please, please, please remember that this "hating transmascs" and "kill all TMEs" bullshit is just a few edgy weirdos on the internet who enjoy saying inflammatory things for shock value.

transfems are not your enemy, and YES, you do actually need to unlearn transmisogyny. Not because you're transmasc, but because we live in a transmisogynistic society.

transfems are not a hivemind, there's no broader transfem consensus that transmascs are Evil Privileged Abusers, but the small group of people who think that way WANT you to believe that they are representative of trans women everywhere. they're super not. they really are just a handful of angsty people online looking for someone to pick on.

all trans people have more commonalities than differences. there aren't two distinct species of trans people from two different planets, there are just trans people with a wide diversity of experiences and walks of life. we are all affected by the same systems of oppression.

‘Feast For Precious Hearts’ 🕸🍒🕊🌺🌬

GUYS!!!!!!!!! my commissions are up and running! I run out of savings (again...) and I'm also running out of food. Help out your (not-so) local Venezuelan artist to get groceries!!!!! I'd owe you my eternal gratitude...

If you're interested, check out the form below! (Includes TOS, DO's and Won'ts)

1.) As a trans gym bro, I need people to know that most gym bros are natty (meaning natural, as in not using anabolic steroids) and natty guys are very proud of being natty. Going up to a gym bro and asking him for illegal drugs is a dangerous and terrible idea if he's using, but if he's natty, there's like a 5% chance he's chill and takes it as a compliment on his physique and a 95% chance he's going to be incredibly offended and outraged. Getting yolked naturally requires consistent hard work over time, and implying that someone cheated to get the results they've spent at least five years working towards is near-guaranteed to piss them off. Do not do this.

2.) Illegal gym bro testosterone is dangerous. Some of it is black market and laced with other substances that purport to enhance muscle growth. Grey market stuff can be tampered with or improperly stored, either in ways that denature the medication or expose it to bacteria. I know a cis gym bro who got a very scary blood infection because he thought the 28-day disposal rule for multidose injection vials was just a suggestion, and he knew other guys who'd never had an issue with it so he assumed he'd be fine too. There are health risks that come with self-dosing and beginning new medications without regular monitoring or formal administration training, which can be mitigated through public trans educational resources and personal research efforts, but beyond that, the U.S. government can level serious criminal penalties against people who get testosterone without a prescription. Depending on what state laws are involved, illegally possessing a Schedule III controlled substance can constitute a misdemeanor, a felony with a required minimum prison sentence of a year, or a multi-year sentence with mandatory hard labor, potentially with steep fines, and almost certainly in a women's prison.

3.) The political climate is so hostile to trans people already. Trans people already get arrested at high rates and face elevated police brutality. A 2024 ACLU article cites recent LGBTQ+ survey data reporting that more than one quarter of trans respondents report experiencing police violence, with Black trans people reporting the most violence. The article also states that almost one third of trans respondents had been arrested. Law enforcement and politicians already look for reasons to hurt us, and freely admitting to felonies on the internet is not the move. I've heard reports of mail-order HRT being seized in some states, and seen an uptick in transphobic social buzz about DIY HRT. HRT Cafe shut down this spring after an attack, which is terrible for trans people in the UK. Multiple trans people I know who get prescription HRT shipped to them have recently had a package seized and were only able to avoid trouble because they could prove that it was prescribed. My friend got threatened by the police and, fortunately, he had his old prescription vial to show them. Can you imagine how, if that was grey or black market T, there might have been a different outcome? Can you think of any reasons why, when I see blogs encouraging transmascs seeking DIY T to DM them for help, my cop senses start tingling?
