it’s been a while. i figured i’d make a farewell post before probably deleting this blog altogether. i don’t believe in most of what i believed in when i created this. i’m not a transmedicalist, i’m not conservative in any way. i’m not a centrist. i’m incredibly progressive and would like to dismantle and rebuild the entire us government. i use he/they pronouns now, as a trans man. non-dysphoric trans people are not responsible for transphobia, and i really don’t care who says they’re trans. it doesn’t impact me in the ways i was falsely convinced it did.
i’d say i don’t know why i believed these things, but i do. i didn’t want people to know i’m trans, and i was stuck in a high school where every single person knew. i was trying to prove myself as “a good trans,” who had “rational” political opinions and was conservative in gender beliefs. this way i would be accepted by everyone, even conservatives. i wanted to separate myself from being trans as much as a i could, and minimizing it to a medical condition requiring treatment was the best way i could do that.
there are more than two genders and it doesn’t impact my life at all. queer isn’t always a slur, nonbinary people exist. they/them pronouns are valid, and so are neopronouns if that’s what you want. none of this affects my trans-ness. the identity of other people doesn't affect mine, and they are not responsible for negative experiences i have because of my identity. do what you want. be who you want. be who makes you happy. i'm really sorry if there were people who read my blog and posts and it made them feel bad or question themselves. i cared way too much about the lives of others, thinking they impacted me when they really, really don't. so please, identify as a nonbinary trans man, as nonbinary alone, as some other gender. use xe/xym pronouns, be a trans woman cosplaying as a male character. call yourself queer or pansexual, it's not just spicy bisexual.
be yourself. i will defend you, and i will never be who i was three years ago.
