Lion Equals Square

this speaking as a cis person. Nothing brings me more joy seeing people find gender euphoria in becoming a mediocre representation of humanity. And I mean that so genuinely. Local boy finds joy and fulfillment wearing a cargo shorts and t-shirt combo. Local girl has transitioned to look like someone's disheveled aunt, has never been happier. Local person experiences gender euphoria rocking the world's worst bowl-cut. Without a scap of irony, this shit makes me see the wonder and whimsy in just, being a human. An average, person going through their day-to-day, is a wondrous thing? That's amazing. And heteronormativity has stripped these experiences of their joy. Like you're right, wearing a basic girlypop skirt should make my heart sing. Why not? Why are these expressions lesser because they're normal? All this to say. Shoutout to all the basic bitches out there. Yes that polo shirt does make you look like a divorced golfer dad. Yes, that too is kind of a slay, now that I think of it.

obsessed with this man...

i am going to tell you guys something and it's going to sound made up but i need you to believe me just this once

the staff at the café i frequent have a fucking betting pool going about what gender i am

i told my ex about this and they admitted that they didn't know if i was transmasc or transfem until our fourth date and they figured it wasn't their business so they just didn't ask

????????

I think some people would kill in cold blood to have whatever gender presentation you have going on

These tags made me snort at work.

You can read more of my comics on Autostraddle.

It's been 1 year since the birth of she/sir, happy birthday to the genders.

it's literally all about having a primary public gender and a secondary personal gender

angel with pronouns be like "he/hymn"

DON'T be FUNNIER THAN ME

Found this in the comments of Shaun's latest video on Andrew Tate, in which he talks pretty extensively about how important it is for men to find ways to be confident in their genders without trying to adhere to, or enforce, anyone else's ideas of manhood on anyone.

Highly recommend checking it out.

Anyway. I rarely see folks talk about the positive impact transmascs have on manhood as a whole, and I think it's important to acknowledge and celebrate that.

Happy World Coming Out Day! As usual, my workaround for vulnerable, personal conversations is "I'll just make a comic about it and give it to everyone all at once," would recommend 👍

no more "female and nonbinary" groupings, no more of this. like i get it i do i understand the impulse but no, no thank you, enough, these two things are not in fact necessarily related at all and i don't want to see them lumped together anymore, it is a bad classification system that fails to contextualize the actual diversity of nonbinary people and how masculinity is absolutely included

"Female and nonbinary" is just a roundabout way of saying "Everyone who isn't a man". This idea that a) men are inherently evil and have to be sequestered away from everyone else and b) nonbinary people are just Women Lite™ is fucking horseshit and does justice to nobody.

Stop this shit.
