LGBTQ+ Tik Toks for when your gender is still cooking

Hi! I’m Andromeda (She/They)! Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the video!! :)
As many of you have heard I’m now selling merch which includes a variety of different designs. The store is to help pay for my transition and save up for affording bottom surgery. There are stickers, pins, and magnets which are sold through Redbubble and I have shirts, sweaters, hoodies, crop tops, and tote bags which are being sold on Teespring. As I said, merchandise sales will largely go to help pay for my transition, but I’m also planning to donate 10% of the sales to LGBTQIA+ charities and organisations (a percent I plan to increase over time as I get closer to my transition goal) and another 10% to funding for the channel. I’m really happy with the merch designs and I hope you take the time to check them out!

For those that don’t know the Queer Resource is intended as a comprehensive resource for queer people and allies to utilize. The purpose of this document is to provide a place that queer people and those outside the community can find educational information, learn about queer terminology and history, find resources and LGBTQIA+ charities and organizations that they can donate too, small queer businesses to support, and much more. The reason for the creation of this document is that there is a lack of representation for queer people in media. There is also a lack of educational materials on queer history and LGBTQIA+ issues, and it is often difficult for people to seek out educational content, learn about LGBTQ+ history, and ways that people can support the community. It can also be difficult to find media without the significant presence of harmful stereotypes and biases and I want this to be a stepping point for the more widespread availability of healthy queer media and educational sources. This is a document that will grow over time as I revise and add to the content. As of now, despite the 40 pages of content, it is in its beginning stages and a lot of information is missing, but this will be filled in over time! I hope you find this helpful and feel free to share it with whoever you think may benefit from the resource.

I transcribed this section of p.45, from Females by Andrea Long Chu. (7:32) "In the United States, the man known as the father of gynaecology, J. Marion Sims, built the field in the antebellum South operating on enslaved women in his backyard, often without anaesthesia-or, of course, consent. As C. Riley Snorton has recently documented, the distinction between biological females and women as a social category, far from a neutral scientific observation, developed precisely in order for the captive black woman to be recognised as female-making Sim's research applicable to his women patient in polite white society-without being granted the status of social and legal personhood. Sex was produced, in other words, precisely at the juncture where gender was denied. In this sense, a female has always been less than a person" (Andrea Long Chu, 2019)

[@4651adri]

Trans men are women, that's way they are oppressed and suffer vi0lence just as any other woman aut there. Redfems don't say there's something inherently vi0lent in men, it's gender (as a social construct) that makes them like that and a society they benefit from. Also, you can't be trans and NB, given that a transition is always binary. You go from one thing to another.

[@knowledge_leaf]

I had several lengthy conversations with myself about parts of moony.maroon's videos, some of which were disagreeing with points and explaining why, but I very much appreciate the overall message. Though I don't think most cishet people would really understand half of what was talked about, would need far more explaining, but that's what length conversations are for.

[@Kamekaze.]

Howdy. Could someone help me out here? When ‘mooney maroon’ says Lesbians can be attracted to trans men… I don’t really understand that. It might just be my skewed perspective as a pan person but do they mean to refer to lesbianism as a more broad sociological identitarian group? Or in the sense of “women who like women”. If its not the former than I’m hardly sure how that works. Like if there was a trans woman and a dude then that’d be Hetero relationship not a homo one right? Is it just more of a gynosexual/gynoromantic relationship? ‘Gyno/Gyne’ in this instance meaning femininity. But even then thats flawed in a way because not all lesbians are attracted to “femininity” because ‘femininity’ is sort of a nebulous concept. If anyone could explain this too me I’d be very grateful.

[@Shirukagiri-P]

yes, i'm also confused and opposing to what the video said i don't want to stay confused, i want to learn!

[@gooeater1544]

I would like to know too because the word lesbian literally means non-men attracted to non-men. And trans men are men. It includes enbies and especially masculine people and multi-gender ppl but not strict men. I really dont like that he equalized gender identity with gender expression, pronouns, and AGAB.. every explanation I see from it is really confusing and just says "well because they say so, labels are dumb" which..... ehhhh.

