sorry, but you were socialized christian. I just can't trust you in a trans space

mousidy

they literally taught you that trans people were subhuman and that you were better than them. I don't know if you can be trusted around other trans people

mousidy

they scapegoated and abused you for showing signs of transness? uh... no? christianity is the most privileged religion there is. stop whining

mousidy

gotta say I was not expecting people to go to bat for my strawman

mousidy

me: "lol wouldn't it be crazy if trans communities treated ex-christian trans people who survived religious abuse the same way they treat trans women who they call 'male socialized'"

some of you, for some reason: "wait hold on that's a great idea"

mousidy

lotta people on this post going "ok well male socialization is fake and gay but christian socialization is Real and we should discriminate based on it" and I just think it's interesting how badly some people want to exclude others from queer community based on background

a lot of you clearly still believe socialization is an immutably tainting force, and you wanna be able to punish people for things you imagine they'll do because of it. can you at least wait for our hypothetical traumatized ex-christian to do something worthy of the punishment you're eager to inflict? can we wait for them to express a harmful belief instead of assuming they hold them? no? we just gotta bar them entirely? ok

mousidy

I actually don't believe you're normal to trans women if you believe there's such a thing as being eternally tainted by one's upbringing

Transfemme Spidey where she transitions in costume first, debuting as "Your friendly neighborhood Spiderwoman". It's NYC so this is mostly received either positively or without much notice. New Yorker don't really give a damn who they gotta fight if it's a fight.

Jonah remains oddly silent on the issue.

Parker, however, eventually works up the need to transition in her civvy life and comes out at work as Emily. The Bugle crew are happy and supportive, but she gets called into Jameson's office.

"Parker."

"Sir?”

"This is because of her, isn't it?"

"'Her'?"

"The Spider! This transition thing you're doing, it's because of her, isn't it? I know you're close; this is her doing, isn't it?”

"Well, sir, I–”

"Whatever. I'm... Grateful to her."

"... Sir?"

"Parker, you've been a miserable worm since I met you. I've seen you smile more this week than in the past five years put together. So... Tell her I appreciate that she gave you the courage."

Emily's eyes water. "Yes, sir."

"But if you tell anyone else, you're fired! Now get out there and get me better photos! Out!"
