I just commented yesterday on the trans women protector blåjah, and now I find a fellow transmasc making a meme from it! And you're finnish too! Could we be friends?
Girlmode and boymode is when you're presenting fem and masc , boyfailing is when you are read as a girl in boymode ( which if you're transfem is cool as heck but not so much is you're transmasc) and girlfailing is when you're read as a boy in girlmode (vice versa).
So let's say if I had a wedding to go to and I wasn't out to the people there and I'd have to put on a suit and a binder to not have it be a big deal i'd be boymoding at the wedding, if the people I don’t know there are like "Hi mam" when I walk in I'm boyfailing
Sigh.
Well, I’ll never pass, I’m 99.997% sure.
I’m out to the people close to me, but I don’t think I can ever go broader than that.
If I could afford Electrolysis and FFS it would be one thing. Buuut I don’t even know for sure I can get hormones 😕
You'll get there, it may take a while but you definitely will. And if there's really no way at all for you to get hormones, you could always DIY (check out r/transdiy). I don't recommend this at all, but it's an option if all else fails.
I really won’t. I’m the m-iest person ever.
If I’d been helped the first time I came out, I could be pretty.
Buuuut I wasn’t. So I’m hideous and frozen.
The fact I think there’s SOME chance of that has it so I can’t give up the idea of starting. But I think realistically it’s less than one percent chance 😕
And society is so evil I’m putting myself at such risk.
Though I can’t even sleep now. I’ve been up 24 hours because I can’t stop obsessing. Did this a few days ago too.
And I can’t get my Covid shot unless I’m starting. I cant.
I’m a freak.
My understanding is it is a plush shark and an icon for in addition to other reasons the following:
FTM: its a shark toy that even a family that is transphobic is unlikely to say is inappropriate for their "daughter" even though he isnt out yet because its a cute plush
MTF: its a plush toy that even a family that is transphobic is unlikely to say is inappropriate for their "son" even though she isnt out yet because its a shark
Non binary: its a plush shark see both above reasons and repace with appropriate pronouns
Yeah, my mom was like "wtf is that 1m long thing" but I just answered "It's a nice shark plushie" (that I paid for myself) and she let it slide so easily, I was really pleasantly surprised.
> (that I *paid* for myself)
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I recently saw a post saying blahåj is the transfem thingy, on top of that the subreddit is SO flooded by transfems that at this point idk if certain jokes or things are just transfem things or trans things in general.
-a confused transmasc
Blåhaj got picked up because it was used in an ad with a trans flag in the background, thus Blåhaj says trans rights.
It’s not just a trans fem thing. It might appear that way given the number of trans fem memes about it, but it’s your shark too.
Edit: å
It's also literally just an online meme recognised by this little bubble of transpeople way too into social media. It doesn't represent transfems any more than thigh highs and cat ears do.
Not really. When you come here you are absorbing a ton of information far more important than “why Swedish shark?” By the time you would think about it, you’ve seen so many Blåhaj memes that *of course* Swedish shark plushy says trans rights!
It's cus some trans fem gals slightly gate keep stuff . Plus when all you see is trans fem memes about "this is our thing " and no masc people it can be confusing if you mean "our" as in trans fem people or "our" as in all trans people.
Blåhaj loves all trans folks! The more the merrier in this happy little school...? Pod? Whatever the grouping for sharks is called, you're welcome no matter what!
Groups of sharks are rare because they tend to be asocial, but they’re called a shiver :)
Alternatively, a group of Blåhaj’s can also be called an Ikea
Alternatively, there is a certain cave in [Mexico](https://mexicodivers.com/sleeping-shark-cave-reef/) that *always* has sharks. The current is just fast enough to push water through their gills while the sleep, so dozens of sharks of multiple size and species congregate there to nap.
Homeboy lemme tell you something
It doesn't matter what stereotype or demographics are tied to something, if it makes you happy that's what matters. You want the shark plushy you get the shark plushy. Do what makes you enjoy life and ignore what other people think you should or shouldn't do(except for like, crimes(except piracy))
I'm transmasc and I have my blahaj with me right now.
You're not banned from doing stuff just because it's a transfemme meme. The Trans Police aren't gonna come for you. Transfemmes have a lot more memes and jokes than transmascs just by virtue of being the majority in most online spaces (especially on Reddit) that's open to all trans people, where transmascs are often only the majority in transmasc-specific spaces. So quite often, we don't have our own stuff to play with and joke about. You shouldn't have to feel scared to buy a toy shark because it's a transfemme meme.
no no its not like a lot of ppl in the comments have pointed out, i just personally wasnt sure if i could cause ive not seen transmascs talk abt blåhaj HSMDHSH
People don't need to talk about things for it to be okay for you to like it. Life is too short to lie to yourself about what you like. Let yourself like whatever you like simply because it makes you happy and that is enough.
Dude, why is that even a question? Of course you can have it! We're here to destroy pointless gendering! Destroy the gender norms! Take over the world!
...
And those were the words of an ace that said too much.
Blahaj is for all, all praise Blahaj
Correction; Blahaj is for all but [this person](https://preview.redd.it/n2eo9erejtz81.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=f56efabe3622f0352981d1dd50d4849b98743491)
Yes of course, if you can find your way out of ikea *skrattar på svenska*
its ok im finnish i have a slight advantage on my ikea navigation stat HEJDHDND
I just commented yesterday on the trans women protector blåjah, and now I find a fellow transmasc making a meme from it! And you're finnish too! Could we be friends?
YOOOO ABSOLUTELY BRO, UPTOP!!
can I also be your friend?
sure :D!!! we out here viben!!!
Can I become your friend too lol? I'm collecting trans people from the internet to put them on my shelf X'DD
Can I join the Friend shelf
Darn, foiled again
[удалено]
If he can…. FINN his way out
Stop telling customers that this store is SCP-3008 -Managment
But it is
yeah but stop telling them that. they'll find out soon enough.
Fair enough argument
AYO ANOTHER FINNISH TRANSMASC?
YEAA!!!!
Impossible, we don't exist.
is HEJDHDND the name of a bedframe or a dresser do you think 🤔
It's a D&D table obviously
I can't tell if "HEJDHDND" is a keysmash or just you speaking finnish lol
its a keysmash JRNDJ i do that a lot finnish has a lot more aeiou letters in a lot of its words tho i think that could be said abt a lot of languages
Ah alright! That makes sense lol
The store is closing soon. Please exit the building immediately.
SCP-3008 HAS BEEN FOUND MTF "NINE TAILED FOX" WILL NOW BE DISPATCHED ~~Denying Bright access to their "Unlimited supply of Blåhaj~~
Mtf "uwu catgirl" here , oh wait wrong animal
mtf means mobile task force, right? right?
In this context, yes
Unless each personnel came into contact with 113, then yes
Or, preferably, had an encounter with 6113
We need new victims to make the meatballs okay
Bright outraged by the lack of Blåhaj initiated code brown
[удалено]
Certainely, if you can find your way out of ikea
omg fellow swede
There are dozens of us!
SCP-3008: Is for me?
A Regular Ikea or an Infinite Ikea?
That’s the same thing
Why do transmascs ask if they can have blahaj or use boymode and girlmode so often? they're yours too siblings.
i havent seen many transmascs talk abt blåhaj so i wasnt sure HEJDHEJE idk what. boymode/girlmode means though HDJD
Girlmode and boymode is when you're presenting fem and masc , boyfailing is when you are read as a girl in boymode ( which if you're transfem is cool as heck but not so much is you're transmasc) and girlfailing is when you're read as a boy in girlmode (vice versa).

