So I confirmed my appointment this afternoon, on the 18th I’m seeing a doctor to start the process to get HRT and start the transition. Everything that was making me hesitant in the past is now a non-factor, and I’ve honestly been wanting this my entire life.
@minniewuwu @IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia I’m just upset people have an abundance of empathy of what they perceive to be an ally, but somehow none for a trans woman. Trans women deal with that a lot in day to day life and it gets really tiring and frustrating.
@minniewuwu @IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia That’s valid. I’m not saying OP couldn’t have done better, just saying that it’s clearly an emotional venting response people decided to take personally, then signal boosted enough to get here.
I think I give up. I’m so tired. I push so hard in a world that doesn’t want me here just to exist. Just to enjoy the simple things, and to be not uncomfortable. People can insult me, degrade me, debate my feelings and identity to me, and I just have to keep taking it.
@MavrelNotMarvel@IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia And that’s not an ally, that’s just someone using trans people as a talking point and not seeing the humanity behind trans people’s lived experiences.
@MavrelNotMarvel@IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia This is exactly the kind of thing she’s hating on. You realize the language is problematic. It’s a “slip up” with 20k likes. The problem is allies like that largely see trans women as men that it’s just polite to call something else.
@IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia Which one? Empathy? You just said you realize how trans people are persecuted. Anger is a normal response to fear. You should realize how scared most trans people are. Or is that just a way to point the finger at other trans people and tell them the “correct” way to be trans?
@IsabeauVidal@MavrelNotMarvel@Trans_Lykeia I think people like you are the reason we’re losing our rights. You’re more focused on “allies” feelings instead of communicating to people the lived realities of trans people.
@IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia Idk why, in light of trans people being persecuted to the degree that you’re aware of, you’re more focused her language than the other persons.
@IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia Exactly. Hate is an emotional response. It’s easy for me, as a trans person, to see another woman angry at “allies” who use language as terfs and empathize with her. Idk why that same empathy is hard for you.
@MavrelNotMarvel@IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia Have you ever considered it might only make you feel worse because it’s pointed at you? If you were a trans man, and were constantly being referred to as a “biological woman” or being excluded from the other men on the basis of them being “biologically men” you’d be upset too.
@MavrelNotMarvel@IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia I fundamentally disagree. The term “biological females” is something I only really hear from TERFs and people who are far too ignorant about trans people for me to call them allies. Are you trans? Not trying to say you can’t have an opinion if you aren’t, but it’s relevant.
@IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia And? The tweet she’s talking about has some bad trans language and has 20k likes. If it’s about proportionality of likes, one is clearly worse. Maybe instead of jumping on the language of trans women, you could be the one to go explain to the allies why that language is bad.
@Its_Mr_Floyd@mysti_mole Aren’t you currently tearing into someone over semantics? If half of y’all just saw a trans woman venting on her twitter over bad trans language and just left it alone and moved on, that post wouldn’t have nearly the amount of traction it did.
@IsabeauVidal@Trans_Lykeia Why are you worked up over a girl venting about bad trans language? Y’all are doing the same thing you’re mad at her over, just to a trans person.
@129214s@Trans_Lykeia Couldn’t you have done the same? Random account with 1k followers and yall are dragging someone for what basically looks like venting.
@lCUMFROMKISSING I had an ex who pretty exclusively dates early transition trans women, myself included. Anyone with any kind of confidence or independence seems to be a no go for them. Torn between my faith in people’s ability to change but watching it happen over and over makes me so sick.
Anyone here know much about 3D Printing? Working on a project and want to know what kind of machine I should be looking at/saving for. Have some baseline info but it’s just not making much sense lol
