Just venting in the void don't mind me.

Is it wrong to have passing privilege? To have a preemptive 'opt out' from every fight with a transphobe so many other trans girls fight every day? Is it internalized transphobia that I'm More comfortable being perceived as fitting the binary in my day to day interactions, or is it akin to survivors guilt that makes it feel like betrayal.

It feels wrong to meet a new friend who is out and proud about being trans, tell them I'm trans too, and yet ask them to not out me. Maybe I've had bad experiences with chasers, maybe I just don't want my right-wing town to turn against me because of something on facebook. Maybe it's a secret third thing.

It feels like being closeted all over again in a much more confusing way. It feels like betrayal to see others fight 'phobes and just "sit it out" - and it especially feels wack to ask them to enable my continued "protection" when they've either opted to fight the good fight or have no choice themselves.

"Don't add me on facebook, you're too clockable and my conservative coworkers are gonna catch wind that something's up"

It shouldn't be this complicated to feel more comfortable being at less risk of being hatecrimed?

Passing, I'm pretty sure, is the goal of tons of trans goals. It's like the end goal. Why should I feel guilty for attaining it? Yet I still do. There's the ones that couldn't care less, too. They're out there loud and proud making us more normalized by setting an example to the 'phobes. Honestly that's the good fight that needs to be fought, but I don't have it in me. Trauma response? Maybe but I shouldn't need an excuse to sit it out without guilt!

It feels weird to claim solidarity and allyship when I receive near none of the backlash they do for existing. It feels weird to call ourselves the same label though our experiences differ greatly.

I think about this shit constantly.

Anyone else remember when we were like, decades ahead of this kind of thinking, and advocating for co-ed sports, because we all understood that two people undergoing the same training at the same intensity for the same amount of time would achieve roughly the same result regardless of agab?

you will probably not look like a skinny white anime girl when you transition you will likely look like someone's mom and you need to realize how swag this is

[punkitt-is-here]

I saw a picture of my mom last week and did a double take because we both realized how similar we look. skinny white anime girls are not real women but your mom is. I promise you look like a real woman

Tired: Time traveling to visit your pre transition self to tell them that they're trans.

Wired: Time traveling to visit random cis boys that look vaguely like you to tell them that they're trans.

"What if I'm not trans, what if I'm choosing to be trans for [list of reasons]"

I am grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you like a can of soda. If, for whatever reason, you looked within yourself and decided to be trans - you're still trans. We (as trans people) don't need to have an "I always knew" story. We don't need to have the ~magical transsexual gene~. It's incredibly hard for so many of us to figure out why we're trans, and if being trans was always a choice, the reasons for choosing to be trans would be complex. If being trans is always a choice, that doesn't negate that we deserve human dignity and respect for who we are.

It shouldn't matter if you chose your trans identity or not, becayse you still are a person. You breath the same air I do, and you deserve to live how you want, on your terms. You watch the same sunrises and sunsets I do, you are here. I, for one, welcome you no matter what your inner reflections are about your transness. You have a place in this world, you have inherent worth.

all of this and. cis people do not choose to be trans. they just don’t. if that’s a choice that appeals to you, you are not cis.

Montana House votes to formally punish transgender lawmaker, Rep. Zooey Zephyr

Republicans in the Montana House have voted to formally punish Democratic state Rep. Zephyr by banning her from attending or speaking during

I haven’t seen a lot of talk about this, and I know we’re all emotionally/mentally exhausted in the USA with rights being stripped, but I think this is important. She’s a brave fucking woman, who is no longer allowed to speak for the people she represents.

Much like the Pearson and Jones expulsion, this is a flagrant move against democracy. However unlike P&J, she wasn’t expelled, just not allowed into the House meetings and not able to speak. She can vote, at least, but…that’s not much in a republican majority.

Is it cringe to be into trans men but not cis men? I’m a transfem and I don’t know if this is fetishistic but I’m just always feeling unsafe around cis men in a way trans men never made me feel. I feel guilty about it and don’t know how to explain it outside of that.

nah i think it’s valid. there are gonna be some ppl who will be weird abt it bc they’re obsessed with insisting that trans men are indistinguishable from cis men but that’s just simply not true. we’re different from cis men, so dating us will be a different experience, and that’s okay. it’s okay to want that different experience, especially as a fellow trans person. as long as you just treat them like a human being and don’t make weird comments about their genitals, which i’m sure won’t be a problem, then you’re all good. live ur t4t dreams.

[spacelazarwolf]

and like. i kinda have weird feelings abt fetishization bc like ok.

i hooked up with a queer person who used all the right language and did all the right things, but then they told me they only date ppl who were afab, regardless of gender. they’ll fuck ppl who were amab but they won’t date them, only afab ppl. the further we got into the convo, it became clear that the reason they only wanted to date ppl who were afab is bc we are more likely to have been socialized to take on the brunt of the domestic and emotional labor in relationships. that hookup ended up lasting over an hour bc they kept interrupting sex to complain about their ex wife. by the end i was practically shoving them out the door because i was so uncomfortable.

the guy i’m hooking up with right now is very cis and found me through the ftm tag on grindr, so he was specifically looking for trans guys. he told me he’s into trans guys because he likes sleeping with masculine people, mostly men, but he also likes the way vaginas feel. could that be seen as fetishistic? sure. does it feel that way to me when we have sex? nope. he uses gender affirming language without even being asked, he tells me he’s super into my body and gets excited when he notices that i’ve grown more hair or had a t dick growth spurt. he likes my body because it’s trans, and i’m perfectly okay with that.

i felt so much more fetishized by the queer person who was actively seeking out afab ppl to take advantage of essentially patriarchal trauma than i ever have by the guy who just likes trans pussy. so i feel like we just really need to have a conversation about what it actually means to fetishize someone because it very much feels like it’s just become “thinks trans ppl are hot” and i hate that literally other trans ppl are scared of finding other trans ppl hot for fear of fetishizing. trans ppl are fucking hot! our trans bodies are hot! it’s okay to be sexually attracted to trans bodies!
