Any enby/transmasc poets out there, let your voice be heard ! :)

🏳️‍⚧️ Transgender men and non binary people who identify as masculine. This post is for you.

Let’s come together and ink 🖋️ our truths.

📣📣📣

Calling all trans masculine verse alchemists who navigate the spectrum of manhood, the nuances of identity, the weightlessness of freedom, and the power of self-discovery through verse. As a fellow traveler on this self-guided path, I'm envisioning a collaborative collection a ebook where we can lay down the raw, unfiltered poetry that emerges from our unique experiences.

⚧️⚧️⚧️

Let’s share the quiet moments of self-recognition to the bold declarations of identity, from the joys of affirmation to the battles fought and won. We can craft a tapestry of trans masculine lives in ink. A brand new collaboration and fresh project, not a part of my minority based project “voices for the Voiceless”. If your poetic voice resonates with the multifaceted reality of being a trans guy, and you're ready to forge something powerful and authentic together, connect with me at

Let's make this collection a testament to our strength and our stories. Non-binary people who identify as masculine also are welcome.

Much love 🖤

Bit telling that for years and years evangelical religious extremists have been allowed on university campuses with their bullhorns and horrific imagery where they harass students into physical altercations and when students complain to the university’s administration they just shrug their shoulders citing freedom of speech but when those same tuition-paying students start protesting against war and genocide they call SWAT

This feels so religious trauma coded and I can't unhear it and can't believe I haven't found anyone talk about this interpretation of the song yet

I’m still mad about something that happened on tiktok last week and I want to do a post about it and explain an aspect of transphobia I’ve observed.

A cis user made a video asking that trans people share more banger music that they make, but clarified saying “by trans people, I mean trans women” because trans men only make that “sad ukulele” music. There was much discourse, he doubled down and said trans men couldn’t take a joke, other trans people threw the offended transmascs under the bus, or insisted that they can also make club music, yada yada.

I want to know if the queers who haven’t been queer as long as I have know that this exact drama was had with gays and lesbians. Do you know that some transphobia is repackaged homophobia and lesbophobia? I feel like that’s something we should be allowed to say and examine without someone shutting you down and insisting you’re conflating the gays and transes.

But yeah, for decades the joke has been that gay men are the fun flamboyant ones that make good art and dance music, and that lesbians are angry and dress ugly and make sad folk music. It’s pretty much an identical bias and resulting disrespectful jokes.

And it’s shit! I’m not going to let anyone, let alone a cis person, get away with transphobia just because it’s directed at trans men. It’s rude and harmful to devalue our art, and our art doesn’t need to be easily consumable to you. We’re allowed to be pissed and offended when you write us off, minimize the harm you’ve done, and exclude us from the conversation. It’s obvious when you only tolerate the queers who can serve you, and that you don’t actually care to listen or learn about our lives, struggles, and art.
