Gang, I am looking for a photograph I know exists, but I can not find. It is a historic black and white photo of a group of butches/transmen with a sign that say's "Who says there are no boys in Chaigao" (I believe, in reference to the draft)

Awww, thank you so much Anon!! I always love getting submissions like this, it really does warm my heart ❤
'To All I Think Is Safe' was honestly a really hard one to write since I was actively in a disassociation episode while writing it, so I'm glad it's found a special place in your heart! Glad you also enjoy 'Sweet Delights' the way I intend for all my fics lmao. Honestly, I can't even tell you how many Mike fics I have saved as my bedtime stories, most recently 'Sex Dreams' by @yanderestarangel has been the constant one in my rotation because I am- BEGGING for ftm! reader x Mike shit rn.

It's that time again where I'm climbing the walls for smut, thus why I broke break to write 'Pretty.' Ferally need a whimpering mess beneath me rn. I could say shit that would have y'all questioning if I'm gonna ever get employed due to digital footprint, but I won't right now lmao)

as a trans gay guy, my relationship to the concept of the butch/transmasc overlap is so so weird. because on one level it's by and large a real social phenomenon that underlies a lot of common experiences and draws communities together and so on. but then on another level. like. some of us (transmascs) just Are Not Butch. i recently read fun home, and i was really struck by bechdel's account of butchness and how it... didn't actually resonate with me at all. like, i'm very familiar with feeling uncomfortable with conventional femininity, and with wanting to look male - but i keep re-realising that the experience of specifically aspiring to masculinity is just alien to me. in particular, bechdel describes feeling like she might have been compensating for her dad's femininity, and like... i've never felt anything like that. i've tried to put distance between myself and women's femininity, but i've only ever looked at fem men and felt jealous of them.
but then i look at the cis gay male community for examples of male femininity, and of course, it has its own gnc/trans overlap. and i don't aspire to trans womanhood any more than i aspire to cis womanhood.
so for people on those two cusps, gender and orientation might be very fluid and open-ended, but my personal desired gender expression is actually quite narrow and a very delicate balance - narrower and more specific even than a lot of other fem gay trans guys i've encountered.
what's more, i've heard from a lot of people on the transmasc/butch cusp in particular that, essentially, they know they're queer because they're attracted to women, and the rest is hazier, but maybe also less important. which is an interesting perspective, but again - completely alien to me. gender comes first for me, without a doubt - and even that can be subdivided. orientation comes after gender, but a positive sense of maleness also comes after a completely fundamental sense of non-femaleness. gender and sexuality are entangled for both of us - but once again, in opposite ways.
i conceive of myself as a binary man, but even so, it's like... almost a nonbinary experience, in a way. like, in very old-fashioned views of queerness, there are two basic types of queer - the butch-lesbian-transhet-man group and the fem-gay-transhet-woman group. there are male inverts and female inverts, FtMs and MtFs, or in polari, omee-palones and palone-omees (men-women and women-men). and someone like me just... doesn't fit into that framework. if an invert is a man with a woman's soul or a woman with a man's soul, what is a woman with the soul of a man with the soul of a woman? you need more layers. you need to recognise that gender and orientation are, or at least can be, separable experiences to be able to conceive of me at all. and ironically that often means you have to frame orientation almost like a gender, again - i believe lou sullivan referred to himself as female-to-gay-male, and i can see why.
but at the same time - we've allegedly come so far, and people can now nominally conceive of identities like mine - but it's still a huge struggle to even begin to express it. how do you reconcile rejection of cisfemininity and womanhood with a genuine desire to be subtly feminine/effeminate? i haven't found a way yet. i don't know if it will be possible until i can access medical transition (and even then, it might take years.) so in the meantime, i look butch, and i just have to live with the fact that the identity i'm broadcasting is the direct opposite of who i really want to be.
idk man. i'm a trans man, but maybe i'm transandrogynous. but it has to be the right androgyny, an androgyny i feel is "male", so maybe i'm not! i'm a faggot trapped in a dyke's body. i'm transitioning from one queer gender expression to another, and while i do feel a degree of solidarity and commonality with actual butches, i also feel like butchness is, for me, nearly as suffocating and dissonant as cisfemininity.
and reading this back now, i've realised i'm doing the same thing over again - i'm conflating my own gayness with my own desire for androgyny(?)/effeminacy(?), and somewhere out there, a fem transhet guy or a butch transhet girl is groaning with exactly the same kind of alienation i often feel.
god. gender is so complicated and so important and so stupid at the same time. why does it have to be so hard!!! we all just want to exist.

