OP is clearly fed up with people claiming they know better than everyone who's trying to get them to think outside what makes them comfortable, so let's not interact with them, because they don't deserve to speak. It's too upsetting.

TLDR: Truscum who? I don’t know her anymore.

Full disclaimer: only about two months ago, I was a full-on truscum.

And when I say full-on, I mean subscribed with notifications to Kalvin Garrah, internally calling anyone who wasn’t a binary transgender or was non-conforming a trender, about to become a flop account admin- it was bad. My school’s GSA was split between truscum and tucutes, with I and another person being the only truscum. 

• There are only 2 genders - Male and Female

• Pansexuality is just a fancier name for Bisexuality. Even if you believe that there are more than two genders, there are only two sexes. Bisexuality is the attraction to both the sexes.

• You need dysphoria to be transgender. Being trans is not a choice. It’s a very difficult thing to deal with and by saying it’s a choice you are demeaning the struggles that actual trans people face.

• The Fat Acceptance / Health at Every Size movement is bullshit. It’s absolutely okay to be fat. It’s absolutely not okay to spread misinformation that being fat is healthy or that losing weight is impossible.

• The feminist movement is more of a leftist movement than a movement for women right now.

• Reverse racism isn’t a thing because it’s just called racism. If you dislike or are prejudiced against a person simply due to their skin tone, that’s being racist.

• MOGAI identities and neopronouns are not only silly, they are genuinely harmful to the LGBT community.

• Your race, gender and sexuality are only a minor part of you. They do not make you special. They are not your personality.

• Men face struggles too. Men are more likely to be victims of violent assault and almost never win child custody battles. There are hardly any male only centres for victims of sexual assault. Men do get sexually assaulted a significant amount more than people consider as the definition rape only includes penetration, skewing the statistics. Forced oral sex and the like is not counted, which is why male rape statistics seem so low at first glance.

• Women are not inherently goddesses. Men are not inherently evil.

• There is nothing wrong with being cis, white and male. Not being these things also doesn’t make you a better person.

• Words only have the power you assign to them. It’s silly to be afraid of them, irrespective of their usage in the past. All words have a history. By being afraid of them, you only give them more power and continue to dwell in the past.

• It’s absolutely okay to eat the food of and wear the clothes of other cultures as a means to immerse yourself and learn more. Segregation does no good, it never has.

• Your mental illness doesn’t cure you of your sins. It’s not a get out of jail free card if you were present, aware and in control of what you were doing.

Part two of my pride kitties for pride month (I made them in no particular order)! You may use these as icons with credit!

In order from top left to bottom right: aro, ace, agender, genderqueer, genderfluid, intersex 1, intersex 2, bigender, pangender, and neutrois!

I’ll be adding kitties everyday of pride month! (And yeah, I’ve added a watermark. I hope you enjoy them regardless!)

the thing i tend to hate the most about those trutran vs. tucute drawings is the idea that “real” trans men have naturally more masculine / androgynous builds than their hyper feminine, always curvy counterparts.

for example:

the person is blue seems to have a naturally more masculine build (im assuming they’re binding, but also notice the lack of any defined hips). meanwhile, the “trender” has a a noticeably more hourglass body. even if the person in pink WAS binding (which might not even make their chest flat), they’d still have noticeable hips, unless they were constantly wearing baggy clothes.

the person on the left has an hourglass figure while the person on the right has no noticable waist / hip definition. there’s a possibility that the person on the left also wouldn’t be flat chested, if they were binding.

the person on the right has much more noticable hips than the person on the left. also, there’s, again, a possibility that their chest wouldn’t be flat, even if they were binding.

this one’s pretty self explanatory. the person on the right, again, has no visible hips, as well as a more square + angular face, compared to the person on the left, who’s face is much more rounded. the person on the left has noticable breats + hips that would likely be hard to cover up, even if they were “trying to pass”.

person on the left is generally much thinner, + “feminine” looking, while the other person has a more masculine build, such as having more broad shoulders + less visible breats.

idk if it’s a nitpick, it’s just something that annoys me. trans guys, even if they’re highly dysphoric, don’t suddenly become more masculine looking over night. you don’t??? automatically lose any + all breast + hip definition by being “trutrans”. you don’t automatically get a more square face by being dysphoric.
