As a trans dude living the farm life, I’ve always felt like there’s almost no rep for the blue collar transgenders! I love all my siblings working in tech and all that, but I know there’s more of use out here in the fields too! Pls tell me I’m not alone lmfao.

Let’s just do a casual post together!

Mine are he/they/fae/she

i was beset by demons this morning (digestive issues) and need to rehydrate + im hungry. i have a gallon of sugar-free green iced tea but idk what to do food-wise

edit: forgive me god and gays but i have eaten an elite cbr wrap from subway. i was so hungry, and it was so good. plz pray for my ass and insides

edit2: …so it’s gonna be broth and crackers for the foreseeable future, and im changing my name to icarus

i’ve seen so many over the years, some are fun and some are cringe, but i do like seeing how people try to extend their greetings beyond the binary

some of my favorites include the classic “guys, gals, and nonbinary pals”, “ladies, gentlemen, and those in between”, and i recently started watching a youtuber who says “laddies, lassies, and lassos” which i think is fun

honorable mentions include “gaydies and lentlemen” and“theydies and gentlethems” since they only have two terms but they’re silly with it

what are some of yours?

The title pretty much says it :]

Whose your favorite trans character(s)? It could be a character that’s implied to be trans or one that’s confirmed ^{^}

What is the dumbest, most nonsensical thing a transphobe has ever said to you? Doesn’t have to be you directly, just something you’ve seen/heard that was so unfathomably ignorant and disconnected from reality you had to take a step back to even process what they said.

I’ve spent the last several months being so confused on how I felt. I’m so glad people are realizing the rampant misandry and general distain some of our community has for trans men.

I'm sure many of us are having a difficult time right now, but I wanted to help a bit by having a place for everyone to share some trans joy! Sometimes people focus on the negatives so much that we forget about the good side of things. Whether it's a big news story or a small personal euphoria moment, or even something not related to being trans at all that still made you smile, we'd love to hear it (As long as you want to share, of course)!

Here's your reminder that you are valid, you are loved and cared for, and as my favorite teacher once said... This world was ALWAYS meant to have you in it!!

One of our most powerful forms of resistance is celebrating our victories, so let's annoy the haters by doing just that!

…and I DON’T mean cleanliness-wise, either. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been in some foul men’s bathrooms.

But as a trans man who A) has an extensive history of using the women’s and B) has to clean the unisex customer toilets in my workplace, never underestimate the ability/willingness of cis women to piss all over the seat and floor, wipe menstrual blood over the walls, or leave tampons anywhere but in the sanitary bins. I once found a pregnancy test in the condiment unit bins in spite of the fact, again, we have dedicated bins for sanitary and medical waste in the bathrooms.

Being a disgusting enemy of society is not a gendered problem, it’s a personal problem.

Anyway, the men’s bathrooms are just structurally designed to make you suffer. Urinals are a scourge on our society, and I’ll bet cis men don’t even realise it. Bathroom designers think “oh, men can just piss in the urinals” so they’ll cheap out and give men the tiniest, most cramped bathroom they can get away with, and at worst you’ll have one single cubicle for the entire male visitorship of your shop/theatre/offices/whathave you.

…Leading to situations like today where I’m on the clock at work, and my bathroom break took almost 20 minutes because there is ONE (1) cubicle in the men’s room and the dude in there is clearly fighting for his life. I was beginning to wonder if the cubicle was even in use and the staff had locked it and not put up a sign, until I heard the paper holder rattle on and off for several minutes, with what sounded like a bunch of aggressive wiping going on.

When you’re a non-op trans guy whose anatomy won’t allow you to use an STP (though I needed the cubicle for other reasons, also), and you’re a guy who still only passes maybe 75-90% of the time depending on the day…it is SCARY to be standing around outside the only cubicle while cis men come and go for the urinals or else (god forbid) start queuing behind you. Only one person has ever been shitty to me in the men’s in my six year history of using them, but boy howdy is the fear that today might be the day some geezer tries to start shit really real.

But I’m conviced urinal culture is royally screwing cis men, too. This here is for the nervous pissers, the dudes with IBS (holler!!!!), the guys who could benefit mentally from just 2 minutes on their ass in private to scroll their phone and take a mini-breather. Did anyone ever write an essay linking urinals as a weapon of our capitalist society to get people back behind their desks as quickly as humanly possible, because I think someone should write that.

On a much more irksome note, try being on a night out and there are no locks/no doors on the cubicles at the pub or club. I don’t care if dudes are fucking or doing drugs in the toilets, privacy in the loos should be an expectation for people whoever they are and whatever they’re packing.

(Nobody take this post or its title too seriously, please. …Well, except my final point that cis men deserve the right to privacy as much as anybody else, I strongly stand behind that).

I'm transfem, two most ridiculous I got has to be:

1 That I think being a man is inferior because I grew up in a female dominant household (Mom is the breadwinner). Um no, I never thought this way

2 That I believe being a woman will make me more sociable. I mean yes it would, but not for the reasons they think

Almost every person I've ever met in the community likes to play at least one video game lol. My partner got me into WoW Classic, and now I have multiple characters and am obsessed with it. So, what's your favorite video game?

Also, meet Sesame! She's our youngest cat (out of two) and is currently passed tf out in my partners chair while they're gone. She follows me everywhere, it's so cute :')

This sub is growing so fast, especially considering it was made less than 48 hours ago (if I'm remembering correctly). So happy to see so much positivity here, it's really seeming like a great supportive community :3

I’m just curious. I feel like having our community represented by the product of a megacorporation is a strange dichotomy for the rest of what we tend to stand for. If you really like the plush and are happy with it representing you, more power to you, I’m just wondering if there’s some lore or something I’m missing behind why we rally so hard for the blähaj, and by extension, IKEA. Any insight/opinions on this are welcome, but I’m hoping not to cause any severe fighting, so if that happens, I’m sorry :(

I looooove finding new identity labels for myself and I'd also love to meet like-minded people! Share your favorite label or one you like but don't identify as!!

Can be cannon or headcannon, if its headcannon id love to hear more about why you have that headcannon!

I love doing creative stuff, just don't have enough time to try it all 😔

I'd love to hear what y'all like to do!

Ya’ll are awesome and I appreciate your existence <3

It’s so hilarious when people act like men are significantly stronger than women in all cases. I don’t fully pass as a trans woman yet in all cases. And there have been a couple times that people will come up to me asking me to lift something, someone even calling me a “strong man”

When I don’t pass, I look like a femboy at best. There’s nothing “strong man” about me even when I don’t pass

To add to the comedy, one time, I had to ask for help from a female co worker who probably struggled less than me when we lifted it together despite the customer seeming to have more faith in me than her. Today, I lifted it with a male co worker. He put in no effort when I had all signs of strain on my face and everything

It just shows to me that gender expectations and all go entirely against logic

Did you figure it out quickly? Did it take a while? Did you try out any other names before settling on your current name? Are you still trying to find your name?

this is in “one of the boys” by victoria zeller and the MC (a trans girl) is saying her old jersey number was always 23 but apparently i cannot put two and two together because i have no idea what she means by that. does anyone know, is this a thing??

I'm a trans girl with Kosmemophobia; the phobia of jewelery. For my own sake, I will abbreviate this to just 'j'.

While I don't mean this in a judgmental way at all, I've noticed a lot of the queer community likes to wear j, a lot. I am just curious to know, are there any queer/trans people like me who share this phobia? Sometimes it feels somewhat isolating.

Thanks.

Interested to see what you say on this, I like Stardew Valley a lot and I always choose the male option because I’m a boy but I’m wondering what my nb neighbors choose?
