reblog to remind a trans person that no matter what they have or haven't been through as a trans person they're still trans and deserve to use that label
Lol why would they need permission to use a label. It's not good to cultivate a constant search for externam validation.
for a lot of trans folks, calling themselves trans is demeaned or said to be something only trans people that go through a lot of external factors (eg. personal discrimination, eviction, abuse) "can/should" be able to use. when i made this post, my brother was struggling with feeling guilty because of how some people cultivate transness as something that can only be claimed after a certain amount of hardship. transness applies to anyone that is trans, and that's the long and short of it!
