ngl, the thought of someone writing a callout post about me and not knowing about is keeping me up at night

My friend: there is no such thing as non-binary. There are only two genders and you can’t say you don’t have a gender.

Me, who is going though an extreme identity crisis that I should probably tell people about instead of keeping it a secret and consequently suffering with some mental health issues: 😶

Hey, men of the internet, please reblog this if you enjoy sewing!

I’m trying to prove a point to my father who thinks it’s a female only activity for some reason and is using it against me bc I ‘identify’ a trans guy.

Hey, why does your character Hailey get referred to (in your excerpt and the WIP page) by her dead name/wrong pronouns. That's kind of transphobic.

You must be new here. Which is weird, cause you’ve taken a few looks at my WIPs, BUT I’m trans.

I’m a trans girl.

Hailey is the closest thing I have ever had to a self insert character.

She is (more or less) me in spirit, even if not in story.

And I dare y’all to tell me I can’t write my story how I want

While I’m on the subject: let me explain a little more about why I chose to represent Hailey at this point in her life.

Growing up as a trans girl in the Deep South, I never heard about other trans folk unless it was a butt of a joke (Family Guy) or someone suggesting that trans people are in some way perverted or defective. Enter the book Luna.

Luna. Fucking. Sucked. I read Luna and saw a lot of myself in Luna, but I also saw a selfish girl who put herself in front of her sister’s life Every. Chance. She. Got. Not a very good first book for a trans girl trying to figure things out. However, the other thing about Luna was that it was the only book about trans girls where their transition wasn’t completed. 

(There are probably more now, but I don’t know about them.)

The ones I read in my years of coming into myself (apart from Luna) were Almost Perfect (trans girl living and passing full time), If I Was Your Girl (trans girl living and passing full time), Becoming Nicole (trans girl whose gender was validated at a young age and allowed to start hormones early) and Being Jazz (again, a trans girl whose gender was validated at a young age and allowed to start hormones early).

All of which are perfectly beautiful and affirming stories. But… I never saw myself in them. I’m not full time. I’m not passing unless someone’s drunk. I didn’t start hormones till I was in my twenties. I never really had affirming trans stories about people in my stage of transition. And… I kind of could have used that growing up. 

So, yeah. Hailey’s still living in boy mode (hence using her dead name and he/him pronouns). Will she live that way forever? No. But, she is for now. And that’s ok. Transition is just that. A transition. And there’s nothing transphobic about being early on in your transition and deciding to live a certain way during it.

This has been a rant.

Oh my God, I cannot believe I even have to say this.

I am not cis.

I am not het.

I am not ace.

I am not an asshole.

I am embarrassed that y’all think you need to say these things about me to make yourselves feel better about your irrational hate.
