Successful trans men

Part 2 Part 3

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

“Maybe I should just try the ingredients on their own first,” I think, imagining myself blankly staring at the wall while chewing a dry piece of lettuce in my apartment in total silence

Being a picky eater as an adult is so hard because I’m TRYING to expand my pallet, but every time I look up a recipe it’s like “this meal’s so quick and easy! It only takes 3 1/2 hours of prep, 6 hours of cook time, and 45 minutes to plate :) There are fifty ingredients, half of which you’ve literally never had in your life :) so if you don’t like this recipe or you forget to make it, I guess you’ll just have to throw out $50 worth of food that you have literally no other use for!! Have fun, super easy for new cooks, super fun and easy and quick :))))”

I NEED A NAME FOR THEM THROW NAMES AT ME, HIT ME WITH YOUR NAMES

I love seeing a post I have absolutely no context for.

Like one of my mutual’s mutual’s mentioning their blorbos by name. But I’ve never heard of the characters, so what do I do? Well I go to the tags, of course. Surely there will be some context in the tags, something I can google to get further information.

But the tags are a string of incomprehensible acronyms and more characters I have never heard of. “#japsabelle and ameileian fr,” you say. “#my favorite hgspmal characters,” you say. “#me in episode 15 of PLOMBOAS when jamblamber kisses kolmbem,” you say.

And I stand there, and I stare at your post. And I do not know what it means. I do not understand these strange words and letters on my dash. But I’m glad that whoever your blorbos are, they bring you this much joy.

sometimes I forget standing up isn’t painful and difficult for most people so I’ll be watching something like game changer and see the people standing behind their podiums the whole episode and think ‘wow don’t they need to sit down. how can they still think coherent thoughts’ and then I’m like oh. yeah. I have a disease

Help me settle an argument with my partner

Dude for real though your worth as a human being is not dependent on how productive or “useful” you are. You could do nothing but lay in bed all today and you’d still be worthy of respect and care. Bro you are a living breathing human being and your life has inherent value. Like straight up you don’t have to do something impossible or world changing with your time on earth in order for you to matter. We are all specks of dust in the cosmos and the fact that you exist at all means you are important. Dude you don’t have to earn the right to live bro, like I swear bro, like no cap.

Any other chronically ill folks have advice on dealing with hot flashes? My autoimmune disease is kicking my ass rn
