It was very like ‘better get down in a cellar, ma, storm’s abrewing.’ I had a pretty significant change in the way that I dressed and mediated my appearance.” Eventually, Ortberg said, “I became fascinated and surprised by my own face and my appearance, I found myself looking at myself constantly and there was this desire on the one hand for no one to notice and on the other hand for someone to say ‘I know exactly what you’re doing and I’m doing it too.’ There’s something so surreal about going into my closet and finding an item of clothing I used to wear happily and enjoy how I looked in it and having none of that connection to it now. I’m wondering, how can I make decisions if I might feel that way again? I have a few items of clothing that I try on again every couple months and think ‘maybe I’ll like it again,’ like a language I used to speak. But it hasn’t happened yet.
Nah. You’re missing a whole piece of the trans experience, my friend.
There’s something called “gender euphoria” – it’s the exact opposite of gender dysphoria, and it can be a motivator for being trans! It’s not that you’re uncomfortable being cis. It’s that you’re more comfortable being trans. No discomfort involved – just greener grass on the other side of the fence.
For dysphoric folks I think that can get very hard to conceptualize, but…being trans isn’t a death sentence? Even if you are dysphoric, chances are you have experienced gender euphoria before – it’s the feeling when you see yourself wearing a binder for the first time, or when you wear a skirt for the first time, or the first time someone gets tongue-tied about whether to call you “sir” or “miss”.
It’s the first time you think “oh. So this is what it’s supposed to be like.” And you just can’t stop smiling for the rest of the day. It’s the feeling that anons are talking about when they submit good vibes.
The primary trans narrative is driven by gender dysphoria, which means they’re seeking something that feels less wrong. But gender euphoria – which is present in all of us, but is stronger and sometimes even dominant for some – is seeking something that feels more right. And both of those narratives are valid and deserving of support, and neither one of them cancels the other experience out.
i love that one old timey 1910s trans dude who has a tiny wikipedia page for himself that he earned entirely due to him starting fights in bars and being the city’s hottest casanova
Pokemon have physical differences between male and female. Pikachu is far less subtle in its gender differences. Females have a heart shape tip to their tail, while males have that v shape.
Anyway here’s trans Pikachu.
Reblog to support trans Pikachu and how happy she is about her new gender-affirming tail
PSA for short trans guys: Wolverine is 5’3" and he will physically fight your dysphoria for 1 can of beer
Another fun fact: In realities where Logan was NOT captured by Weapon X and brainwashed/given adamantium coated bones he is known as James Howlett; an openly gay badass of a man who gallivants about with his lover Hercules.
Further fun fact: Logan’s clone, X-23, who is biologically identical to him because Fuck You Jackal That Is How Cloning Works, is AFAB. So. Yeah. Hella Gay Trans Dude Wolverine is a thing.
This is a lie.
Wolvie would fight your dysphoria for half a can of beer.
danny fenton:
-wears a shirt to the water park

-chest occasionally bulges in his ghost suit
-is a trans boy
reblog this make cis people mad that im “ruining their childhood”
stable clone of him was a younger girl named danni
the series is literally about him keeping his identity a secret from his parents,believing that if they found out they’d stop loving him as their child and even kill him.
said identity is only known by his closest friends and others in the “community”.
After his college-age sister accidentally walks in on him altering his appearance and thereby learns his identity, she becomes clumsily obsessed with protecting him and being an ally.
Sam was able to disguise herself as him effortlessly.
Oh wow this…totally makes sense
Whenever i see this i reblog and remind everyone of the episode spectra was introduced. It has the biggest piece of subtext supporting this cuz its so not subtle its barely subtext
“Look at you. Not a boy,not a ghost. What are you?”
“I-i dont know!”
“Youre a freak! You dont belong anywhere!”
By the end of that episode he decides that he belongs however he chooses to belong.