If I may get personal about stuff for a moment here for Pride Month - I've made a meme about this before, but I've gotta say, the ace and aro communities have honestly helped me understand myself and how my own brain works on a level that I don't think anyone else ever could.
I am neither ace nor aro, but I am autistic, and so, while I do experience attraction at a """"normal"""" frequency, maybe even on the high end of that, I...don't really feel it the same way most allistic allos do, and hey, turns out that's a whole mess of a thing! A whole mess of a thing that...has a lot of overlap with ace and aro experiences, it turns out!
See, I've been through a lot of sexuality labels, and I'm not really sure whether, in my case, I consider it more of a case of fluid identity or a process of self-discovery. I've considered myself a lesbian, bisexual, and yes ive even considered myself asexual, but they all eventually felt Off somehow; as of right now I consider myself gay but less in a strictly m4m way and more in a freak4weirdo way. I like guys who identify as bears before they identify as men. I like people who live comfortably on the ftm-butch-mtf-femboy-ftm cusp and have no intention of making it any simpler. Show me someone who looks like a cis woman and I'm not interested; tell me he's a guy and I'm immediately into it. I like men who only felt comfortable identifying as men after starting estrogen and loving it, and women who felt the same about testosterone. I like people who turn their drag name into their government name. I like people who have "basic" genders to tell normies and then break out the Good Gender, like the fine china, for people who actually get it. I like nonbinary intersex people who aggressively identify as cisgender in a world that refuses to let them and damned near only them do so. I like people whose genders can ONLY be accurately described with every reclaimed slur in the book and anything more "print-safe" is drag to them. If you're visibly doing something fucky with gender, I'm interested on sight; if it's less visible, I'm still just as attracted the moment I know it's there. The attraction I feel is immediate and intense-
But it's not physical in the way allo allistics describe it. As an autistic guy with interroception problems, I was just as shocked to find out how many expressions about the physicality of attraction were actual descriptions of actual things people feel and not just turns of phrase as most of my ace friends were. I've never felt actual warmth from looking at someone I find "hot", I've barely even noticed the physical sensation of arousal, I've just had the emotional drive of "oh. Oh how I hope you're down."
Ace spaces are also where I've gotten the most understanding of just how context-sensitive my attraction is. I've never had an ace person try to forcibly relabel me because my attraction instantly changes based on identity information even when I'm looking at the same photo. I've never had an ace adult nitpick me or question my motives for celebrating the specific way lesbians and gay men sometimes end up attracted to each other; for loving how that's not "an exception", but its own unique form of queer attraction. I've also never had an ace person suspect me of shady business for having overlap between kinks and "weird" things I just like as totally nonsexual sensory play. It's always been ace spaces where I've felt most able to express and understand such paradoxical feelings as, "you know what, I don't get it, but damn, I Get It." The details don't matter; the sentiment comes across.
And aromanticism? Look, I'm a hopeless romantic. I love the silly courtship rituals humans do. I'm a sucker for a good love story. I like physical affection. I like the emotional bonding experiences of everything from long walks on the beach and stargazing, to getting dressed up in the fanciest, most elaborate clothing we own to go watch and roast really bad movies. I am such a sucker for weddings from any culture that I joke that it's half the reason I'm polyam.
But also, what is a social cue? What separates a date from something you can do with "just" a friend? Where do those weird vaguely homoerotic teenage toxic girl friendships that wlw tumblr loves to talk about (and I certainly experienced my share of pre-transition) fall in this? I don't get the rules of this. I'm one of those autistic people who ended up developing a special interest in communication as compensation, yet no matter how much I learn, it never becomes intuitive. I can spot others' communication troubles from a mile away, but my own? Ha, good one! I'm still the most oblivious motherfucker I've ever met. Is this a date? Are you trying to become a partner? A FWB? Do we need to define this? Do we need to inform your partner(s)? Do you consider this theme park outing a date, or just a couple of friends hanging out together? What should I consider it? Emotionally, I struggle to define it, because these aren't boxes but spectra and I do not have the general emotional awareness to get a good grade in therapy most days no matter how much I sound like I do; on your own end please rank this experience from 1 to 10 where 1 is strictly platonic and 10 is you-are-planning-to-propose, return the form to my office and I'll get back to you within 2-3 business days--
My aro friends Get Me on this in a way that so many others - even many other autistic people - do not. It's deeply refreshing to meet whole communities of people who are often just as confused about this whole mess as me, not for the exact same reason, but for one adjacent to and frequently overlapping with it. It's great to know I share this experience with other people like me! Even more exciting to find out I share it with people who are, in a huge way, not like me at all! It's great to know that it transcends just one brand of human experience! It's great to understand and be understood across these differences, not in spite of them, but because of them!
What I'm saying is - this is my appreciation post for just how much we have in common. Shoutout to my ace and aro siblings for not only being awesome in your own right, but for making me feel Seen and Understood in a way I never thought I would - and reminder to everyone that queer identities have more similarities than differences, sometimes especially when they intersect with other factors, and it is only by appreciating those similarities relative to the differences that we'll ever reach a true understanding of each other and even ourselves. Respect your queer siblings, weirdos of the world unite, love and peace under the rainbow! 💖 🏳️‍🌈

