cisness is such a trap, honestly, like i dunno how to say it. it’s like, cis people are so trapped in their perceptions of their own body and other people’s bodies? the coercion that everybody must go through is pretty much the same for everyone, cis or trans. it’s just that trans folks, but especially us trans  women & trans camab folks, are no longer under this “spell” and like, by existing, we come to put the spotlight on this little neat fact/lie and cis people hate us for it, ya know? they’d rather kill us and shit than face the illusion that is cisness and it’s so obvious in the way they treat us, in our daily interactions (and subsequent micro, verbal &/or physical aggressions/violences done us). and they know it’s a lie. they know the foundation of coercive assignment of “sex” at birth is complete and utter bullshit. they just want to maintain the status-quo so they can continue to illusion themselves and exploit us in any way they can. and they will do this at any cost. and all the better if the more of us die in the process.

I don't hate you. For all my cis friends, straight or not.

I do hate cis people. I don't hate you. I do hate the systematic murder of my brothers and sisters because of cisness. I don't hate you. I do have a lot of opinions about the way cis people view us. I don't hate you. I do hate the privileges that society rewards you as a cis person. I don't hate you. I do hate your cisness. I don't hate you. I do hate that I cannot trust anyone, especially cis people. I don't hate you. I do hate that cis people are considered normal, while we are considered vile and dangerous. I don't hate you. I do hate that all this has to be spelled out for cis people, because they literally do not listen when a non-binary person speaks. I don't hate you. I do hate that cis people think this is all about them. I don't hate you.
