#trans prescriptivism

[metapianycist]

languages are descriptive, not prescriptive. you can create new words. you can create new identity labels. identity labels are not set in stone with one definition forever, because language doesn't work that way.

it's also allowed for one word or one label (like trans) to have multiple valid definitions. that pluralism makes our interactions with each other far more vibrant and interesting.

prescriptivism will never affirm trans people's autonomy. and that's why i reject transmedicalism and affirm new gender labels like autigender.

Gettin' real tired of the bullshit spewed by various people toward posters in the FTM tag about how the only way to be FTM is to have top & bottom dysphoria and want top & bottom surgery.

Experiencing more dysphoria or more kinds of dysphoria than another trans person doesn't make you any more trans. Experiencing no body dysphoria doesn't make a person not-trans or less-trans. No, this doesn't the fuck mean that the trans identities of people who don't experience body dysphoria are "I like wearing [gender]'s clothes." If you're not in our heads, you don't know what our experiences of our genders are.

Stop attacking everyone who doesn't fit your idea of a ~true~ trans person. Your internalized cissexism is showing.
