can somebody tell me the material difference between the transphobia trans men face and the oppression butch lesbians face for being gnc? because as a dysphoric, male-passing butch lesbian who lived as a trans man for eight years, i've been the victim of many violent hate crimes (ie. police had to intervene, not "someone called me a slur"), and i've never felt that my attackers had a different motive when i just happened to inwardly identify differently. yet despite still being discriminated against in the same way, and still being dysphoric about being female, and facing all of the same struggles, i'm now considered cis and not systematically oppressed for my gender presentation. so can somebody tell me the difference? what differentiates the oppression i face now as a dysphoric, male-passing cis woman from transphobia? at what point do i no longer have a place in the trans community?

This post is for people who have a complex relationship to gender and also love and/or are attracted to men. Attraction to men and being with men can be oddly weighted, gendered, and judged in our society. I hope you can find happiness and affirmation in your attraction and love, regardless of pre-conceived societal notions and stigma.
Passing, non-passing, passing doesn't apply, binary, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderweird, binary-adjaced, related to other identities - I hope you know whatever relationship with gender and gender expression you have that your orientation is good and deserves celebration. Orientation and gender can have a relationship with each other, but orientation doesn't determine gender and you can be whoever you want to be.

"suits me" by diane middlebrook
(the billy tipton biography from 1998)
been meaning to post this since november but hello body not working much. so,
a while back i saw a bunch of comments about "suits me", the biography of billy tipton, in which people were very angry at the author for disrespectful language. and it took me a minute to process that until i realised it's a time thing. eg sure, the language is outdated now. but that's because billy died in 1989, his ex approached middlebrook 2 years later in 1991 because she (kitty) wanted his story told and appreciated the care & respect middlebrook had used in another biography, middlebrook did years of research,and the book came out in 1998. the language that we, the trans community, use for ourselves is constantly evolving, & moreso (& faster!) online among younger people than in meatlife among older folx (ime, ymmv, etc)
i've been online since 1993. i first looked for trans spaces in the late 90s, but i found exactly ZERO that weren't specifically only for mtf or ftm people until about 10 years later. and even then, none of the spaces i found were comfortable; they were decidedly NOT supportive for either non-medicalised nor nonbinaried trans folx
hell, i only learned that other genderqueer folx were getting top surgery and taking hormones in the past decade or so! and i don't think i saw the word nonbinary until the last 5-10 years either.
even a decade ago, the loudest voices speaking about the trans community seemed to be binary voices who far too often spoke about & treated those of us outside that binary in very similar ways to how bi people were often treated durnig the biphobia surge during the aids crisis.
so yes, while the language IS outdated, i hope people do recognise that middlebrook reached out to four very well known and very well respected members of the trans community-- three trans men, at least 2 of whom are activists, and one person who had about as much use for binaries or being shoved into boxes as i do.
Tumblr media
image description: text reading "To Stormé DeLarverié, Jamison Green, Jay Prosser, and Rupert Raj-Gauthier, I am grateful for views from inside the transgendered life."
(yes, "transgendered life" is also outdated. i know. i'm old!) to me this strongly suggests that middlebrook may have recognised that billy (a married man with kids who had a lifelong affectionate relationship with 2 of his cousins who knew all about his life and with whom he chose to be dorothy) might be a trans man or might have had more complex sense of self. and we'll never know, but middlebrook made space for possibilities while trying to not push one way or the other. or at least that's my read.

my T patches are actually life changing like i cannot express to you the relief i feel. ive been struggling with taking my T regularly for years now.* ive been on and off with it so many times. i did injections for a couple months until i hit a bad spot and couldnt get myself to do it anymore. i got on gel which was so much better, but it was a daily thing and it took a lot of energy that i dont have. and i kept beating myself down for not doing it, and that made the pressure even worse.
the gel had to be applied every day. one pouch took about 4-5 minutes to completely absorb, and my dose was 2 pouches so it took much longer.** my skin is naturally really dry and it got a lot worse, in fact i could only put it on my stomach because it would crack my skin on my shoulders. i wanted to apply lotion but i felt like there was never a good time to do it because of the fact i had to wait 5 hours before i could touch the area. i found it really hard to mentally work around.
so i talked to my doctor again and i got on patches, and i couldn't be happier. it takes way less spoons and there's less pressure to do it at the "right time." i feel more free to apply it after the time ive set for myself because it has a smaller impact. im so happy, i feel so free.
* im in an extremely privileged position to be able to even have access to hrt, let alone take it irregularly.
** i know for a lot of people it isn't much, but i have trouble brushing my teeth or eating or showering, and 10 minutes feels impossible.

From: _Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender_ by Kit Heyam
It’s important that we, as historians or as queer people, don’t treat gender and sexuality as two things that use to be entangled but have now been teased apart. There can be a tendency in white queer circles to frame this as a narrative of ‘progress’ in which we’ve moved from and outdated past where all queer relationships had to have ‘a man and a woman’, to a liberated present in which…

The genders? Yeah, I know those. I'm aware of them. There's:
Monster high doll
Mad scientist
Clown, or jester or mime of some sort
creature made of mist that sits and listens
the loch ness monster
supervillain
superhero
librarian with a mysterious white streak in their hair
box of deer teeth
robot from outer space

"queer identities are getting too complex" good. be complex. confuse cis people. confuse straight people. aim to be what cishets call cringe. be incomprehensible. be unfathomable.
