newsflash assholes!
if you experience dysphoria, you’re trans
if you don’t experience dysphoria, you’re still trans
if you want to go on t and/or transition, you’re trans
if you don’t want to go on t/don’t want to transition, you’re still fucking trans
being trans isn’t an illness, or a curse, or a burden
if you ID as trans, you’re trans
Can you imagine if any other demographic worked this way?
I now identify as a black paraplegic! Pointing out my functioning limbs and my pale skin is invalidating me and my identify, asshole!
that’s kinda ableist there.
and you can’t go around saying you’re ‘trans’ unless you really truly identify as trans, but dysmorphia isn’t a requirement.
i’ve questioned my gender identity since i could comprehend what gender was, and i’m proud to say that i identify as trans.
if you identify as trans, you’re trans.
you can’t identify as ‘black’ or ‘paraplegic’ because, well, that’s no way comparable to being trans.
Gender is flexible. Race is not. Don’t compare two things that aren’t even in the same ballpark.
Except it’s not. Gender is biological, it’s related to wether you have a male or female brain structure, it’s not “flexible” it’s something you are born with and will die with.