For the stuff around 20:40. My boyfriend tells me in all honesty that he knows and values me as a non-binary person but since I am male presenting lot of times, it’s hard for him to not SEE me as a man. And I think that is valid, since it’s not easy to overcome what you experienced and learned about gender for over 40 years. Especially when it’s subconscious things like how a person looks and how you connect it to gender. I appreciate his effort because I know he constantly gives a lot to overcome himself - and also because our native language doesn’t offer gender neutral options, it’s harder to express the relationship to others without giving a big essay.

It's an added bonus of connecting with someone, showing you're truly interested in who they are over what you first think they are.

[@falconstudios146]

That first moony.maroon one really hit home. As a trans lesbian in a long-standing relationship with a now trans man, I have been PLAGUED by a need to justify and rationalize my affection for a person I cared about long before either of us were out of the closet even to ourselves. It is hard to reconcile this, and while I like to think I've made some progress, it's nice to be reminded that fitting into a box is not my job.

[@ViridianAubergine]

People sometimes forget that the point of labels is to build community and make people comfortable, and the point of relationships is to make people happy. As long as the objectives are fulfilled the "correct definition" isn't all that important. As long as the people in the relationship are happy with the way they describe it, then what right does anybody else have to piss in their cheerios?

Exactly, men are so conditioned to not cook, that when some do, they are widely praised, and made famous. While there are countless women who can cook better than the best chefs but don't have the same fame, because cooking is expected of them, and not special.

[@elicielcajigas1977]

From a straight man like myself, that's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. What man is not suppose to cook? Hell, I'm a learn how to cook my foods when I start cooking meat and brown and wild rice. I may just learn how to be a pitmaster cooking beef, chicken, seafood, lamb, but no pork.

[@lindseytheartist]

Men only cook for pay, women are expected to provide free labor

[@cloroker2058]

it's yet another facet of patriarchy and misogyny. when a woman cooks, its "expected" and "a part of her household duties"- in other words, nothing special. but when a man steps into the kitchen by choice, it's ~high art~ and ~haute cuisine~. This pattern exists all over the place if you look, but especially in things generally deemed "woman's work". The fashion industry is another example off the top of my head- when women sew clothes and care about trends it's simply expected and not worth talking about, but men dominate the fashion world and create most of those trends in the first place

[@joshuakelly9390]

Men are literally the best cooks in the world.

[@kiara-kh7nh]

That last one is how I'm coming to feel being transfemme-enby I want to be perceived as androgynous/feminine, but I have lived experiences and genuine damage that only other people who have lived as men have felt. These spaces are supposed to group people who've had shared experiences with one another, so if a trans man needs to go to a women only space, they should not be excluded, or if they need to be in men only spaces, those should be available as well. Trans people exist outside of the constructs society has been built around. If care is truly taken to help us, then the boundaries must be made fluid to allow us to get the support we need, not our identities be made rigid to place us into our roles.

20:30 yeah speaking from personal experience yeah this is an issue 😭 can relate too hard.

[@mxrporchids6411]

tiktok at 20:10 UGH. I KNOW this. Here's a rant. I'm non-binary. I use they/them pronouns. I'm fempresenting and AFAB. I'm 16 y/o and not out to anyone other than my sister and most of my friends, a ton of acquaintances who have been told I'm trans ignore it/use the right stuff for like a singular minute and then go back to the incorrect stuff and I do not have the energy or the space to correct them, and even if I did they would probably hate it and not want to talk to me anymore (I won't care about them after graduation, so idc, they choose to ignore who I ACTUALLY am and only believe a fake presentation, that's their problem not mine). Also, safety, I don't want to be outed to ppl who will call me slurs, I'd rather not increase my mental health issues and decrease my self-esteem. Of course, these acquaintances are cishet people. Although plenty of queer people fuck up all the time, don't apologize for it on their own, etc. I happen to be bisexual. I get a lot of crushes that are cishet white males, unfortunately. It's not that I'm not attracted to any other person, that just happens to be how it is. Ethnicity isn't really important though, since a lot of cultural and racial backgrounds carry the whole gender binary thing, I am attracted to anyone of any ethnicity, but the majority of people in my environment are white. Why this is unfortunate is because the vast majority of those cishet males would NEVER accept me. I KNOW I will not be seen as who I am by most people I'm attracted to. And if they do, it would take a lot of work on both parts. I understand why and it's systemic instead of personal, but I don't want to do that work. I don't want to have to expect, every single time I meet someone, to have to explain in great detail who I am, over and over and over again, with the threat of losing my interest. And seeing them fall out and give up- which people have done. People complaining about how they have to memorize new names and pronouns. It hurts. I like the idea of being the feminine role in a relationship in some situations. But I know, because of the sex I was assigned at birth, the genitals and features I bare or lack, how I present, and the lack of energy and ability to change people's minds or fight them on my basic fucking identity, that the SECOND I am perceived as feminine, I will only ever be perceived as a girl, and that man will always be straight. I hate it. It's how it is, but I hate it. I'm lucky to not have as much as gender dysphoria as a lot of other trans people. But I will always, ALWAYS struggle with social dysphoria, especially if I never change how I look. I'm FINE with how I look, because I can see ME, the KADE. But others look and they see my deadname. It's a terrible feeling and such a thing to confront when approaching dating and social life in general.

