#compassionposting

Pinned post!

We recently had a new hire at work, and I realized he's trans. I'm nonbinary. Today when he was talking to a customer about me, I noticed he referred to me as "they" several times. I think I'd told him before I use any pronouns, but I normally lean towards he/they. And I was a wearing a dress at the time. I'd kinda resigned myself to people always seeing me as female when I dress feminine, so being referred to neutrally by him felt nice. It reminded me I can still be nonbinary regardless of how I dress.

compassion post; religious trans people. I love all of you and anyone who came out of the struggle of spiritualism and gender identity happy with themself and their life. I know personally it can sometimes feel like both sides hate you, and that some people will say you're doing one identity bad by having the other, but its not true and people do love you for all that you are. All of who you are is valid and no one can dictate your religion or your identity besides yourself

some positivity/compassion here! me being an open and proud trans man helped my best friend realize she's a girl <3 there are miserable people on this site who want to insist that trans men and trans women just all hate each other and don't have anything in common but it's so obviously not true! we're a community and i love all my trans siblings and i plan to continue being loudly trans and full of love because even if it just makes one person realize they have the option to be happy like i am then it's all worth it.

All trans people: trans men, trans women, transmascs, transfems, nonbinary people who fit into none of the above or multiple of the above categories, we should be family. We should not hate each other. Love your siblings.

The anon who compared it to undiagnosed vs diagnosed autistic struggles has hit the nail on the head, imo. I'm a diagnosed autistic and while the shit I've went through as a result of my diagnosis has fucked me up psychologically in some pretty unique ways, I'll forever stand in solidarity with undiagnosed autistics cause I know the way society treats them aint any better than how it treats me, and even though they haven't had their differences medicalized in the same way, they have to deal with the lack of accommodation and support systems that a diagnosis can get access to, and that's a type of struggle that I can't even imagine. The queer and trans and lgbtqia+ communities have it the same way... we've all got our unique struggles that those who don't experience em can't fully understand, but we still gotta respect each other's experiences. Whether it's aros and aces or non-dysphoric trans folks or bi lesbians or pansexuals or trans men or trans women or nonbinaries or intersex folks, even if we don't understand the others' experiences, we still got to respect each other and stand in solidarity with each other against the people trying to tear us down.

You’re so right. The world needs more compassion. I love you, my giy
