same with trans women!!!! You are not a GIRL you are a WOMAN unless you are the AGE of a GIRL you are a WOMANNNNNN

And I get it, you don't wanna be that big intimidating trans person coming in public restrooms like what the media says is evil and blah blah blah

But your fucking NOT

INFANTISING YOURSELF IS TRANS ERASURE

We are not meant to hide in the shadows or be in the back of the classroom or anything like that! Be proud about who you are! Square your shoulders! Chin up! Pick up your feet! Walk with confidence! PLEASE

End of rant but I just needed to get that out of my system

Also i have a rant about trans people sexualizing themselves but that's a different rant for another day!

Little update:

I have a new PFP, it's the closest approximation I can get to what I look like in real life (only exception being the beard, but i want it so canonically I have it)

So there you have it! If my moots have been wondering what I look like, now you know!

*Expanded image under the cut*

I can't believe "trans men face oppression for their gender identity" is a controversial take now in the year of our Lord 2024 but here we are ig

Like/reblog if you think that you don't need to medically transition to be transgender
