also btw that passage about media consumption as activism and the idea of "gayboring" (this post) are twin sisters to me because when you see media consumption as activism and therefore as a reflection of real life, any gritty or unsavory or "weird" aspects of any marginalized culture/community gets completely sanitized in favor of portraying an "ideal" form of that community in the eyes of consumerism (i.e.: boring and safe and non-confrontational)

bc its hot out im thinking about Laughingstock (two fluffy boys) being too warm to sleep in the same bed. so they start arguing over who gets the bed - trying to give it to each other of course - and Howdy. Howdy starts making a sales pitch about how great the bed is, wouldnt Barnaby like to try it? its right up his alley! perfectly suited to him! so Barns is like "oh hm well sure ill give it a go". he lays down. blinks. "heyyyyy wait a minute" but Howdy is already camped on the living room couch, smug as a bug

like sure i think it's a good starting point of the "we're (trans) just like you! (cis)" for inexperienced parents and friends of trans people. it gives them a foundation to go on that trans = human, baby steps
but i have to stop there before it reinforces that cis = default and that trans (not cis) = becoming default (want to be just like cis people).
i didn't start T or get top surgery because i wanted to look like a cis man. yes i wanted to be more masculine, the look and sound and feel that's typical of cis men, but i still want to be trans and associated with transness.
stealth is painful for me to be in when im not out to people. i don't want to be assumed to be a cis man i want to be seen as a trans man, and i want the "we're just like you!" be likened more to "we're both men even if our experiences are different" i don't need to pretend to be a cis man for me to be a man
separating my masculinity from my transness reduces my personhood to a black hole of total alienation
