Hey, Cis Women Who Say "I Wish I Was A Man But Definitely Not A Trans Way, Haha! I Would Never Be A Man

Hey, cis women who say "I wish I was a man but definitely not a trans way, haha! I would never be a man :)"

I say this with all the gentleness in my heart: It is okay for you to be a man. If you want to be a man, you can just be one. You also don't have to stop being a woman to be a man. Multigender people exist. You can be a man and a woman at the same time. Or you can be just a man, or a non-binary man, or non-binary, or something entirely different. You can do and be whatever you want and whatever makes you happy.

Becoming a man is not a betrayal of womanhood and feminism. And everyone who makes you feel like it is an absolute asshole, and you should not ever listen to them. You do not have to push your own happiness aside for other peoples' comfort.

If you want to be a man, try it out! See where it gets you. Maybe it turns out that you really weren't trans, or not a trans man but something else entirely, and that's fine, too. Maybe it turns out you are a trans man. In any case, following those thoughts might get you to a happier and better place in the end. And if you turn out to be happier as a man than you were as a woman, that is wonderful.

Please don't feel forced to stay a cis woman for feminism - any feminism that mistreats or hates trans men and transmasculine people is bad feminism. Being a trans man or transmasc is not a moral failure.

Trans manhood and masculinity are wonderful, and you deserve happiness. And if you find that happiness in manhood/masculinity, you don't deserve to be shamed or harassed for it, and you should not be made to feel the need to put yourself down for it, either.

if i time travelled back to the past medieval peasants would assume that a dashing knight was approaching when they heard the jingling of metal on metal, only to be brought face to face with the disappointing sight of my 5'2 jewellery laden gay ass

I love being trans.

And I'll always love it, even if I find out I'm not.

I'll never regret chasing such a beautiful dream like forming the self to what you want to see, no matter what others say or do.

I am beautiful.

Being trans is beautiful.

Being trans is strength a million times over.

I love you Trans People! We are stars and to stars we will return, bright and shining!! 🌟

I am in love with every aspect of me and every aspect of you, and we will live tans hand in trans hand forever.

THAT'S US!!! Oh my god so cool to see it covered on tumblr!

It’s not being widely reported on yet, but there’s a massive rally in support of trans youth and in opposition to trumps trans youth care ban happening in new your right now

We aren’t alone y’all. These last few weeks have been hard and it took some time for people to start organizing a response, but people are standing up and fighting for us.
