I Wish People Would Stop Trying To Convince Trans Men That They Shouldn’t Transition (medically).

i wish people would stop trying to convince trans men that they shouldn’t transition (medically).

“don’t go on T, you’ll go bald”

“don’t go on T, you’ll be aggressive”

“if you do go on T, get mood stabilizers because you’re gonna be really angry and destructive”

“don’t get bottom surgery, the recovery hurts”

“don’t go on T, i won’t feel safe around you anymore”

“don’t get top surgery the scars are ugly”

“why would you want to be a man? men suck”

so on and so forth. those are all things that i and other trans men i know have been told. and its gross!!

stop saying that. stop telling trans men to not transition. stop telling trans men that they’re gonna be ugly, undesirable, a “traitor”, unsafe to be around, etc. it’s transphobic.

masculinity is a wonderful, beautiful thing. let trans men be masculine. let them be strong, take up space, loud about their identity, proud about their transition. it’s not a moral failing to be masculine. trans men aren’t betraying the queer community by transitioning.

it is not trans men’s job to make themselves digestible and feminine for your comfort. there are men in the queer community. there are straight men in the queer community. there are masculine, tall, buff, bearded men in the queer community. and you might not know that they’re queer at first glance. but they’re queer nonetheless and you should be normal about that. that should not weird you out or make you feel betrayed.

trans men should transition if they want to. they should go on T, get surgeries, grow facial hair, talk about their transition and how happy they are to be a man without people telling them that they’re bad or evil for it, go to the gym and get muscle-y, be stealth if they want to, and so much more.

trans men are not misogynistic for transitioning, they’re not betraying the queer community or women, and their existence shouldn’t make you feel threatened.

mwah i love masculine trans men so much ♡ never ever feel guilty for being a man
