As you can see above, theyre all patterned like marine life, but theyre also reversible! One side has the pattern, the other is solid color, and they're all fun colors like blues and reds and greens, but some like the whale and tiger shark ones are more subtle grays and blacks. I have the whale shark one and the spongebob one (which was a limited run), and theyre both very well designed and printed. My spongebob one has served me for roughly four years and it hasn't worn at all.

What really matters? The binding power, and these things are great. I'm a triple D cup and with a medium I look like I have subtle pecs. They're also much less compressive than other binders due to their materials (which are mostly recycled!), so you can wear them for longer without getting sore. When I did more intensive theater and band performances, I could still act, dance, and play bari sax without getting winded or hurting myself. They're also swim tops, and I've scuba dived in these as well comfortably.

If that wasn't all, proceeds from each purchase are donated towards marine conservation and education initiatives! Purchasing shark printed ones specifically donate to shark studies and conservation orgs, parrotfish and coral prints support coral restoration initiatives, and so on. The high price tag is for a good reason.

I've actually experienced a rejection of even being able to speak on it, because I'm not binary. Did they even mean to include us in the first place????? How does this kind of thing affect non binary people specifically? "transneutral/ transandrogynous"? the ones that are xenogender too

many amazing contributors in this book!

This is part of why gender, like, persists as a concept.

A lot of people (particularly people who don't realize they're trans, and also TERFs) think that most people (especially women) HATE their genders and HATE their experience with gender.

That's really far from true. Most women like being women (cis or trans). They hate sexism for sure (unless they're a tradwife or antifeminist and don't believe it exists ig), they may have suffered tremendously due to sexism, but like. They generally do like being women.

Similarly, most men, like. Generally like being men and enjoy that they are men and enjoy being a man.

Three months later she told me she was trans, and three days ago, she told me she's now out as trans femme everywhere except at work <3

Think about it. It actually might change your life

If you are absolutely miserable being a man, you can just...stop being a man. Or realize you weren't ever actually one in the first place

A lot of trans people are absolutely SUFFOCATING under how much they hate being/"being" their assigned gender

So, reason for hope:

If "being a man" or "being a woman" is something you hate, or makes you feel miserable, or makes you hate yourself, or makes you feel like you're suffocating under the weight of it, you can literally just nope out of that

(This also absolutely applies if you read that paragraph and went "Okay I don't like it but it's not THAT bad." That's a level of feeling a lot of trans people experience but it is in no way necessary to be trans, and also the impulse to minimize things can be so strong)

You can say "Actually I'm a man" or "Actually I'm a woman." You can say "Actually I'm neither of those." You can say "Actually I'm both of those and more." You can say "Actually I don't have a gender." You can say "Actually I'm some other gender entirely." You can say "Actually fuck off with this entire concept of gender and get it away from me please." You can say whatever feels most right.

All the stuffs you can get:

This is just simply the dumbest fucking argument. Do I think trans men can pass? Obviously I do. I often pass. But you're referring to a situation in which individual people are perceiving, and therefore treating, trans people as a "class" of person they do not actually believe we belong to. That shit happens to every kind of trans person, including trans women: do you believe trans women are never closeted?

@thetiniestastronaut ding ding ding!!

I wasn't going to add this to the original post because imo it's not really a premise worth entertaining in the first place. But like. I pass! And as a passing trans man, I do still experience systemic oppression, including (but not limited to):

I work in a "pink collar" field because that's what I was always pushed towards

I am paid significantly less than both of my coworkers (one cis man, one cis woman) despite the fact that I am the only one of us who has any relevant qualifications whatsoever (not an exaggeration)

I have been denied necessary medical care because it is "for women", and my legal gender marker is "male" (both my doctors and insurance knew I was a trans man with relevant anatomy)

I have been denied top surgery revision because insurance deemed my chest "masculine enough", despite continued dysphoria. This went as far as court, where the judge decided that my dysphoria isn't "harm" and therefore doesn't "count" under state laws that are supposed to protect transgender healthcare.

I have received dehumanizing, fetishizing comments and treatment from cis and trans people alike: one (trans) person went as far as publicly joking about the ways I might masturbate. One person, nearly ten years older than me, pressured me into a relationship for this reason.

Constant threats of losing my entire career due to the bigoted conflation of Being Transgender with sexually victimizing children, and the conflation of being a trans man specifically with "brainwashing" young girls into transitioning.

And I'm just limiting this to like, real-life examples off the top of my head that I can definitively say were/are transphobic. There have been plenty of things that I can only say were probably related, or that can't be summarized in a tidy little bullet point.

A passing stealth trans man still needs gender affirming medical care, other medical care, and legal rights.

Which trans people as a class do not have easy access to.

"Male privilege" describes someone who has access to all of them, and also is not at risk of losing conditional favourable interpersonal treatment nor have his gender revoked.
