    This legit makes me want to cry because I have *never* seen a picture of an older trans man naked.  It’s always young guys, usually much younger than me.  It’s like we don’t have a future, an adulthood, a middle age, an old age.  It’s like we just stop.

    As a trans man who’s well past the age (and transition status) of ~sexxay tranz boiz~, pictures like this give me some kind of hope.  We’re not just one image stuck in time, snapshot of a skinny white andro urban-queer young trans dude with perfect top surgery scars, poster boys for young radical queerdom.  We’re not all Youth.  We live in more than two dimensions, and one of them is time.

    Older queers tend to fall off the map full stop.  Trans people, even more so.  But we don’t disappear once we stop being, basically, fashionable. Supporting our young people is important, but we need to show them we have a future, too.

    I literally cannot envision my own future.  There are no images of older men like me.

    One image obviously can’t address all the lacks in representation, much less one image of a hot skinny (apparently?) white man.  But just to have that one extra factor in there, of age, it’s - it’s important. 

    More, please.

    Bridges usually go right over water – they don’t even touch the surface. Surprisingly, if you submerge the vast majority of the structure under water, allowing pedestrians to effectively travel between the waves, it makes the whole experience of using a bridge much more exciting. Moses may have thought of it but it’s taken about 3,000 years for us to catch up, all thanks to Dutch architects Ro & Ad.

    PSA for anyone who wants to compliment strangers:

    insoulated:

    If your head isn’t shoved too far up your ass, you’ve probably heard that many people, ladies in particular, don’t appreciate being called at in the street. ”I’m doing my best not to be the proverbial Nice Guy, or the asshole yelling incomprehensibly out of a car,” you say. “Sometimes, I would really like to let a stranger know that I like something about them, though! How do I do that without being a creep?” Well! Here’s an example from something that happened to vessellated and me the other day. We were walking up the street past some cars stopped at a light. This one dude in his car proceeded to:

    • Wave at us enthusiastically
    • Smile
    • Wait until we had slowed down and obviously given him our attention, before
    • Rolling down his window and cheerily telling us he liked our (colourful) jeans

    This guy used friendly rather than aggressive non-verbal communication, waited for us to initiate further contact, and complimented our fashion rather than our bodies. He made himself an appealing person to interact with, and showed respect for us. He focused on something we do, not a passive attribute of our bodies, framing us as people, not objects.

    Did this guy think we were hot? Was he secretly thinking scandalously graphic sexual things about us? I don’t know! I don’t really care! He certainly didn’t think it was vital for us to know his opinion regarding our fuckability! It was just a pleasant interaction that made us feel good! And, what’s more, that’s the kind of behaviour that might actually lead to me striking up a conversation with a person. Maybe even get my flirt on, if I were single.

    Aim to be like this dude, and you’ll soon find yourself able to compliment people right, left, and centre!

    That part where, after you make an opening social sally, you wait for the other person(s) to acknowledge and turn their attention on you before you continue, is SO KEY.  And if your attempt to attract their attention results in them ignoring you, TAKE THAT AS THE COMMUNICATION IT IS and leave them alone.  Another day, they might be in the mood to hear the opinions of or make smalltalk with a stranger - if you respect their right to decline such interactions today.
