Ever notice how 99% of tumblr trans*** crowd never say they are men only that they are boys? It’s all about some romanticized version of boyhood.

spenacethemenace:

I don’t associate with the terms “man” or “woman”, that’s kind of part of the whole genderqueer thing.

Also, when you use an asterisk it includes MAAB gender non-conforming people as well as MtF girls…and why would either of those groups use the term “man” or want, in any way, to be associated with a “romanticized version of boyhood”.

It’s obvious I’m not speaking of the MTFs or the like.

    I usually just say I’m a guy or a dude, but id much rather be called a young man than a boy.

    My girlfriend and I say this a lot, actually - if you’re 15+, you should already be feeling more like a man than a boy....

    Also there’s the factor in queer culture of Peter Pan Syndrome- that you never have to grow up, you have to look and act...
