Male tits and girl dicks are NORMAL they are 100% normal to me and not just in a sex way but also like, if you are ftm and wanna chill with your boobs out no bra/binder or are mtf and wanna chill in boxers or underwear with a bulge why the hell not? It’s just body parts ya know.

Why does it have to be inherently sexualized by people? If you DO find it sexy that’s ok but I’m referring to transphobes who treat trans peoples bodies as some kind of… “scary”thing

trans bodies are either fetishized or deemed disgusting and in neither of which do the people doing it recognize the trans person as a human being deserving of equal respect and i think thats the core problem. lack of respect

zombie-dyke

in a way its kind of a similar problem with fat bodies. theyre either fetishized/sexualized or treated as gross or unhealthy. post-op trans bodies are also treated as gross and unhealthy (trans mens' especially) by a lot of people. and post op/treatment trans womens bodies are fetishized a lot. just treat people normal pretty please

"There are old poops who will say that you do not become a grown-up until you have somehow survived, as they have, some famous calamity -- the Great Depression, the Second World War, Vietnam, whatever. Storytellers are responsible for this destructive, not to say suicidal, myth. Again and again in stories, after some terrible mess, the character is able to say at last, 'Today I am a woman. Today I am a man. The end.'

When I got home from the Second World War, my Uncle Dan clapped me on the back, and he said, 'You're a man now.' So I killed him. Not really, but I certainly felt like doing it.

Dan, that was my bad uncle, who said a male can't be a man unless he'd gone to war.

But I had a good uncle, my late Uncle Alex. He was my father's kid brother, a childless graduate of Harvard who was an honest life-insurance salesman in Indianapolis. He was well-read and wise. And his principal complaint about other human beings was that they so seldom noticed it when they were happy. So when we were drinking lemonade under an apple tree in the summer, say, and talking lazily about this and that, almost buzzing like honeybees, Uncle Alex would suddenly interrupt the agreeable blather to exclaim, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'

So I do the same now, and so do my kids and grandkids. And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"

— Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country (2005)

"no one is super offended or offput by transmascs, they aren't viewed as sexual predators" steve dain was:

  • discouraged from being a tomboy by his counselor as a child (he was told he had "penis envy" and needed to "straighten out" or he'd become a lesbian)
  • accused of "violating God's laws," and called "thing" "creature" "it" after transitioning and returning to his job as a teacher
  • his transition literally "divided the town" he lived in
  • the superintendent fired him for "immoral conduct" and "unfitness"
  • said superintendent also publicly speculated about his genitalia, suggested that he would have to use his own bathroom because "would you want your little girl in the powder room with her?" and spread rumors that he had shown young girls his genitalia & molested them (likely, imo, what he means his "he talked about transitioning to some interested students and their parents got pissed" if there's any truth at all)
  • also said "And I’m telling you, kids here just don’t understand this hanky panky of people going around chopping off their breasts" (fearmongering about top surgery from 1975!)
  • Steve won his wrongful termination suit, but the school board then accused him of misusing sick leave because he took time off to medically transition. He tried to fight this but after four years he could not afford the legal costs.
  • He was never able to return to teaching even after winning his lawsuit because no one would hire him, so he had to completely switch careers.

erasure is not a lack of hatred or violence towards transmascs. its a culture of silence around that violence. you cannot know how people see transmascs by only looking at how they treat us when they think we're cis men.

woah you're telling me that when homophobic transphobic cis people see an adult trans man they actually see him as a predatory threat to their children? you mean that there's more to anti-transmasculinity than infantilization? you mean that they don't actually see adult trans men as basically the same as a cis man? wild

The infantilization is their idea of "early intervention" and the ones they can't "correct" will be given the same violent predator label as everyone else because they're, so to speak, "too far gone".
