We aren’t wanting to ruin your life or your self esteem. We aren’t wanting you to leave a conversation with us, wishing you were dead. We may not all be the best at keeping the right tone 24/7, but all we want is for you to walk away thinking. And that’s what ALL groups should do, regardless.

We want you to be safe, and be able to look back at yourself and be proud. Carrying around the burden of 15 labels all surrounding your emotions for each day of the week is exhausting, regardless of how well those labels fit you.

We want to show you cis = amazing just as much as you believe trans = amazing. That trans people have real struggles, and YOU have real struggles, but just because we both struggle does not mean we are in the same boat.

Dysphoria is the disconnect between a person’s gender and sex. Gender is determined by one’s neurosex. When the neurosex doesn’t match up with a person’s biological sex, it causes distress and discomfort. This is known as dysphoria, and it’s the single requirement to being trans, whether it’s minor or severe.

A trans person doesn’t have to go on hormones, have surgery, or conform to gender roles to be trans. This isn’t what transmeds stand for. We simply want cis people to stop latching onto the trans label when they’re not actually trans. They’re hurting both themselves and the trans community.
