male positivity is a big problem here on tumblr. the lack of it, contasted with the love for women made me deny my identity as a trans boy. i had identified as one for ages and was so uncomfortable with the thought that i might not be accepted that i started identifying as female again. then earlier this year, i started identifying as a trans guy again, only to feel pressured into dropping the label again. ive now fully embraced that yes, i am a man.

point is, had there been more support, i would’ve felt more comfortable. tumblr is an incredibly toxic place for young men, particularly lgbt+ and mentally ill men. most support posts for men get derailed with “yeah but women are better” too, which isn’t ok.

every “men are so disgusting they should die” post makes me feel horrendous. being a trans guy is hard enough without all of this. when writing a post, please think about who you might be harming.

it also doesn’t help when people say “this excludes trans men” in their negative posts, this to me says you see us as Men Lite, Diet Males and not as “male” as cis men.

please support boys. uplift them. we deserve positivity too. i dont want anyone to go through what i did. i also just want men to feel accepted and loved on this site.

so, shoutout to trans men, gay men, mentally ill men, disabled men, autistic men, bi men, black men, to all men. we’re strong and we deserve love.
