every time someone realizes they dont have to pick between being a boy or a girl an angel gets its wings btw. and also extremely loud cheering can be heard in the distance from me specifically
sorry i will never understand cis grief. your daughter is living her best life and going around with friends and feeling like a human being. your son doesn’t feel like he needs to crawl out of his skin anymore and can actually smile. your children are happy and no longer see their existence as the worst thing in the world. why are you grieving this lmao. grow up.
Over Thanksgiving, my wife's mom said to her that she grieved "the son she lost". It pained my beloved so much that she asked me if I ever mourned her like that (we had been dating for like 10+ years before she realized she was trans). I said no; and, when asked why, I thought about it for a second.
Being a very metaphorical thinker, the image of a butterfly came to mind. This beautiful thing that grew out of something else. No longer what it was before, but something new and wonderful. A continuation, a becoming, a realization of self.
I turned to my wife and said "you do not mourn the caterpillar".
She loved that so much that I got @vaspider of NerdyKeppie to put it on a pennant to hang in our home.

this speaking as a cis person. Nothing brings me more joy seeing people find gender euphoria in becoming a mediocre representation of humanity. And I mean that so genuinely. Local boy finds joy and fulfillment wearing a cargo shorts and t-shirt combo. Local girl has transitioned to look like someone's disheveled aunt, has never been happier. Local person experiences gender euphoria rocking the world's worst bowl-cut. Without a scap of irony, this shit makes me see the wonder and whimsy in just, being a human. An average, person going through their day-to-day, is a wondrous thing? That's amazing. And heteronormativity has stripped these experiences of their joy. Like you're right, wearing a basic girlypop skirt should make my heart sing. Why not? Why are these expressions lesser because they're normal? All this to say. Shoutout to all the basic bitches out there. Yes that polo shirt does make you look like a divorced golfer dad. Yes, that too is kind of a slay, now that I think of it.
(Thank you @eggxeggxegg for taking this wonderful picture of me. Extra happy pride to you.)
You all know me and my unending support for the lgbtq+ community and especially every trans person that needs an extra hug in difficult times. This pride I would like to remind everhaj that pride is for everyone.
Pride is for everyone who's gender identity, romantic attraction and or sexual attraction dosent fit into societys mold for the norm. No matter how "normal" of a label you have I imagine all of us have met someone who wasn't accepting in one way or another. So instead of in fighting about who have it worst, we should extend our fins and make sure even the smallest mircolabel in our community have a space and a month for them to feel welcomed, accepted and proud to be who they are!
So be kind, be respectful and remember your roots!
(And if you come across a bad transphobe you know where to send them.)
Sincerely
Gulhaj
Hello everyone! Ooc here.
This year have been extra hard for me as a transgender person for personal reasons I wont dive into. I imagine I am not the only one.
Each year the world becomes a better and more safe place. Becaouse we fight for it to become it. We have to fight for all of us. As soon as we let one part of the community down it becomes easier to destroy the next. Thouse that hate the Trans community dosent care if you are nonbinary or a transman or woman. So why should we pretend to be better and "at least not be like thouse lgbtq+ members."
This pride I have seen a lot of infighting. Maybe I have just been unlucky with what came across my dash. Regardless. I have seen a lot of misery fights between members of the transgender community about who is more oppressed. A debate that will get us no where.
At the same time I have seen people deny that aromantic, asexual and or aplatonic people is part of our community. Being ridiculed and generally misunderstood. Which breaks my heart to see.
So try to be understanding. Even for things you dont understand. Think neopronouns are hard? Imagine someone who feels as respected and loved when you call xim with the right pronouns as you felt the first time you got gendered correctly in public.
We are the same.
We are one community.
There needs to be space for all of us.
Sincerely
Ooc
