Re: Non-Fandom Secrets

[(Anonymous)]

I recently came across the tumblr of some person that I find plain ridiculous.
They're the most stereotypical tumblr ftm - meaning plenty self descriptors as a ~gay softboi uwu~, the only attempt at "transition" a pastel coloured pixie cut, several sets of pronouns and totally so gay despite allegedly being in a poly relationship with a chick and and a guy etc. etc.

So far so standard - I'm just rolling my eyes at those people at most by now because they're so dime a dozen on tumblr. But what makes this one ridiculous is how they list "doing drag" under hobbies and keep gushing about how great they pass as female.

Seriously? You are proud that you pass as a convincing chick when you have a completely unaltered feminine biologically female body? Come on.

I'm going to guess they were very young.

My secret is that I automatically assume any ftm and nb people on tumblr to be special snowflakes in the unfortunate fandom environment where your opinions only count if you're Oppressed (tm). I don't think they're lying and I don't think they're claiming these identities just to be heard. But I'm 80% sure that if my fifteen year old self had been on tumblr today, she'd be one of them because I wasn't very good at being a fifteen year old girl as society demanded I be.

Apparently early 20s but that's still young enough.

And... yeah, I agree. What you said and also it's a bit too much of a coincidence imo that a lot of tumblr ftms and genderfluids are people who are absolutely obsessed with yaoi/MxM shipping and coincidentally are always gay ftm (etc.) ... but only ever seem to be in relationships with other tumblr ftms. (I remember this cringey couple who were interviewed for a documentary as a ftm couple with one of them pregnant who only appeared in LesMis slash ship cosplay. And there are a lot of those.)

god, it's sad but true, and I say this as actual gay ftm. thank god I grew out of the only curr about yaoi phase before coming out or transitioning, or I'd have been tarred with that same brush.

having been through that jungle and come out on the other side, I understand why it so commonly happens, but that doesn't mean I have any idea how to stop it from happening. echochambers are the easiest crutch for people with terrible coping mechanisms to avoid actually confronting their problems.

"echochambers are the easiest crutch for people with terrible coping mechanisms to avoid actually confronting their problems."

I feel like this is a significant problem with tumblr. There's a fine line between supportive environments and environments that just enable and exacerbate your issues because they don't call people out on their bullshit.

LOL. Chances are this person will be embarrassed about their behavior ten years from now and they'll realize how badly they wanted to fit in and feel special. It happens to most young people, this is just the tumbler version.

Ugh, typical Tumblr.
