if i said the spread of “identification” based language like this is inherently transphobic would i be going too far? it literally seems like in practice it’s just “trans women are men who identify as women.” and this goes for other kinds of trans people too ofc
fuckfuckfuck i hate going to the pharmacy for skincare stuff, i just stick out like a sore male thumb among all the women in the aisles and the employees rush over to ask if i need help cuz im a hulking male freak and scaring everyone off
being a trans woman is so fun because you experience some of the highest rates of rape, and cis men don’t view you as an in group nor vote in your interest and safety but we are forever treated as the same in this cycle where we are expected to take blame of our own assaulters
