A must read.
Transphobia is no joke.

"As a gay trans man, gender norms are a particularly difficult minefield to navigate."

"What was most disturbing was the unexpected transphobia which targeted my deepest insecurities like poison darts launched with deadly accuracy."

"My former friend is part of the LGBT+ community and a self-proclaimed trans ally, so I didn’t see that angle of attack coming."

Rare Pride Flags at KC Pride, 2024

  I paid attention to the pride flags on display at the 2024 Kansas City Pride Festival. I discussed the frequency of the most commo...

Today is my #HRTversary ! one year of T :) It is impossible (and unfair) to summarise it, as it is not linear, and other forces that shape my existence have changed too in their own ways, and what I have is the combination of all these things.

The more noticeable change is that I perceive my body, both as in perceiving it at all (I can say that until last year the body was something that was largely absent from perception, except when experiencing touch or in internal pain) and in feeling satisfied with the perception (until last year, the perception came with a feeling of uneasiness, of "I noticed it and have to do something to make it look different, less noticeable, more appropriate") and now it is often "yes this is my body and I'm happy to notice it" especially my hips and belly, I feel them as the center of gravity and it's solid and compact and it makes me smile just for being like that.

That just made me tear up to realize.

Y'all, we can make it.

@calcifer a small bit of advice is to use the #transmasc hashtag when asking for advise about binders as we monitor that. I'd also like to note that you should avoid hook fasteners when it comes to binders as they can be dangerous. Other than that, good luck 

I discussed the terms transmasculine and transfeminine and examined how they have performed in the Gender Census from 2015 to 2024.
