Fun facts for non trans women about tucking and why you shouldn’t demand it from us
This guide is for cis people and trans men and nonbinary people who don’t need to tuck
- It will very easily cause us slight harm
- It will very easily cause us great pain
- It will very easily cause us permanent painful damage
- It will probably make us infertile
- It is extremely painful for many, for many it isn’t, but despite the pain we have to do it to be accepted
- Around 40% of us can’t do it because our inguinal canals are tiny like they’re supposed to be, like medically if we do this we will 100% be permanently harmed
- Why are you looking at our crotches
- Just cause heppie tytoos or whatever your new fave drag queen is can do it, doesnt mean every amab can, the drag queen is also probably in pain
- Fuck off, we don’t owe you anything
I haven’t done it so far, no one’s pointed it out, except Tumblr users who will “,just check in to see if I’m tuckin okay? I just wanna help you pass!”

Just an FYI for those in the US with insurance issues
Important information! Insurance coverage decisions are made by medically ignorant bean-counters. Until we can dismantle the whole shitty system, know how to scare them into submission.
This is like that procedure Mr. Incredible told that old lady
[ID:
Screenshot of black plain text on a white background that reads the following:
“MEDICAL HACK:
So your doctor ordered a test or treatment and your insurance company denied it. That is a typical cost saving method.
OK, here is what you do:
- Call the insurance company and tell them you want to speak with the “HIPPA Compliance/Privacy Officer” (By federal law, they have to have one.)
- Then ask them for the names as well as CREDENTIALS of every person accessing your record to make that decision of denial. By law you have a right to that information.
- They will almost always reverse the decision very shortly rather than admit that the committee is made of low paid HS graduates, looking at “criteria words,” making the medical decision to deny your care. Even in the rare case it is made by medical personnel, it is unlikely that it is made by a board certified doctor in that specialty and THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS!
- Any refusal should be reported to the US Office of Civil Rights (OCR.gov) as a HIPAA violation.”
End ID.]

Correction to original post: The US Office of Civil Rights can be reached at HHS.gov, not OCR.gov, at least as of May 2019. Here is their contact page with their national office info as well as their regional office info.

When people actively choose to misgender and deadname a trans person because they don’t like them as an individual or “they don’t deserve my respect” that’s transphobia.
Pronouns are not dependant on respect. I don’t see you all going around purposely misgendering cis people because you don’t like them.
Our pronouns are not conditional. And regardless of what kind of person the trans individual is their pronouns will never be something you have a right to deny them. Ever.
If you don’t like someone, that’s fine. But don’t use that as an excuse to be transphobic. That’s not okay.

Ok but as a dysphoric trans man the whole ‘you need dysphoria to be trans’ actually baffles me because even tho I’ve always had severe dysphoria, it didn’t actually help me figure out my gender at all. I usually dismissed my dysphoria as ‘internalized misogyny’ or just not being feminine enough, which actually just caused me worse dysphoria.
You know what made me figure out that I’m trans though? Gender euphoria. The minute I got called a ‘sir’ is the moment that I realized, “shit this feels right.” And at that point I realized that I could no longer deny the fact that I’m not a woman and that I couldn’t keep living as one.
Here’s a hot take: maybe being trans isn’t so much about how uncomfortable you can be in your DGAB, but rather how much more comfortable you can be.

GUYS I FIGURED IT OUT
I FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX THE JUMBLED POSTS
Okay, so if you’ve noticed that when you go to your front page, a lot of old posts are randomly resurfacing and your new posts are getting buried under them no matter what you do, there’s a REALLY EASY fix for it!
Just go into the resurfaced old post, and edit it in some way. In my case, I added a tag that said “test”. Any kind of edit to the post will be fine as long as you save the changes. Edit: You might not even have to edit it! Just save the post again. If you have Xkit’s mass post tagger that might work as well? I didn’t test it.
Then I reloaded my front page and behold! The old post was back in my archives where it belonged!
(Incidentally, if the theory that this behavior is caused by posts getting flagged and unflagged, then you can see which posts of mine tumblr’s bot thought were nsfw by looking at the test tag)

I was playing around with this on both my personal and TTSG. I can’t confirm or deny it’s what fixed our blog (for now) because it did not work on my personal blog so it doesn’t work for everyone, but it’s worth a shot if you’re struggling with this new Tumblr bug.