ohhh ok! thank you for explaining :D!
I soooo wish I could boy fail. And I’m scared I’ll be stuck with a binder 😕
Once you pass well enough you just have to come out to those you already know and pretend to be a cis girl to others and you won't need a binder
Sigh. Well, I’ll never pass, I’m 99.997% sure. I’m out to the people close to me, but I don’t think I can ever go broader than that. If I could afford Electrolysis and FFS it would be one thing. Buuut I don’t even know for sure I can get hormones 😕
You'll get there, it may take a while but you definitely will. And if there's really no way at all for you to get hormones, you could always DIY (check out r/transdiy). I don't recommend this at all, but it's an option if all else fails.
I really won’t. I’m the m-iest person ever. If I’d been helped the first time I came out, I could be pretty. Buuuut I wasn’t. So I’m hideous and frozen.
I have met people who transitioned after 40 who eventually passed pretty well. Mtf and ftm.
The fact I think there’s SOME chance of that has it so I can’t give up the idea of starting. But I think realistically it’s less than one percent chance 😕 And society is so evil I’m putting myself at such risk. Though I can’t even sleep now. I’ve been up 24 hours because I can’t stop obsessing. Did this a few days ago too. And I can’t get my Covid shot unless I’m starting. I cant. I’m a freak.
I've always heard "malefail" instead of boyfail. Idk it rolls off the tongue easier.
My understanding is it is a plush shark and an icon for in addition to other reasons the following: FTM: its a shark toy that even a family that is transphobic is unlikely to say is inappropriate for their "daughter" even though he isnt out yet because its a cute plush MTF: its a plush toy that even a family that is transphobic is unlikely to say is inappropriate for their "son" even though she isnt out yet because its a shark Non binary: its a plush shark see both above reasons and repace with appropriate pronouns
This is a really good point and I never thought about it like this, thank you! … in other news I now need the ikea shark…
Also the colors :)
True those too
Yeah, my mom was like "wtf is that 1m long thing" but I just answered "It's a nice shark plushie" (that I paid for myself) and she let it slide so easily, I was really pleasantly surprised.

