#multitransitional

Friendly reminder using a text design from my Redbubble.

[ID: Text on a black background, using the trans and intersex colors. It state the following:

"AFAB/AMAB =/= anatomy!

AFAB/AMAB =/= social treatment!

It only describes the letter on your birth certificate.

Be inclusive.

Say "people with [body part]."

Say "people socially imposed as male/female."

Stop forgetting that surgery, HRT, and intersexuality exist!"

Multitransitional

[PT: Multitransitional / END PT]

When one is transitioning in multiple directions and/or identifies with multiple different trans- related labels (i.e: Transmascfem, being transmasc and transneu, etc). This is an alternative flag. The original flags are linked.

HATE transmedicalism for making me believe that I couldn’t just get top surgery without going all the way, like. Idk I wanted to stop Testosterone as soon as I woke up from my mastectomy and that’s when I knew i was just. A cisgender girl who had dysphoria abt her chest. I don’t think I ever had any issues with my body otherwise. But transmedicalism made me believe that made me ‘bad’, a ‘faker’, or worse, a ‘transtrender’).

BUT at the time I was kind of entrenched in transmedicalist-adjacent communities who shut that shit down when I brought it up.

Years later? In the end repressing it doesn’t work. So YES it is ok to do what you want.

Cisgender but dysphoric? Me too! That’s neat.

Transgender but non-dysphoric? Not a contradiction at all.

Non-dysphoric but you DO still want to medically transition? Perfectly fine!

Dysphoric but do NOT want to medically transition? Also perfectly fine!

From the start, you are forced to pick between the labels transmasculine and transfeminine based on your AGAB. From then on, if you don't visibly present as the side you are transitioning to, you are seen as woman-lite or man-lite until others consider your transition complete, in which case you'll just be treated as a binary trans person.

Subvert this system in any way and your identity becomes scrutinised.

If you use a label like "transneutral" or "transxenine", expect doubts about whether your experience is real, or to still be asked if you're male or female ('transfem' or 'transmasc'/'TMA' or 'TME') so that they can categorise you still.

If you're multitrans, you will be told you're co-opting labels and either treated as a confused transmasc or a confused cis woman (yes, even if you're perisex AMAB).

And obviously if you're a AFAB transfem enby or an AMAB transmasc enby, you're actually just a cis woman/cis man, because you're 'not transitioning'. Damn, I thought we left the truscum rhetoric behind but apparently not.

[And you're always goin to do "but what about (those) cis men? 🥺"]

I literally have no idea what you're referring to, anon.

Are you referring to the fact that I bring up cistrans men (ie; cisgender transsex men, some multigender men, etc) when talking about trans men?

Are you referring to the fact that I bring up intersex cis men who may share the struggles of peritrans men?

Are you referring to this post [link] which is literally about how trans man =/= man with periods, and cis man =/= man without periods? And has cis men as one of the main talking points from the very start? And is about the hatred of men in general, not just trans men?

Because if thats what you are referencing, then no, I'm not going to stop. I am going to continue to include cistrans men, intersex cis men, and (when appropriate) pericis men.

That can either mean transitioning in multiple directions at the same time (transmascfem, transmascneu, transfemneu, transneuxen, transmascnull, transxenfem, transmascfemneu, etc.) and/or having multiple consecutive transitions that you consider to all be significant (FtMtF, MtFtM, FtMtFtM, MtFtMtF, FtMtX, MtFtX, XtFtM, XtMtX, FtXtMtX, MtXtF, etc.). Multitrans is an opt-in label, so not everyone in either group will consider themselves multitransitional.

I wanted to make this because I’m (probably?) multitrans myself and I was having a difficulty finding dedicated blogs for the concept. I was hoping I could make a blog for sharing our experiences and stories.
