This blog exists for those who do not understand people with identity inconcruence (pwii, for shorthand) which may also use the label "transid" or "transx". At the very least, even if you disagree with our existences, know thy enemy. A lot of what you have been fed is biased and/or made up.
Above all else this blog stands for freedom of identity and expression, and bodily autonomy.
Pinned post! Please read under the cut before sending in any asks!
Preferred conduct / rules
Obviously, I cant make you follow them, but going against this will probably just result in your ask being disregarded.
Please engage with us in a civil manner. We will engage with you like this, and I won't answer or take seriously any ask with hostile tones and threats.
Please maintain an open mind. I want you to take the time to consider what others have to say. We will do the same for you.
If you disagree with a specific point we made, cite it and explain why. We won't keep responding if you refuse to actually engage with any of the things we've posted. No repeating points we've already discussed unless you're going to further on it. (Ex: "but they're food!" "Potatos are food, but not a fruit." "But they're food!")
You are absolutely allowed to ask us to go more into depth on something if you feel as though it was inadvertently discussed or you lack the background knowledge on it.(ex: you mentioned trees are alive, but aren't they plants? Please explain what you meant.)
We won't require sources on everything- this topic is often very subjective, and all about personal experiences and feelings. Asking for or demanding sources would be outrageous and we understand that. We ask you understand that too. This is discussion of people feelings, not on how to build a car.
Please do not ask questions about unrelated topics such as shipcourse or syscourse.
Understand that one person doesn't speak for all of us- that of course includes me! Some people may have ideas I don't agree with, many may disagree with mine- if you see someone say something and tag it transid- don't assume we agree with it bu default.
Refrain from insulting us or others on our blog
Refrain from assuming things about others that you do not know
Futher,
We will not ever advocate for / tell other people to harm themselves or others. We do not consider surgery to be self harm, so long as it is with a professional, in a controlled and trustworthy environment. That being said- this is not the place to ask about medical procedures- I am not a doctor. I'm not even close to being a doctor. Feeling like your body doesn't match your external self can be frustrating but the answer is not to wing it and try it yourself.
We will not, have not and never will advocate for or encourage sexual activities with children. This is a misconception often associated with especially labels such as transage. It's regurgitated queerphobia.
Just because something is a social construct, doesn't mean that construct doesn't exist or that the construct is not based off of something else which is real.
While we are pro transid, there are elements we do not agree on or will not talk about. I will define our definition of transid here.
Transid: trans-identity. Generally a person who faces incongruence and sometimes dysphoria (or euphoria) around aspects of their identity. Usually this means an internal version of the self or desire for the self that does not match the external self.
An example could be a person who internally feels as though their body should be a dog's. Externally, of course, they are human. This may cause them distress.

Time stuck - people who's internal sense of the current time is inconcruent. Theyre inherently pwii but may consider themselves/ that facet of themselves to be.
Salmacian - people who desire mixed or unusual genitals. Not inherently pwii but may consider themselves/ that facet of themselves to be.
* these words are used for contextual reasons mostly in discussions about personal experiences. They are not here to invalidate anyone. They are important when addressing people who may be asking questions about themselves, and help illustrate the fact not all trace people are white, many are not.