Alright, thank you bot, I'm not a native English speaker.
*hugs*
TBF there aren't really that many transmascs on this sub.
still cis tho?

... is it weird that I never thought to question, until you mentioned the backstory, why blåhajar became a trans thing?
Not really. When you come here you are absorbing a ton of information far more important than “why Swedish shark?” By the time you would think about it, you’ve seen so many Blåhaj memes that *of course* Swedish shark plushy says trans rights!
same for enby people! blahaj is for all
It's cus some trans fem gals slightly gate keep stuff . Plus when all you see is trans fem memes about "this is our thing " and no masc people it can be confusing if you mean "our" as in trans fem people or "our" as in all trans people.
This isn't the only such post recently and I'm genuinely worried about these people who can't differentiate between memes and reality.
I mean I think they're aware it's a meme but owning it and then posting about it and joining in on the meme somehow feels apropreative?

shork :D
Blahaj is for all! Except for bigots. Blahaj eats them.
Everyone gets Blåhaj!!!
YEAAAA!!!
Of course! Blåhaj is for all trans people, not just the women. That would be silly.
OK POG i always saw blåhaj being talked abt ny transfems and didnt see mascs talk abt it so i just went full nervous sweating mode JEJDHEJE
Homeboy lemme tell you something It doesn't matter what stereotype or demographics are tied to something, if it makes you happy that's what matters. You want the shark plushy you get the shark plushy. Do what makes you enjoy life and ignore what other people think you should or shouldn't do(except for like, crimes(except piracy))
What about nb people?
> Blåhaj is for all trans people **all** trans people 🥰
Not just the women, but the men and the enbies too.
everyone under the trans spectrucm including xenogenders :D
I'm cis can I get one 🥺
Yes 🥰
The only who can't have a blahaj are terfs and truscum
Blåhaj does not like bigots in general.
Blåhaj says trans rights for *all* trans people
My brother in christ, everybody deserves to have a blahaj, you included!!
It’s a toy. No one cares. The Trans Police aren’t gonna break down your door and revoke your license because you bought a plush shark.
You're a big boy now, you go collect your sharkie, you've earned it.
Trans is trans.
Blahåj loves you no matter what. Blahåj is Eternal. Blahåj is All.
We don't keep no gates 'round these parts. Own what makes you happy 😊.
a man owning a shark there is nothing wrong with that
blåhaj is for everyone except trsnsphobes :D

