#trans masculine
Every time I think I have my sexuality all figured out, beautiful/handsome folks like this have the audacity to exist
What does masculinity mean to you?
“That is something that changes for me and for everyone all the time. Generally, the answer can only be true in this moment through certain textures — the way something feels on my body at this time. But ultimately, masculinity is one range of options for gender expression among many. For me, masculinity feels like a certain amount of tension between comfort and vulnerability.” – Ketch Wehr, Yorkville, NY

Some days I’m chill with my bottom bits and other days I’m like WHERE THE FUCK IS MY COCK?!
I received an email recently regarding this comic, so I decided to revisit it. This is a panel from one of the comics in Gumballs. This panel makes me cringe with embarrassment. It brings me back to the fear of being caught. It’s my earliest memory of gender dysphoria. From childhood to adulthood, I would sometimes put a sock in my pants for a brief moment just to see what it looked like and felt like. I revealed my secret for the first time in this book. There are several memories I have like this one. There were plenty of times when I knew I was trans, but I repressed it deeply. I don’t know how I managed to do it for 32 years. I wish I had the visibility and the language that kids have today, but it’s better late than never. I’m thankful for the people who have made themselves visible throughout the years. I’m thankful for the advocates, the people who work to change laws, and for those who educate. Without them, I would still be hiding who I am.

Wading into the often problematic abyss of Twitter can cause you to think many things, especially if you’re a trans person of color. Like the world has a lot of growing up and learning to do when it comes to the gender spectrum. Or that the only trans folks mainstream society tend to know about are celebrities. Sometimes, you even feel like you’re just one unique blip on the social media radar.
All of those are true, but you’re not alone. There are plenty of trans folks of color spilling T, discussing their experiences, and in general, just taking up space (and rightly so). Here are some dope people that you should follow immediately (only if you want to get your *intersectional* life on a daily basis)!
Check out the list here.
Back in 2012, Georgia resident Roddy Jacobson, enrolled at Mount Holyoke, a prestigious all-women’s college in South Hadley, Massachusetts. While there, Jacobson, who was assigned female at birth, thought about transitioning to a male identity.
“I think I was dealing with interpersonal issues, and some of them were in relation to being at this ‘all-women’s environment’ and not feeling any connection to that identity beyond biological parts,” Jacobson says, later specifying the feelings as disillusionment. “My sophomore year I was approached by a few trans guys on campus and they invited me to some events. I got into the small trans circles on campus. I opened my mind up about my gender [identity] through that.”

Do not approach it as sex or gender; approach it as your own physical, emotional, and aesthetic needs.
Let me slip into something more comfortable *medically transitions*
