People think it’s okay to treat me like I’m just a tomboy or a girl in costume. It’s not a costume, I’m not a tomboy. Just a boy in a world who doesn’t take me seriously when I say “stop calling me she”. I’ve been told my voice makes it confusing but I’ve been on T for 2.5 years now so to me it’s changed but everyone still sees me as a girl and refuses to respect me as (1) a guy and moreover (2) a person.

cis men appear really confident, blunt, quick to decide and sure of themselves. i look like im like a 14 year old boy but i feel like im taken more seriously when i say things stern and look like i know what im talking about. be confidently you and if youre not taken seriously show them why they should. cis men “prove” things. its annoying, but when your body, face and words seem sure of yourself everyone else follows.

I feel like when people talk about “trans folks” they’re often largely referring to trans women, and as a trans man I feel like more of an afterthought. It’s like we don’t exist. I mean, it feels like I can’t even use dating apps because there’s nothing out there for me. There seems to be spaces targeted towards every community but seemingly somehow trans men end up ostracized from the trans community which leaves us with nowhere to go.

Now that i think abt it this is true bc ppl dont really talk abt trans men, I wouldn’t say yall are a minority just a group of people that dont get as much acknowledgment as trans women. And that is heavily bias btw bc i believe being a trans woman is more excepted then being a trans man. I also believe ppl need to grow up tf up and be respectful to everyone. If their excuse is “your voice is confusing” then they simply need to get their brain out of their ass.

My hb is trans and anytime he has something important to say like when he said “ i want to get into wrestling” everyone thought he was kidding and used to joke and say “nobody wants to hurt a little girl” it would rlly piss me off but i get it. Honestly society needs to get better at being more open minded atp

Because of the fact that I feel like people still see us as women. and because of that it’s like no matter what i’ll still be a girl and also the fact that they think it’s crazy that people who were born girls don’t want to be one. I think because they still see us as women, and we don’t identify as that, we get ostracized because we don’t want to cater to the agenda.
