pls support trans girls and trans women who like traditionally masculine things
no seriously please reblog this ive seen so many posts saying to support trans boys and trans men who like traditionally feminine things and those posts are good!! i love them!!
but i have never in my life seen a post saying to support masculine trans girls and trans women or trans girls and trans women who like traditionally masculine things and its really important to understand that showing support for trans women in any form is just as important as showing support for trans men so please, please reblog this.
support trans women and trans girls. support trans women and trans girls who like traditionally masculine things. trans women and trans girls who like traditionally masculine things are not any less valid than trans women and trans girls who don’t!!
Also transboys who like traditionally feminine things
this post is for trans girls and trans women
i addressed the posts about trans boys and trans men above
kindly keep this a positivity post for trans girls and trans women, and if you’d like one for trans boys and trans men, then make your own
this is really important because it’s a huge part of transmisogyny and the specific violences that trans women and transfeminine people face
trans women in particular are required to maintain an extraordinary level of traditional femininity, including flawless makeup, designer dresses perfectly tailored, the works–or they’ll be targeted with severe social stigma, not to mention actual physical violence.
yes, there’s pressure for trans men not to be feminine. Largely because there’s pressure for all men not to be feminine. Largely because our society treats feminine things as inferior. Which means that–surprise, surprise–trans MEN do not have our identities and interests policed the way trans WOMEN do, and do not face the same penalties for violating traditional gender roles
protect trans women and trans girls who like traditionally masculine things
