Claim

He lived a long life
Loved his family
Worked as a doctor
Or carpenter
Or lawyer
Or grocer

His wife writes about missing him

And you reach out and claim 'her'
'So Brave' you say as you scribble over his name
As you undo his life
Change everything about him
To make him one of yours
'So sad she had to hide'
He wasn't hiding he was happy
He lived the life he wanted

You will not claim my life
I am a man and proud
I am a godless monster and I am proud
I am above your mortal concepts of gender binaries
I have evolved beyond your labels

My family will fight for me
My friends will strike you down
Because I am who I am
And they love me
And you cannot reclaim me
You cannot reclaim us

We never belonged to you in the first place

Apparently young guys nowadays are unironically addressing other guys whose names they don't know as "brother." Which is weird to me because when I was young those guys were calling everyone "bro," and the general semantic trend over the last 20 years has been towards abbreviating words, not speaking them in full. Also they're calling me "brother" despite my aging soft twink presentation.

And all these things are potentially endangering any trans person. Visibly being trans gets us killed these days.
Your safe space is a lie. Making a place unwelcome to any gender makes it unsafe for anyone. Why should I come into your supposedly "safe" space, if you can kick me out the moment I act too "masculine" for you? Why should a closed trans woman come to your "women only" space when she has to disclose the fact that she's trans? Gender based hate is always discrimination, no matter which direction it goes, and you will always act within the system of patriarchy instead of against it.
With what logic can you deny the existence of misandry while claiming to fight patriarchy? Patriarchy by design is gender, class and race based oppression. You can't deny any part of it, if you want to dismantle the system. If thinking this way makes me an MRA, honestly: I wear it with pride, because it's true. But then be consequent and label feminists like bell hooks as MRA as well.
If you've taken at least one thing from my thread, then read bell hooks right now.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk. Cis endo people are required to give me a tip, if they can spare money, for my free educational work here.

"I'm not gay, I'm not coming on to you" Maybe not, but you did your best to start a conversation and when I didn't bite you resorted to 'can I ask you some questions' and when I replied with a firm No you did not take the hint. Maybe it's that I'm just femme enough to be appealing and just masc enough that you don't feel threatened by your own desires.

When I presented as a woman I would, every so often, at some bar, run into a cishet woman who'd do some heavy flirting with no intent of follow-through. I was just butch enough to be exotic and just femme enough that her boyfriend wouldn't mind. I have now learned that a certain sort of cishet man will do the same thing, if he's drunk, and if I don't aggressively shoot him down.

Toujours sur le sujet de la fertilité transmasc, une étude rétrospective sur les résultats de stimulations ovariennes (pour FIV ou pour préservation d'ovocytes) chez des personnes trans ayant pris de la testostérone ou non[1]. Elle comprends 46 cycles chez 36 personnes différentes, dont 20 cyles (14 personnes) ayant été sous T auparavant. Ce qui est un échantillon très faible mais pas mal du tout pour le champs de la fertilité transmasc.
Son intérêt est qu'il y a actuellement peu de données sur les résultats en terme d'embryons/de blastocystes (structures du début du développement embryonnaire) et de naissances après la prise de T ; la majorité des données qu'on a sont sur des ovocytes préservés, pas sur leur utilisation.

L'étude trouve que, en contrôlant pour l'âge, l'utilisation préalable de T est associée à moins de blastocystes de haute qualité et à moins de blastocystes en général, mais pas à une quantité d'ovocytes matures différente. Elle trouve aussi qu'un arrêt de la T pour moins de 6 mois avant la stimulation est associé à moins de blastocystes de haute qualité (mais pas à moins d'ovocytes matures récoltés) ; mais pour diverses raisons il ne faut pas penser que cette relation est causale. Elle ne trouve pas de différence significative dans le taux du nombre de naissances.

D'ailleurs la partie sur les ovocytes matures est cohérente avec une autre étude rétrospective qui ne trouvait pas d'association entre la durée d'arrêt de testostérone et le nombre d'ovocytes matures préservés[2].

En gros, la prise de T semble ne pas poser de problèmes pour la conservation d'ovocytes, mais pourrait baisser un peu l'efficacité de leur utilisation ─ ça n'implique pas qu'une grossesse et une naissance n'est pas possible, mais plutôt qu'il est possible qu'il faille plus de cycle ou un arrêt de la T plus long pour y parvenir. Tout ça à prendre avec des énormes pincettes vu les limites méthodologiques (mais c'est super de voir de plus en plus de données sur le sujet, et comment les recommandations peuvent évoluer en conséquence)

@purplerabbit I was searching the #transmasc hashtag for a bit of nice news and found this. Thanks, friend. It's been a rough one.

This is Talon (he/they) the second character I created in the second dnd campaign I ever played in. Said campaign recently reached it's end, roughly four years after I joined and 4 and a half after it started.
