cara-colomba:

Dear Trans Men

It is perfectly okay to:

Like your long hair

Wear makeup

Paint your nails

Dress flamboyantly

You do not have to hold yourselves to a modern male standard. You do not have to look like what society thinks a man should be, because that is infinitely changeable:

Ancient Egypt

image

Ancient India

image

Renaissance Italy

image

18th Century Europe

image

19th Century England

image


20th Century

image


Make your own standard of beauty and masculinity. It is entirely up to you.


Sincerely,

An art historian trans man
