This post is still making its rounds a year later. Wild. I tried to write a follow up, but don't have much to say, so I talked to some dope fat folks I know about sex, kink, and gender instead: shaanlashun.com/journal/fat-…
It's that time of year where my thread on sex with fat folks is going around. Which is cool! But then folks follow me, and I don't be on Twitter like that anymore. Follow me on IG instead @shaanlashun :)

I think I make a good friend, sibling, and brother, and I hate being denied of offering that space simply because of gender essentialist bullshit. I don't particularly appreciate experiencing it with other trans people because that is who I intentionally want to love. – at Lake Havasu City, AZ

There can be this awkward resistance towards us, and I think I get it, but when I don’t see the same hesitancy being extended to cis masc folks, it makes me want to ask — do you not think it is essential to be in community with us? – at Lake Havasu City, AZ

I wish people would extend friendship to trans masculine people like they do with cis men. Sometimes, I feel like I’m on the outskirts with folks unless they want to date me, and that can be fine. But, friendship matters too. – at California, USA
I'm proud of my work. Even if no one knows what all I have a hand in, even if no one appreciates my energy until they need it, even if sometimes it doesn't go according to plan. I'm really proud of the work I do in my communities and the impact I've made on people.

I'm in a group for transmasc* folks in Leather. Someone asked if anyone else struggles in all-male spaces. The responses both make me feel less alone, and make me feel very sad. Sigh.

Sometimes I wonder where I'd be in life if my brain didn't require a meltdown every few years (depression).

Alas, that's life, I suppose. We live, we learn, we grow.
It would just be cool to grow without getting branches chopped off every so often.

Shout out to everyone who constantly feels alone because their depression won't let them feel connected to anyone or anything :)

I planned on being productive today but I think I'll just stare at my mailbox til @DaShaunLH's book arrives.
Also on my reading list this month are:
"Reclaiming Our Space" x @FeministaJones
"Black Men In Leather" x Cain Berlinger
And maybe a few essays from "Black Sexual Politics."
