I feel a lot of belief that “trans women obviously have it worse than trans men” it comes from assuming men & women are opposites & that their experiences must be opposite as well. As in, if trans women experience one thing, trans men must experience the opposite—but that’s not how it works in practice. Trans women are demonized and sexualized doesn’t mean trans men aren’t as well. Trans women feeling less safe after transition doesn’t mean trans men feel more safe. And transmasculinity being considered disgusting mutilation doesn’t translate to the opposite for transfemininity! I just wish we would stop comparing experiences as though they can be quantified & pitted against one another.

I’ll give you my heart, even though I know nothing good will come out of it.
“I’ll give her my heart, and everything else.
I dream about the days we could spend together
A magnetic force that squeezes my chest
I wish to be with her, there’s no place I’d rather
But alas I cannot relish in the sweet, soft feeling
I hide it, And fear of having it in their sight
For if I share with others this blossoming
It’d would be rejected and I’d lose all might
Even if, the chance of reciprocity
I still must refuse
Because of my tarnished mind, a calamity
And my state of imprisonment, we’d both lose
Still I dream and hope
Fantasies fill my head
Of lazy cuddles and fates intwined like rope
Anchored to each other with stones of lead
Stolen kisses in a empty bathroom
Little hearts drawn on our hands
But these are unreal, My senses should remain acute
For this is only in my head”
Stuff happened, dropped my phone in a toilet lol. But besides that here’s a lazy poem I wrote about a crush. It’s really cringe and poor but it’s whatever.
