it would really be fantastic if other lgbt+ especially other trans people could stop throwing transmasculine people under the bus for like. 5 seconds. thatd really be nice
mind if I ask
what
What happened??
a few days ago i woke up and as soon as i opened tumblr i was greeted by a post from one of my (former) favorite blogs talking about discourse in the lgbt community
it was a solid post. but then i actually read the tags the blogger left they just blatantly started shit talking transmascs about how we “need to do better” because apparently we “dont give a shit about other members of the lgbt+ community” (im paraphrasing but thats pretty much what they said) when the original post in question did not, not ONCE, mention transmasc individuals at all in ANY capacity.
that was just what happened that sparked this post but it’s not the first time ive seen it happen and it most definitely wont be the last. i constantly see ppl shit talk transmascs for anywhere from talking about problems that affect us to the Horrible Crime of Being Men (or male aligned) n its really disheartening. like ive seen so many ppl use transmascs as a scapegoat for discourse and just trash talking in general. so many people make jokes at transmascs expense because Haha Funny or whatever n it just? sucks so bad and really upsets me
sorry for getting ranty with this. if you want to know the specific post in question i can try to dig it up but im not going to say who made the post/left the tags because i dont want to start discourse or have people coming at me for being rightfully upset about transmasc issues (which ive seen happen countless times on this website) also feel free to ask for me to elaborate on specific stuff if need be? i know i can get a little hard to understand when i get ranty
it would really be fantastic if other lgbt+ especially other trans people could stop throwing transmasculine people under the bus for like. 5 seconds. thatd really be nice
and also while im complaining it would just be really nice if we could also stop being the butt of all your shitty jokes. bc lemme tell you as a nonbinary trans man it gets really tiring really fast when i try to find a safe space in the lgbt+ community and am immediately “welcomed” by straight up transphobia against transmascs for the evil evil crime of Being Men.

It’s hard to swallow lyrics
You wrote but don’t accept
Because though you left me empty
Doesn’t mean you fully left
And people went and people stayed
But the stain was not removed
And they say it’s better letting go
But it feels like it’s too soon
So I’ll stay here in the clearing
Where I’m hoping to be found
Though outside I’m optimistic
I doubt you would come around
Somewhere out there in the forest
You are walking with the ghosts
They might prey on your attention
But it is I who craves it most
Take my hand
Squeeze it tight
And I beg you
Don’t speak
Talk is child’s play
And the words
Lovers share
Are wasted
In the air
So I beg you
If you really
Do love me
Don’t speak
And his eyes spoke to me
Telling me not to let go
But I drew back just as quick
As the flicker of passion in his eyes
I was saving myself from ruin
But by saving my drowning soul
I left him to sink in his own ocean
Gasping for air and grasping nothing
Flesh to flesh
We lay in bedMy problems drift
As our bodies sway
You eat up my heart
And clutch my brainSkin to skin
We dive in foreign watersMy inhibitions vanish
As you caress my face
You rip a hollow piece
And tuck it awayHeart to nothing
We look pass the truthMy dream-state slips
As you stand by the door
You steal a part of me
But I will need it no more
Forever is ephemeral, and so are my breaths, for my lungs will fail on the day of my death. But love is eternal, though not yours and mine. I hope you’d remember, our time in your mind .So ‘forever’, I reckon, is nothing but a song. Just locutions that ring, yet never everlong.
Flesh to flesh
We lay in bed
My problems drift
As our bodies sway
You eat up my heart
And clutch my brain
Skin to skin
We dive in foreign waters
My inhibitions vanish
As you caress my face
You rip a hollow piece
And tuck it away
Heart to nothing
We look pass the truth
My dream-state slips
As you stand by the door
You steal a part of me
But I will need it no more
