Thanks. Yeah trans men get so much shit, I don’t even wanna get into it… What would you consider a traditional male space? The only place I can think of is the gym, but women go there too.
Either way… I don’t really go out much though, tbh. I’m mostly a loner, just go to work, read books, play video games. Sometimes go out to a concert if I have the money. I don’t have any IRL friends.
In my experience, guys just see me as some gay femboy instead of a trans man. I don’t really come out unless it becomes relevant or I meet another queer person.

and with GPS you can put directions in the app into your own native language. i’ve had a few Uber drivers who did that.
so i guess the answer is… sort of? they don’t need to be fully fluent, but fluent enough. as long as they can prove they can get the job done, it shouldn’t matter.

i think we still need these terms, but it’s all in how they’re used. for example when this host says “…unless it’s a part of my journey as a human being” and that’s how i feel it should/could be relevant. sometimes trans people are just shooting the shit and are comfortable enough with each other to talk about their transition journey in this way, especially when describing problems they might have had along the way.
i agree it’s not really something i would share with a nosy cis person or a nosy anyone. but this is like putting an unnecessary blanket restriction on how people should discuss gender when the community is a spectrum and not everyone is uncomfortable with these terms.
the transmasc anthem tbh
i actually thought this was a transmasc meme at first
Nah, not at all, some trans men do identify as femboys or even twinks. Personally I don’t get too into specific labels like that but I don’t care if others see me that way. It can actually be the opposite of dysphoric, because the transphobic types will assume I’m a man who’s trying to be femme or transitioning to a woman and emphatically call me sir like to remind me I’m a man, lol.
Sometimes openly, yeah, I’ve had a coworker ask me if I was gay after weeks of like clearly wanting to say something. But usually it’s more subtle, like in the way some guy in a group will talk to the other guys different from the way I get spoken to, or they share looks between each other like “this fuckin guy, eh.” Or they’ll joke about how I might need help lifting something because of how lanky I am. I’m obviously the bookish nerdy type not into sports and going to the gym, and I don’t have a big build.
In my experience the treatment isn’t that bad. It’s like any time you’re out among people you don’t know, people are just polite. Maybe if I was on a sports team or went to the gym a lot it’d be different.
