I love men idc. The world built me not to; I’m not a man, I am a lesbian, I’ve been through hell at the hands of some of the worst men out there, and I am still put in a lot of scary situations around them. But men as a whole deserve to be loved and celebrated for who they are, and we need to recognize the kinds of pressures that are on men to constantly perform, to constantly do, to constantly prove themselves, and the kind of fucked up shit that can do to a person. I feel like trans people in general have a special perspective on this matter and I hope we can use it to extend our love to all kinds of men, cis, trans, and anything else.
It doesn’t help that when people hear “man,” too many instantly think “cishet, white, abled man,” which is exactly what the patriarchy & white supremacy want you to think (though these men also deserve love and compassion and care). Don’t put your suffering under systems of power on individual men. And remember, you never have to prove yourself as a man to be one.

it’s so tragic really like you kiss him and then make a pact with him because you need it to return home and he doesn’t even know that he’s helping you leave him. and if you do choose to stay? you’ll still be abandoning him. whichever option you choose he gets left behind. yet you kiss him anyway

idk what’s gotten into me lately. but robb stark & theon greyjoys relationship is genuinely just everything to me. it builds me up and breaks me down in every way shape and form.
the very depiction of brotherhood. growing up side by side, & the show really does their relationship justice.
“It’s your duty to represent your house when your father can’t.”
i always see them in the small scenes. like when robb made the joke about jon never liking a girl better than his own hair, it was theon he turned to first to share laughter. when lord glover (or wtv his name is) started to pull out his sword it was theon who jumped up first, knife out.
& when they find out about his betrayal. when catelyn says “i told you never to trust a greyjoy!”, & robb is just utterly defeated. it’s like you can hear what he doesn’t say out loud.
“i wasn’t trusting a greyjoy, i was trusting theon.”
robb, lord of winterfell, the head of a war he doesn’t want to be in, not having anyone he can trust. catelyn, freeing his biggest advantage in the war behind his back. theon, capturing the home they both grew up in, in the name of a man who sat on his ass at the iron islands while ned stark raised him as his own.
& i know jon tells theon he’s angry because he betrayed ned’s memory. he did, & i’m glad he said it, but nobody ever told him how much he betrayed robb’s memory. he allowed robb to die thinking he burnt winterfell with bran & rickon inside of it.
and because theon took winterfell, robb is called the king who lost the north. it caused robb’s men to lose faith in him, & it set the red wedding up perfectly.
& honestly, it just hurts my heart. so so so bad. i have an ache in my chest whenever i think about it. & i can’t even watch the episode where theon took winterfell. bran & theon in that scene killed me.
“theon. did you hate us the whole time?”
and just like that my face is on the news.