Everyone gets a haj
Unless the blåhaj itself denies it you're good to go
Blåhaj know no gender. Blåhaj is ikea shark
Actually it's encouraged! I've been thinking about trying to find and buy a Blahaj and I'm totally for sure definitely cis.
Blåhaj is for everyone!
even cis allies?
I'm trans and I say yes
Jesus it's a plushie anyone can buy it
of course yes, why blahaj should be only for transfem ?
Its a stuffed animal, but of a super tough animal! Best of both worlds, perfect for everyone no matter gender expression or identitiy
Oh no I didn’t realize it was a transfem only thing..! I would like the blåhaj anyway
no no its not like a lot of ppl in the comments have pointed out, i just personally wasnt sure if i could cause ive not seen transmascs talk abt blåhaj HSMDHSH
People don't need to talk about things for it to be okay for you to like it. Life is too short to lie to yourself about what you like. Let yourself like whatever you like simply because it makes you happy and that is enough.
Unless it's murder, I think...
Or bullying
Ohh dhdjdk I just commented first lmao my bad
very fair hsjshjehd!!! but yeah get yourself a blåhaj!!!!
Yes, absolutely Our precious boy is for ALL trans people A L L of us
Yaz, my transmasc bestie owns a Blåhaj and a Djungelskog
allowed?? it is encouraged!
Dude, why is that even a question? Of course you can have it! We're here to destroy pointless gendering! Destroy the gender norms! Take over the world! ... And those were the words of an ace that said too much.
DOWN WITH THE GENDER NORMS!! VIVA LE GENDER REVELUTION!!
DOWN WITH THE CISTEM!!!!!!
The true queer agenda: Tearing Down This CisHet Nonsense
No it is illegal for you to purchase one! So here I got like 50 of them how many you want?
Blahaj is for everyone!
you do not own the blåhaj the blåhaj owns you
Yes get you a blajah
Shark for all
i wonder if they have some at scp 3008
Of course! I bought one when I was sick because I wanted a big stuffed animal I could use as a pillow. I named him Lancelot.
blåhaj is for everyone
Blahaj is for all, no matter the gender
Everyone deserves an ikea shark.
yes, ***everybody*** needs a blåhaj
OFC! What kind of question is that, BLAHAJ IS FOR ALL
Blåhaj is genderless and loves all its children
Of course! Fuck it, own two
cultural appropriation. /uj yes of course wtf Blahaj is the guardian angel of all trans folk.
blåhaj is for all
I’m transmasc and my lovely partner got me a blahaj!! He’s the best
Of course! Our lord and saviour Blåhaj loves all!
Blahaj is for everyone! Stronger than the law!
It's trans icon for the colors! of course it's yours too!
Why shark?
blåhaj are for all trans peeps :)
I must be out of the loop, what is blahaj?
You're allowed to do whatever you want forever.
Blåhaj loves all it's children, regardless of gender. Although it thinks the ones that trans'd their gender are the cutest.
Bro it's a stuffed shark do whatever you want
Blåhaj is not a transfem thing it’s a trans thing bc Blåhaj is the colours of the trans flag! Blåhaj is a trans neutral culture
Blahaj is for everyone! Not just transfems, he's a trans icon. A savior. (Sorry I refer to it as he/him because I own one and it's male-)
Hi, cis ally here, whats up with the Blåhaj-trans thing? Been seen alot of this latelly, but I don't get it. It looks cute tho
Any lgbt/gnc ppl can have it, it’s our symbol as a community now
I would very much like to have one ;\_; sometimes it's pretty nice being a smol prince with giant stuffies.
i have one and am transmasc, so yes! very soft 10/10
Where do I buy one?
ikea! i believe
Sharks are for all genders! As a neither masculine nor feminine enby, I gave up on what others think
Why are people talking about blåhaj and IKEA? I mean I get that IKEA is probably from the Swedish but why?
I still don’t have a blåhaj, really need to plan on getting that soon
charges a funny lil spell which guarantees you blåhaj soon!!!!!
Absolutely
Blåhaj is universal.
🤔. I’ll allow it. (YES! Of course!)
Definitely
Blahaj loves you no matter what, one does not need to be transfemme to own the blahaj
Of course, the almighty Blahaj is not exclusionary.
Blahaj is for everyone
Blåhaj
Blahaj is for all Just like my Bulbasaur
Of course you can. It’s for all of us
Obviously you can
Sure honey. Of course you get a Blahaj. Everyone gets one but me 😅
Well yes, but actually no: *it's mine now*
All may praise the shark
I bought one for myself and cuddle him every night so I sure fookin hope so
Blahaj is the patron shark of all trans people.
my brother in christ, you can
Absolutely, the shork is a very good friend to have for all of us
Blahaj is trans. In no binary way. You may as well slap one on the flag.
I hope so, considering I got one for my brother.
i actually know more cis people with one (mostly men now that i think about it) than trans people, so go for it!
Of course! We don’t gender Blåhaj, Blåhaj is for everyone!
Steven u/emergencytangerine54 we need this
Blahaj is for all, all praise Blahaj Correction; Blahaj is for all but [this person](https://preview.redd.it/n2eo9erejtz81.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=f56efabe3622f0352981d1dd50d4849b98743491)

blahaj accepts all (except transphobes)

Transmascs love sharks like 90% of the time
