My gender, sexuality, and womanhood are all woven into one tapestry that makes me who I am. My dysphoria stems from being agender, but it’s alleviated when I present masculine and use masculine terms. I use the term trans masc because I don’t want to start arguments on where the line for trans mascs stops and trans men starts lol

I’m only socially transitioning and considering T for minor things like body hair and a deeper voice. I THINK I could achieve the body I want with exercise and clothing and a good diet we’ll see! Anyway I hoped this helped a bit sorry for the paragraphs 🏳️‍⚧️

So you’re agender but also a trans man? Like you use trans man more as a “I am transitioning into being seen as a man.” Vs “I am a binary man..” ?

Yeah I’m “primarily” agender and have been for years so in truth I don’t actually care for gender. But this world is obsessed with the binary so I’m using it to my advantage for safety and gender validation! That’s why I feel I’m not a binary trans man specifically

I really like that as a concept, I think that’s kinda what I’m going for. Like I’m nonbinary-transmasc genderfluid but I think want to exist as a trans man in straight spaces

YES!! Also this is queer history too. A lot of butches and studs transitioned or passed as men for safety and gender expression because they still loved women in a world that hated gays
