I wish I could talk more on here about how uncomfortable I feel about being trans without people thinking I agree with truscum. I know suffering isn't inherent to trans people's existence and I'm so happy for trans people who do love themselves!! But unfortunately that isn't my experience and it hasn't been for 4 years now. I can barely look in the mirror and I can't talk about being trans without cringing and I'm getting upset just typing this out. Really do think being exposed to transphobia online has traumatised me to some extent esp considering I used to seek out people like that when I was younger to fight with and hate read what they say about trans people. And it's especially awful when it comes from your supposed community whether that's cis LGB people or truscum or people who pretend it's activism when it's hate. I just wish everything would be so much better for trans people.
