@vv0ltz@pawb.funWhat kind of trans masc/men problems should be talked about more?
Hi again, seems like today or yesterday was transmasc visibility day, ironically though I couldn't find any info about it on DuckDuckGO browser.
I know that researches about transmasculine people are almost nonexistent or not so easily accessed on web, especially in Russian spaces, so that's why I have a very little neocities page I and my family run for Russian audience. But we're people too, can get exhausted and run out of ideas, so use this post as an outlet for your frustrations with lack of visibility and maybe I will pick some ideas for articles out of it.
For example, I mentioned lack of information in queer Russian spaces. How many articles about bottom growth (very common thing for those on T) was there in Russian? *None.* Thankfully there are plenty of articles about bottom growth in English, so all we had to do is to translate, but that's still a frustrating fact. None of the Russian trans NGOs tackled it neither, afaik
Less info is a curse and a blessing:
I didn’t realize there were even trans guys until I was 25. While trans girls are always the center of attention for ridicule and praise, trans guys always feel like an afterthought.
Which is nice because I fucking disappear if I need to. But-… sometimes it’d be nice for someone to recognize how strong and cute we are ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
Oh don’t worry! Us trans gals definitely recognize how strong and cute you are! We are just shy and struggle approaching people, but we’d love for you to show us how strong you are…
That’s an awesome thing that you’re doing.
I’m okay with the lack of visibility in my daily life because it keeps me safe. The obvious drawback is the medical side of things. Feels like I’ve had to figure a lot of stuff out by myself because the resources just aren’t there for transmascs like there are for transfemmes. Much harder to DIY as well.
The language barrier sucks and I wish you the best of luck with your neocities project. Stay safe out there.
- The lack of non-American, non-anglophone resources
- I wish we talked more about the topics that aren’t problems, too :)
