all love to the transxenine guy but part of making up your own hyperniche labels and pronouns and shit is that 99.99% of society is not going to know wtf you're talking about. Getting assumed as nonbinary is still not normative, the vast majority of people see only 2 genders, man and woman, or three: man, woman, freak. Im not arguing that anon should change labels or whatever but gotta kinda toughen up and decide what you want: do you want 100% authentic self expression, oe do you want to be easily parseable and accepted by most people? which brings the most joy and which the most distress? How can you make your outside better conform to your transxenine truth? People have been bodymodding and giving themselves full body tattoos, horns implants, split tongues, dyed eyeballs, gauged piercings, and scarification for years to indicate non-normative and idiosyncratic ideas about gender and beauty to others. But if you don't have a personality that likes to cause waves, if you need acceptance for others, you're never going to find it from the majority of people identifying as transxenine. Are you okay with that? Can you make it awesome anyway? do with that what you will.
repeat again because i know tumblr users have a hard time reading: i am not against funky labels or identities. i am responding to anons struggle with acceptance and being seen authentically while using a funky label. and i am suggesting what can be done about it, and that self reflection is needed to solve it. society is what it is: we can change it, but we have to act on it, not sit around waiting for it to just accept us and understand us.
This is incredibly transphobic, I'm almost at a loss of what to say.
"Making up your own hyperniche labels and shit" transxenine is not hyperniche. Xeninity is really fucking common, actually. Society just refuses to listen to xenine voices. Xenine sublabels are often hyperniche, but xeninity itself is not.
"Im not arguing that anon should change labels or whatever but gotta kinda toughen up and decide what you want" why do trans people need to 'toughen up' about being misgendered? Saying that you're a guy, yet people insisting that you're non-binary, that's misgendering.
"How can you make your outside better conform to your transxenine truth?" Why the hell are you assuming that this person wants to medically transition? Not all trans & gender diverse people medically transition. What even is this? You sound supremely transmedicalist throwing this in out of nowhere.
"But if you don't have a personality that likes to cause waves, if you need acceptance for others, you're never going to find it from the majority of people identifying as transxenine." Why do trans & gender diverse people need to be rebellious? Why are they responsible for how they are treated? Why are you victim blaming? And why are you acting like transxenine people won't accept and support a fellow transxenine? Wtf?
"society is what it is: we can change it, but we have to act on it, not sit around waiting for it to just accept us and understand us." Again, why is it anons responsibility to facilitate change? I'll reiterate - why are you victim blaming a trans person who is frustrated with being misgendered?
