after a youth spent confused and upset that i was supposed to be a person i wasn't, i spent a little time really struggling to conceive of masculinity as anything other than something people are afflicted with, and i owe it completely to the trans men and transmasculine dudes in my life for showing me that there's incredible value in the entire spectrum of masculine gender expression. i have never needed to mourn the man i could have been. with hands that arrived at gentleness through hard-won inner strength, transmasc found family and coworkers and lovers and friends have taken this thing i could not bear, scraped and sanded the patriarchy off it, and made a home in it. among them there are freaks and fathers and academics and madmen and engineers and artists and speedrunners and completely normal bog-standard dudes who resist categorization as anything other than "that guy I know", and they fucking love it, they love being masculine, and in loving masculinity they have shown me that i do not need to be the one to be a good man. in me they have seen someone who inhabits that which they escaped, and every single one of them has helped me be a better woman. i will do what i can to pay that forward every day until i die. god i love transmascs.

You want to watch a TV show from your youth so you check a streaming service, but it is not there, so you check a second streaming service but it is not there, so you check a third streaming service and it is not there. You search for it on Blu-ray but it doesn’t exist, so you search for it on DVD but it is out of print. You find a seller on eBay who has it, but the listing reads ambiguous as to whether it is the real thing or a burnt copy. You message the seller and they reply with an automated response thanking you for your interest.