[@r82033]

This is such a feeling. I feel this in my soul. I'm AFAB and non-binary and fairly femme-presenting. Ppl look at me and see my features and some of my socialized-female behaviors and go subconsciously go, "This person looks and acts how I expect someone with a female body to look, and sex=gender, therefore girl." And one of my jobs is very customer-service oriented. I work with K-12 students in a library. I get really bad customer-service dysphoria. I don't like being addressed as "Miss, Ms., ma'am, ladies." I get that ppl are just trying to be polite, but I get major icks getting gendered in a customer service context. I don't have the time or energy or desire to actively justify my identity and experience. It's exhausting, and in some cases actively interferes with my work. Not to say that being misgendered doesn't have its own mental toll. For me, my experience of being non-binary is sort of like being agender but genderfluid. Overall, I don't really feel like I have a gender, but I flux b/t feeling more masculine, femenine, and enby, and sometimes they overlap. I genuinely enjoy femenine things, and it was only after coming out to myself as non-binary that ai feel comfortable in my feminity. But then ppl's perception of me kind of screws with my head. I genuine enjoy my feminity, masculinity, and enbiness, but they get complicated by how ppl percieve me. Sometimes being excessively gendered can even cause me to defensively present more masculine. Or if ik that I'm going to be in a context where I'll be misgenered a lot, then I will "proactively" default into feeling more masculine. Ik that changing my presentation doesn't affect ppl gendering me, but I guess it gives me the illusion of control. In general, it just makes existing way more complicated, bc making friends, working, casual convos, doctor's visits, dating travel, etc., all hinge around gender perceptions and sterotypes. For example, one time I was at the grocery looking for something in the toilettries for something--idk what. And while overall it wasn't a bad interaction, it was clear that the reason this person asked me was bc they assumed that I was a woman and I guess women know things about skincare?? It's such a weird space to exist in and really complicates my relationship with all kinds of relationships and interactions: customer service, romantic, s*exual, platonic, paternal, and familial relationships. I def have a multi-layered anxiety about dating that partly stems from a potential partner's and society's perception of me/us. Then, as you mentioned, safety's a whole 'nother layer

@@r82033 God, there's not a single thing I couldn't relate to for this, other than my gender identity. We're in the same boat.

Sometimes, because of genderfluidity, I do feel super feminine and like a woman and I might even (in the past, anyways) ask for people to use she/her pronouns and feminine terms when referring to me. That confuses people, I think. How can you cry today when the other day you were overjoyed when I said the same things? It sucks, because some days I want to delve back into the whole girl side of things, but I feel... guilty somehow? And now I have a fear too because certain people started misgendering me when they hadn't before I had a very, very feminine day. It's funny because my brain misgenders me all the time too, and I get upset at myself for referring to myself in the wrong way. I'm just so used to everyone doing this. Luckily, I do have a few friends who are so genuinely understanding and most of the time I believe them when they say they see me as Kade. A couple people have even said that they always saw me as genderless. Unluckily, I can never fully appreciate gender euphoria because it is always surrounded and interrupted by dysphoria. There's some things to alleviate this trans pain. Those friends, and the occasional filter that makes me look so ridiculously masculine and androgynous. In the future though, I can experiment with masculine clothing (binders and boxers sound awesome), maybe even makeup, and I'll definitely change my legal name. Hopefully live with a friend who does everything right, when it comes to my gender. Do you experience dysphoria surrounding names? Have you done any name changes, medical transitioning, etc? I'm curious, as this reciprocated essay affected me as mine did to you. I hear your experience and sympathize. It's incredible how strong humans are. We're able to live in social environments that drain us and we feel so out of place. Here's hoping society changes and we people suffer a little less. Only way we can do that is through education and sharing our experiences, I guess. We're trying!

