The Rise of Trans Normative Culture
Let me start by saying I fully support trans rights and any discrimination against trans people is wrong. As a trans woman myself, I have experienced this first hand and know how distressing, depressing and hurtful it can be.
There are many good trans people out there, going about their normal life and who knows, you may interact with me daily and not know my background, my history and the pain I went through to get where I am today.
The rise of Gender Identity politics has seen a new language come into common use along with the rise of a hateful and at times potent new breed of transgender activists, mainly trans women.
The use of the word Cis, is now very common as trans activists prefix this to encompass anyone not under the transgender umbrella, which in itself is now so wide it would cover a small country.
Terms such as cis normative, cis gaze, cissexist are used daily, by activists to describe people who have opinions different to their own. The more hateful trans activists also came up with the disgusting hashtags #diecisscum #fuckcispeople and #killallmen.
This got me thinking deeply, as cis is the opposite of trans, then the terms equally apply to trans people, although I have yet to see the hashtags, #dietransscum and #fucktranspeople in everyday common use. So what does trans normative look like when applied to trans women, especially transgender activists.
Well trans normative, also contains the terms; trans gaze, trans envy, trans jealousy even trans arrogance, as subsets when they talk about cis women. Many trans activists bemoan they do not pass and wear there visible transness, as a badge of honour.
But dig through their tweets and postings and they really would like to pass as cis, have voices that allow them not to get misgendered on the phone, height and size that meets cisnormative beauty standards. This is truly trans normative beauty as opposed to cis normative beauty.
Trans normative is about NOT liking everyone under the transgender umbrella; stealth, cis passing, successful trans women (such as myself) draw a particular trans hate from visible trans women, as we are seen as traitors to the cause. Caitlyn Jenner is hated amongst the majority of trans activists, but she has gone through the same pain, depression and anguish as they have, albeit by a different route. Yes, its trans normative to hate these people as they draw attention to trans normative beauty standards.
It is trans normative to dismiss biology, science, medical understanding or any kind of research that does not support trans activist’s opinion. Society in general understands the concepts of Male & Female, Intersex, Men & Women, and even that gender can be a spectrum. It is now trans normative however for trans activists to believe they are Female, born Female and have always been Female, which not only erases the lives of Females growing up, but the experiences they go through, in socialization & puberty. Being born Male, there is no shared girlhood with girls growing up.
Only this week a well-known trans activist posted a tweet, proclaiming “If a cis woman & trans woman have a baby, it has two mothers as they are both Female. It is trans normative and transsexism to force “girldick” as a concept on people born Female.
Trans normative appears to be that you have to be queer (yes straight trans people – or cishets as trans normative language defines them) are again a hated element of the transgender umbrella. It also is more trans normative to be queer, poly and obviously declare yourself lesbian (although your 2 or 3 girlfriends are actually trans women).
Trans normative also encompasses all young children, who must be trans if they like to play the opposite gender roles, opposite gender toys or express any kind of non cis gender attributes. Trans kids, trans youth are again trans normative children, some of whom may wish to eventually define a different gender to their birth sex and some of whom may keep with that birth sex, that their cis normative parents have nurtured them into.
It is now trans normative and indeed bigoted to have any opinion other than what trans women activists believe. In fact, most of these other opinions are labelled, transphobia, transphobic and people who hold these transphobes. I myself believe I am transsexual, being born Male and longing to be Female. I transitioned to live as a woman, but that is seen as transphobic as it harms the trans normative views and opinions of many activists, who insist they were born Female (and assigned Male at birth – AMAB) obviously by a cissexist doctor.
It is trans normative to label any Female who talks about her vagina, periods as transphobic and cissexist and obviously trans activists would love it to be trans normal to centre trans women in all discussions about feminism. It of course should be trans normal that feminists fight to allow trans women rapists, murderers and cis women beaters to be held in women’s jails, no matter how much this potentially threatens the safety of cis women.
I don’t want to get drawn into the bathroom issue, but it is trans normative that anyone, under the transgender umbrella should be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice, even the non-transitioning, non-hormone taking, bearded person who dresses in Male clothing, but who identifies as a trans woman. Gender neutral toilets surely must be the answer to this complex issue.
As I started off by saying, I fully support the rights of trans people and legislation, society must change in order to do so. However, trans normative views are becoming a barrier to this and there is a level of every day trans normative hate and misogyny amongst trans activists that needs to change.
