"Death before detransition" as a rallying cry may feel good to repeat.
But ultimately I don't think it's helpful. The people who want you to detransition don't want you to exist. A dead trans person accomplishes their goals just fine.
Our goal is to survive. By any means necessary. Some people that will mean detransitioning for safety. It's soul crushing, but one day you'll have the opportunity to be yourself and you have to be here for it. Some people will have to go or remain stealth, severing any ties with their transness for their own safety. Two closets across the hall from each other each with their own challenges. But there is safety in the closet and you can survive in there despite the challenges.
Your only responsibility is to survive.
There are going to be visible trans people. People who can't or won't detransition for their own reasons. Or who have enough safety that they don't need to. Some who won't survive if they detransition and some who are staying visible so that they can be seen. To remind every we are here.
Fuck death. Your only goal is to survive by any means necessary. Your existence is resistance enough.
#we don't need more voices telling trans people to die # we need more voices telling them to live #so consider this me running through the hall telling everyone to live that one day we will get to stand in the sun #but you have to be alive to make it there
It was right those are good tags. I'm putting them in the post.
Existence is resistance. Survive by any means necessary.