My Own Private Idaho - Scott/Mike, Scott/Carmela - Pride Month Prompt 3 : Bisexual
Cw for the f slur Prompt : Write either an M/M, F/F, F/M, or Other (to include nonbinary folks since yes, bisexuality often does include them) fic (can be fluff, hurt/comfort, whatever you see fit) in which either one or both of the characters in that pairing are bisexual OR a gen fic in which a bi character (can be a canon or headcanoned character) is coming out to/being comforted by/otherwise talking about sexuality with their friend(s) Headcanons : Bisexual!Scott, FTM!Mike, Autistic!Mike
Scott reckoned sex with Mike wasn't all that bad. A few drinks, twenty bucks, trying to scare off the cops- Whatever excuse he found always wound up with him inches deep into the other man, and a small part of him knew he didn't completely hate it.
Excuse or not, he'd always justify it to himself. Mike wasn't always a man. He had all the downstairs equipment that your average woman on the street did. But that never sat right in his head as a justification for why him sleeping with Michael didn't make him a faggot because, well, he didn't see Michael as a woman. He never did. He could never see Michael as anything less than a man because he wasn't anything less than a man. That was hard to deal with.
It was a slippery slope, too, admitting to himself that his feelings for Michael were beyond the line of platonic. If he admitted that he liked Michael in that way, then he'd have to admit that he didn't hate all the dates he went on with male clients over the years. He'd have to admit to himself that, no matter what change he made in his career path and personal life, that core part of him would always stray from his parents ideals. He couldn't like men because he wasn't a complete degenerate.
That's just how it was.
Maybe that's why running away with Carmela was so easy. He did genuinely like her in the same way that, deep down, he'd always liked Michael. But the difference with her is that she was a safe option. It's like the universe had presented him with two options- Man or woman. He loved them both equally but one was just the far more obvious choice in the context of his life, especially since he was on the cusp of making the change right when his family least expected it. He would be good for them, and he couldn't be good for them if he picked the riskier choice.
He was happy with Carmela. Really, he was. He loved her and vice versa. He was also finally stable in his living situation- As fun as being in Bob's prostitute gang had been, it didn't come with the soundest of sleep. And he'd outgrown them, really. Sure, sometimes he'd fantasize about running around with those boys again, really letting loose, but peace looked well on him and he wasn't soon to give it up.
The fantasies of Michael wouldn't stop either. Nor the guilt over leaving him behind. That was his one true regret in life, abandoning Michael. Not even necessarily that he'd moved on from the boy, no. That was inevitable (it had to be). But he felt bad for the way he'd gone about it because he knew Michael loved him and he also knew that Michael would have a hard time fending for himself without Scott there because of his Narcolepsy and his Autism, especially in a foreign country.
He'd never been Mike's caretaker by any means, but no one else ever really knew how to deal with his Narcoleptic attacks or his meltdowns except for Scott. Mike hadn't felt genuinely unsafe in a really long time because he always knew in the back of his head that even if he passed out or started having a meltdown in an inconvenient situation, Scott would make sure he was okay. But then Scott left, and he felt unsafe again.
Scott never could outrun that guilt.
Eventually, the guilt and the repressed feelings had to come to pass and he found himself sobbing in his wife's arms, admitting everything he'd buried down and wished desperately would've stayed buried. "I loved him" he said through tears, nearly choking from emotion. Carmela just smiled weakly and ran a soothing hand through his hair. She'd always been so good to him in that way.
"Loved who?" she asked. There were so many men in Scott's past, it could be difficult to keep track of them. Bob, Budd, Mike, Hans... The list went on for quite a while.
"Mike" he coughed out. "Michael. The guy who was with me when we- When I met you first" he explained, occasionally coughing or sniffing or gagging through tears. "I loved him. I fucking loved him, Car" he sobbed inconsolably. "And I abandoned him in the worst way possible" he continued. "How am I supposed to- How do- How-"
"Breathe" Carmela caught him off calmly. They went back and forth like that for a while and, by the end of it, Scott was clinging to her like his life depended on it, horribly afraid she would leave him. He couldn't even blame her if she did- No one wanted to hear about their husband's lingering romantic and sexual feelings for another man. But, she didn't. She couldn't. He loved him far more than anything else. She would rather eat nails than leave him over something she'd suspected for a while.
After that, he'd gone out for a rather long drive, just by himself, to Idaho. Why Idaho? Well, it reminded him of Michael. And he needed that right now. He needed Michael. He needed...
"Michael?" he said out loud to himself because there was an awfully familiar figure passed out in the middle of the road. He didn't want to believe it but, sure enough, as he grew closer and closer, he was more and more positive about the identity of the figure. Mike Waters was passed out in the middle of the road, clearly having been robbed if his lack of shoes were any indication.
Without thinking, Scott parked the car and got out. Fuck his parents. Fuck his ideals. Fuck all of that- Michael was in an unsafe situation and no one was around and he could do something.
"Come on, big guy" Scott said quietly as he lifted Michael's unconscious body, dragging him towards the passenger side of his vehicle. "I'm here, man. I'm here"