32:40 bffr. as a lesbian who used to identify as a trans man (until i realized that label no longer fit me) this response is fucking ridiculous. being a lesbian means a non-man who is attracted to non-men. trans men are men. if you use he/him pronouns and identify as a lesbian because you don't identify as a man that's fine because pronouns do not equal gender. but MEN cannot claim to be lesbians, including trans men. the creator is just throwing around buzzwords but what he's saying makes absolutley no sense. (TW very brief mentions of @$$ault) the creator's second response at 35:49 is COMPLETELY deflecting from the original question (which was a very valid point; men are not and under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should be allowed in lesbian spaces). his point about how lesbians won't allow trans men into OUR communities because we're scared of cis men @$$aulting us makes no sense. we don't allow non-lesbian women into our spaces because they're not lesbians, which is the same exact reason we don't allow trans men into our spaces. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LESBIANS, THEY ARE MEN. if a cis man were to identify as a lesbian everyone would tell him that men can't be lesbians, and very rightfully so. i don't see how it is at all different from trans men. if you're going to call me transphobic and say that i'm trying to "turn trans men into lesbians" please don't. just because i no longer identify as a man doesn't mean any other trans men should detransition if they dont't want to; i'm not "forcing lesbianism" on anyone. please do some reasearch and listen to people like me. lesbians are shit on so much by cishets and even other members of the queer community and we just want a break and a safe space free from men and non-lesbians, which has never been provided. if i came off as rude, which i'm sure i did, i'm just exhausted from all the blatant lesbophobia and erasure constantly present. thank you for at least hearing me out and i'm happy to discuss civilly with anyone with opposing opinions.

Resistance to change is counter to protecting queer spaces. The line between lesbian and bi has been blurred too long. Bi and lesbian solidarity ask why not be a bi woman who dates anyone but cishets. Or a bi trans man who dates nonmen.

I think this can also be related to a related problem of just kind of putting a lot of marginalized people into women's spaces because god forbid cis (mostly het) men have to share a space with someone not exactly like them.

The last 2 tiktoks really made me think a lot about gender - sexuality from a different angle but Im still a bit confused.. Are there any trans men or lesbians in the comments who could share their own views/experiences on the topics of these tiktoks?For context, i am a trans man who's very much binary and straight , and who personally wouldn't choose to date a woman identifying as lesbian. But I respect other lgbt+ people's identities and experiences and I would love to understand better.

[@aidenwestdahl1255]

See, while I know lesbians ans sapphics who both date and acknowledge trans men, I wouldn't date someone who exclusively identified as those. In my case, while I acknowledge my relationship with women and femmes as a very queer one, the labels of saphic and lesbian are often very binary, and it makes me a bit dysphoric.

[@Mendoxs_]

based on how he's talking about how queer people can have very complex and nuanced identities that can't be reduced to simple concepts, I'm thinking he's talking about the lesbians that are ""99% gay and 1% straight"" or ""are mostly gay but every now and then they find a man they're attracted to"", or trans men who simply vibe with having a lesbian as a partner. which just circles back to his point that gender and sexuality are complex and unique to each person and can't be judged based on strict labels

[@ashtonblanc8549]

33:30- I’m not trying to invalidate this person’s clear thoughts and experiences, but from what I’ve seen, most of the people who don’t like the idea of trans men and lesbians being together are not weird cis people: they’re trans men. Myself included. It just feels uncomfortable to me and the fact that the guy got so angry at people who just exhibit genuine discomfort at the idea of a lesbian in a relationship with a man who just happens to have a vagina not cool. And I don’t mean he/him lesbians. Am I in the wrong here? Is there something I’m missing?

