When somebody tells you that you've misgendered them, the cool guy response is to apologize, move on, and not do it again. . The absolute worst way to respond, on the other hand, is to write a long response explaining why they're Wrong, Actually. . Yeah this is a cis people thing, but it's also something I've noticed truscum - that is, trans people who insist that gender dysphoria and medically transitioning are necessary to be considered transgender - doing quite a bit as well. . It's weird to watch fellow trans folks succumb to their cisnormative biases so much that not only do they misgender me - by directly and repeatedly insisting I have a "male body" - but themselves as well. . But that's not misgendering, they will explain to you. It's just simple biological reality that trans women are biological males, they will explain to you. And you can take hormones but you will always be a biological male, they will explain to you. . Where have I heard that one before? . I wish those of us in the trans community could be kinder to each other. I don't know what truscum hope to accomplish by focusing their ire on their fellow trans people, when there are so much more significant and tangible threats to both them and us. . Just because you're transgender yourself doesn't mean you're immune from being transphobic. . . . . . #transgenderproud #nonbinarybody #transformation #transgendervisability #transexual #transgendercommunity #transgenderfashion #transgenderofig #transgenderartist #transgenders #transgenderasfuck #transformationtuesday #transgenderteacher #transgenderlife #transgendermaletofemale #nonbinarypeople #transgenderfamily #transgenderwriter #transition #nonbinarybabes #transpride #transgendergirl #TransgenderQueen #transgenderproblems #transgenderism #nonbinary #transgenderequality #transgenderpower #transgendersofinstagram #transgendered (at London, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWV-fNyrygu/?utm_medium=tumblr
