genuinely going to personally just start replacing any transx terms i relate to with my own term, Ontohope.
Not because im anti all transx terms, im very neutral leaning pro on all nonharmful ones, but because honestly? 1 i dont like the sound, transx sounds so clunky to me... 2 the community itself holds alot of negative memories with me, and unfortunately does trigger me due to that and 3 i think it's a better descriptor for how it feels to us,
so take a nonofficial coining post, I might make another post later on that includes a flag, but here's a little definition
Ontohope - An Identity referring to the hoping/longing of something your being - that being your physical body, or your identity - does not have. This can be nearly anything.
Ontohope does not claim the user IS that thing, however experiences a longing to be, and in cases where appropriate, would like to transition to such thing. Ontohope also supports all types of dysphoria, but not all types of transitions.
Ontohope doesn't include folk who want to transition to things that would be harmful for them or others, but instead is pro-healing from such feelings, and finding alternatives to relieve dysphoria. ( example . Cane User Ontohope would be reccomended to getting a walking stick, preferably bought from a thrift store/nonmedical shop, but discouraged taking medical resources nor harming themselves to transition ).
X Ontohope = used to specify what the user long for. ( Example . We are Love Ontohope, we hold a longing to be the concept of love. )
im very curious as to what others thing of this, so feel free to tell me if you like it 💕
I will add Transid folk can interact and even use these terms ofcourse, however do be aware we hold bad memories when it comes to your community, and we block freely. Though we do love y'all despite ❤️.