[@lemonlypop]

I think that it's okay for you to feel discomfort, I'm a trans man myself and would feel uncomfortable in a relationship with a lesbian. However, that discomfort is from my own feelings and also that rhetoric of what counts as a woman or not is mainly rooted in racism, where women of color were considered "non-women" or not "female" enough. Which the guy probably understands and caught when he got a lot of messages saying lesbians don't date men, or trans men shouldn't be in lesbian spaces, because some women or lesbians of color weren't allowed in those spaces for a long time. Or at least that's what I've understood based on what people have explained.

[@isla.g]

as a lesbian i completely agree !! i would never find myself attracted to a trans man because i'm not attracted to ANY men and i think it's a bit odd that there's a distiction. i commented a very long and passionate paragraph earlier but the points the creator made were just a bit strange. "lesbian" means non-man who is attracted to other non-men and i don't see why trans men should fall into that category considering they are men.

[@deadchannel22]

This could be called second hand dysphoria, which is feeling invalidated by other people who identify similarly to you doing things that you wouldn't be comfortable with doing yourself. The key is to remember that labels are just shorthand for describing your identity to others. Calling myself a trans man doesn't immediately tell you everything about me, or even my gender. Imo, being so rigid with labels kind of defeats the whole purpose of being queer. Since when do our identities need to make sense to others? Isn't the whole point to be comfortable with yourself? If some lesbians and trans men are comfortable dating each other, that shouldn't threaten your gender or sexuality. If you're not interested, that's okay! Move on and be happy that other queer people are happy too.

[@sillubean5124]

@Sofia Collins this has been the porpoise of the bi lable for decades these people are bi not lesbians please don't erase bi people. The blurry line between bi and lesbian leans more towards bi people in lesbian spaces trans men attracted to nonmen in bi spaces.

[@ardin1437]

that's the thing, it depends! there are many trans men who have close ties to the lesbian communities and consider themselves lesbians and date lesbians, and many that would feel invalidated and uncomfortable in those situations. we should acknowledge and accept both, and realize that labels are fluid and mean different things to different people. there are no two trans men who feel the same about their gender, no two people of any identity that experience it in the same way. learn to understand that we all have different experiences and don't force other people into boxes that are easier to understand.

Oh how wonderful it was to hear the words "Trans men are not our oppressors" from someone other than me shouting it to non-listening ears. So so often, trans men's oppression is ignored, and never spoken about in our community. The relationship that trans men have with male privilege is so so so complex, but it is so often just boiled down to "once you pass, you are an oppressor" which is just not true. For example, in social situations especially, trans men have the capacity to be horribly misogynistic towards cis and trans women alike, and that needs to be discussed. But the systemic power we have as trans people is non existent, and we simply don't have the capacity to be structurally oppressive to other people. And these are just a few examples of the power we don't have vs the power people think we have, which they use to demonize us. We still suffer when it comes to reproductive justice, invisibility in trans discussions and media, infantilization from terfs and fetishization, and like the video said, some of the highest SA rates by gender and transness. We have things completely unique to our experience that hurts us that no one talks about, and it is so refreshing to see another person talk about it, even if that person is also a trans man (meaning, I wish non-trans men would advocate for us too, because as it stands, I feel very alone in this discussion because people simply don't know/understand what we go through as a result of our invisibility) tldr; transmasculine oppression unique to our experiences needs to get talked about so much more than it is in order for the complete liberation of the trans community, and even for our LGB+ siblings

Question about the last two. Wouldn’t being in a relationship/ being attracted to a trans man as a lesbian either insinuate that you’re bi/pan/non-lesbian or that the trans-man isn’t really a man? Ik that this is just identity politics/policing or whatever but im genuinely a little confused like from my understanding lesbian is being attracted to everyone from enby and a-gender to binary women, doesn’t that just exclude trans mascs/men? Like there was that whole thing a while ago with lesbian men, how is that diff/gen and then for the last one, i didn’t really get his points, why would trans men be in lesbian/fem spaces? Again ik its just politics and policing but i kinda just don’t get it. (Im not trying to br exclusionary, im just confused.
