#truetrans

Hi…It’s been awhile. 😘🏳️‍⚧️

They've been told that there's only one way to be trans by cisgender people so many times that they've started self-policing. When someone comes around who complicates this, cis people have taught them to lash out because they had to fight for medical transition. Instead of using newer social justice phrases like "check your privilege" though, they accuse people of not being trans at all. Not wanting/needing to medically transition and not having dysphoria is certainly a huge privilege. The erasure from the community may hurt, but dysphoria can be a traumatizing and awful part of existence. At the same time, it's not necessary to be trans and never was. I wish there were better ways of getting through to these folks about how yes, people without dysphoria should recognize that it so a privilege not to feel like parts/configurations of your body don't belong, but also recognize that their genders are still valid.

Life’s been crazy busy lately.

Another rotation around the sun. Just want to keep improving and be better than I was yesterday.✌️🤟🎂🎉
