We need more spaces for trans masc folks. We need them to feel welcome, and we need to support them, especially during their transition.
Even I admit I could be doing better. I keep trying to. I want to learn more about it, not just through medical documentation, but experiences of people who have gone/are going through it.
Call me out if you feel I'm ever being insensitive to something trans masc folks go through, please!
Same goes for strictly non-binary or agender folks! I feel there is still too much of a focus on trans women sometimes (though we seem to be the scariest ones according to anti-feminist groups and The Media™), but I want to make sure I'm as inclusive as possible!
@Cr0wnless i know that a lot of the lovely post-birdsite masto world i'm in rn is very transfemme-leaning, but homg it's a breath of fresh air. but part of me really worries if we're being exclusive. i would super not tolerate this, but what if i just don't see it?
if you need to, pls call me out, friendos. transmasc and adjacent folks are important and amazing, and one of the reasons i'm here. i read a lot of stuff by transmasc and nonbinary writers on my way. it resonated just the same.
@Cr0wnless some extra thoughts:
there's a lot of parallel stuff around presentation and perception. (you must be THIS masc to enter queer spaces is one i've heard). also transmasc folks are regularly targeted by those pushing """ROGD""". general discounting of lived experiences. being on the receiving side of toxic masculinity they never asked for. just a few things that come to mind!
