@Dannyjokes A. there's about twice as many trans women as trans men
B. trans men are still *more often* actually present in leadership roles in queer organizations
C. people spend more time reacting negatively to trans women, putting disproportionate focus on us, while trans men suffer...
tired of antiblackness being looked over just bc someone is "funny" or whatever. idc if he apologized he was a grown ass adult when it happened. i do not forgive him.
Lots of talk about conflating depiction with endorsement but we need to have a serious conversation about how many of you conflate depiction with critique.
they hated that she wasn't scared. Her smile, her forgiveness, her easy manner. All of it was the opposite of the reaction that they're trying to illicit, which is fear. If you don't fear them, they spiral. They took the job to make people afraid of them.
yeah, growing up with parents who wouldn't let me do anything was so detrimental to my personal development in a way i don't know if i can ever fully recover from
i think people donโt trust themselves enough with their decisions, opinions, abilities, etc & it comes from not taking the time out to know yourself through mistakes/ failures. i may elaborate.
saying "people should just assume" is harmful and regressive. just say you hate gnc and nonbinary people and go. im genuinely so tired of trans discourse leaving out nonbinary people or saying we should suck it up and deal with transphobia if it's "better" for binary trans ppl
binary trans people have been acting annoyed when ppl ask their pronouns like "it's so obvious" and it's driving me insane bc you people are really in love with the gender binary huh? you really don't give a shit about nonbinary people do you?
Being a sheltered child sets you up for public humiliation and embarrassment btw! Everyone can tell you donโt go out much, donโt have the social skills, and canโt take care of yourself. If you shelter your child, you hate them, and itโs the rest of the worldโs problem afterwards
It's so disorienting to grow up with over protective or overly involved parents and then be expected at some arbitrary point to suddenly know how to run your own life. They often frame it as love or protection and sometimes it is but the unspoken cost is that you donโt get to
@AdaBarx "nonbinary people should limit their gender expression to appease transphobes" is not the hot take u think it is lmao. why is our way of displaying transness any less life-saving or important than a binary trans person's?