Yfi crypto stock

“I think we are on the cusp of a booming first quarter and a lot of people will no longer be on the sidelines after the risks have subsided towards the end of the year.DeFi “blue chip” yearn.finance (YFI) has been double-digit pumping today after announcing its “multi-chain expansion” to incorporate the Fantom (FTM) blockchain’s growing DeFi ecosystem.Ĭreated by DeFi (decentralised finance) pioneer Andre Cronje, YFI is currently registering a solid 15 per cent gain. If the YFI holds the $ 18,500 to $ 20,000 range as support and continues to climb above $ 24,580, or the 0.786 line of the Fibonacci retracement on the graph above, its next upside target would be $ 40,000, an upside target.įamous Cuban crypto trader notice that YFI’s Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) is just over $ 1 billion, which “is bad when you consider the potential and the team behind it.” Three-day frame YFI / USD price chart with fakeout area | Source: TradingView It was also maintained versus the bears in September 2020, causing the price to rebound to $ 40,000. The $ 18,500 to $ 20,000 range has been attracting people to buy the dip since November 2020. Yearn Finance’s decision to repurchase more than $ 7.5 million in YFI, while driving YFI price higher, also fueled historical accumulation. “Those numbers for other yield-based protocols like Curve are 71.9x and 143x, respectively.” The next $ 40,000? “Their P / S ratio is 3.6x and their P / E is 7.9x,” wrote Cochran of Yearn Finance, adding: In either case, a lower value indicates an undervalued stock. The P / E ratio shows an investor’s decision to buy stocks based on a company’s past or future earnings. Specifically, the P / S ratio indicates how much investors are willing to pay for a company’s share based on sales per share. TVL in the Vault of Yearn Finance | Source: DeFi Lama YFI is undervaluedĬochran compared Yearn Finance’s Return on Sales (P / S) and Return on Earnings (P / E) to another “payment-based” protocol, Curve, and found that YFI is still undervalued compared to Curve’s staking token CRV. That means the Yearn Finance protocol earns one of the highest fees per TVL, which gives it enough liquidity to sustain its YFI acquisition strategy going forward. Therefore, Yearn Finance can use returns in the future to buy back even more YFI tokens.Ī partner in Cinneamhain Ventures venture capital fund, Adam Cochran notice that Yearn Finance makes approximately $ 100 million annually from fees alone from Vault, its flagship smart savings account service that maximizes the cumulative value of digital assets on deposit.Ĭochran also noted that Yearn Finance was valued at over $ 5 billion (TVL) with a market cap of $ 1.18 billion at press time. In addition, Yearn Finance saves think that You have saved more than $ 45 million on coffers and are getting “higher returns than ever”. This is the result of a community vote to improve the profitability of the YFI token. The main rise of Yearn Finance occurs when Disclosure Buy back 282.40 YFI at an average price of $ 26,651 – over $ 7.5 million total in November.

I love trans men. I love their persistence through the odds, I love their faces; the expressions they make when they concentrate. I love how different every trans man is to the next, yet still sharing a silent nod in solidarity. I love trans men, I love /loving/ other trans men, I love being one.
