#transmasculine — Public Fediverse posts

#introduction #intro

Hi, It's Erosdiscordia/Mystery Babylon/Val. This is my new main account. I've been on the Fediverse since late 2018. Feel free to follow-request, especially if you actually have a bio and some posts.

I currently live in Southwestern #Virginia, though I plan on moving to #Baltimore, MD around the beginning of 2027. I'm #transmasculine and #bisexual, white, leftist, and in my late 40s.

I'm into a ton of things, many of which I post about here -- #trans and #lgbtq thoughts, #writing and the #scifi novel series I'm working on, my #cats and #aquariums, and very occasionally some Linux or tech question. Also, my overload of hobbies: #indieweb, #ttrpgs (I'm currently in a Daggerheart campaign), #reading, #BloodBowl, #miniatures and #miniPainting, #Sims4, #artCards, #zines, #music and #tattoos. I'm not active in fandom, but I'll always be a #MDZS / #TheUntamed stan. Trigun made me gay.

Things will mostly be R-rated or below, and I use CWs. I don't tend to shitpost, but I might boost some.
Everything I post is human-created, and always will be.

Early Access: Transmasc apologies for #malePrivilege: do we need them?

There are limited studies on how #transmasculine people experience the harms of #sexist and #patriarchal views, but speak to any transmasc person, and they’ll be able to tell you how common those harms are. Anxiety or trauma from these experiences may be why some transmascs believe they can’t transition without becoming an oppressor.

And one more side note before I go to bed... I have a serious crush on a woman I know. Only problems are, she doesn't know I'm trans, and I don't know what her sexuality is. So... I don't know if I have a chance there, or if I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Side note, I just can't stand when people use feminine terms for me anymore. I don't like knowing they see me as a woman. It hurts. But why?? I guess I know why. I'm a trans dude of some sort. Or so I think. But the fact that I don't know for sure if I am trans, or, if so, what flavor of trans per say, leaves me so confused and hanging in the balance. I can't solve this.

And is my apathy/amotivation/what have you, due to my being closeted trans/in denial? Or maybe because of my meds? Idk. Just felt like I needed to vent. As usual, if anyone has any advice for me, I'd be happy to hear it, but whatever is cool.

The more I wait on this, the more stuck I get. My life force, as in motivation and drive to do anything, to be inspired, to be productive, feels like it is sapping and ebbing away. My good feelings come back a bit from time to time, but it always gets weaker, and not as long or frequent as before. I can't move forward with my life until I know who I am, who I'm putting out there.

It's just weird. I feel like I am coming to a proverbial fork in the road here. Like, there is a reckoning with myself on the horizon. Something has to happen, has to change. Some sort of gender transition, be it social or medical or both, just looks better and better by the day. But I feel so much shame, guilt, and fear over it + like I am betraying people who know me a certain way.

I don't even know if I could explain why I want to be a man, or feel like I am a man. Shouldn't there be reasons why I think/feel this way? Shouldn't there have been a bunch of clear signs all throughout my life thus far? Or have there been, and I just haven't noticed them? Maybe I am just more stupid and unobservant than I thought I was, and just hadn't seen it for what it was.

Am I a misogynist if I think it's cool to be a man? Or that I would feel better/cooler if I personally was a man? And if people of any gender can act, talk, dress, express, and do things that any other gender can, what do I have to base this off of? How would I ever know whatever the hell I am?

Or, what if I am afraid of the possibility of me being in a sapphic relationship someday? That wouldn't exactly make a whole lot of sense though, because I don't have anything against gay people. In fact, that would probably be the easier path, to just be a gay cis woman, or a bi cis woman, or whatever.

Or what if I am just misogynistic, and running away from being a woman? I don't exactly think that's the case, as I know women are just as capable of anything as men, and no one has ever made me feel like I was inferior for being female or anything. But, then again, what if it is just a subconscious thing?

Sigh. It's just so confusing. It's all so confusing. Plus, I'm always doubting myself. Totally in denial. Imposter syndrome. Like, what if it's just me looking for a way to fit in or something? Well, there's gotta be easier ways than that. Maybe it's just neurodivergency making me think I'm trans? They do go hand in hand a lot, after all.

I'm so frustrated with people in my life thinking I'm a cis woman. But, then again, I can't really blame them. I haven't been forthcoming with my transness. I'm too embarrassed, scared, ashamed. And afraid they won't believe me, or like me as much. But I can't deal with living a lie like this. Every day it seems more and more like the hole I'm digging for myself gets deeper.

Debating on what I should do for my next haircut? It desperately needs a trim regardless. But I just don't know how short to go. I've never had it shorter than a bob before, and part of me wants to try a medium mullet, but the other part doesn't see anyone wrong with me having longer hair as a guy. Plus, what if I got it shorter and didn't like it? (Well, I guess it does grow back, though.)

Yesterday, I read the lovely queer novella "The Longest Night" by EE Ottoman.

A historical Winter/Christmas setting in New York City and Upstate New York in 1908 with two trans masculine protagonists. I can recommend it.

At the time I found it, the ebook (56 pages) was available for free.
