Trans Anger Is Justified. I Have Been Told My Entire Life That Who I Am Was Less Important Than How People

Trans anger is justified. I have been told my entire life that who I am was less important than how people feel about me and when I came out, I was bombarded with denial. I've been told that I'm predatory simply because I am trans, I've been called names, I've been put under the microscope dozens of times.

If trans anger makes you uncomfortable, know that transphobia has made millions of trans people uncomfortable and unsafe.

Dude you know the question you asked what do conservatives get out of supernatural? So yesterday I found out that a friend of mine from high school who is a 22yo white cishet right-leaning Roman Catholic dude who is currently serving in the military watched all 15 seasons of supernatural. Apparently he liked the guns and the fighting and he also felt like Sam and Deans’ relationship with each other and with their father reflected a lot of his own experiences growing up with 5 brothers and a military father who was gone more often than not. When he started watching, his fav character was Sam but by the end, that had shifted to Dean although he disliked the fact that Dean was, and this is a direct quote, “such a whore.” I asked him if he liked the ending and he said that it was okay, that Dean’s death was “bullshit” but that the brothers got to enter heaven together and that’s what was most important. I additionally asked him what he thought of Castiel and he said that he thought his character was boring and he disliked it when the show tried to make Cas the center of episodes. He had absolutely no memory of what happened in 15x18 and had to look up the synopsis again to remember that Cas died. **********ADDITIONAL FACTS ABOUT MY FRIEND THAT MAKE ALL OF THIS ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL: we met through ballet, one of his other favorite shows is Hannibal, he is an absolutely lethal jujitsu fighter, he has no idea what tumblr is, he works on motorcycles and vintage cars for fun which his dad taught him how to do, and when he was 18, after his gf at the time cheated on him, he decided to give up on women and he dated a gay friend of his for 3 months. Apparently he figured out pretty quickly that he was “definitely straight” but he kept dating/having sex with his friend/boyfriend until they both moved away because “he was a genuinely good dude” and he “didn’t have to catch so it was fine.” Yes he did suck dick. I asked

HELLO????????

it doesnt matter what all of the intricacies of your identity are, if lesbian resonates with you, if lesbianism is where you find your home, your a lesbian through and through. you can have the most complex, confusing, or even "contradicting" gender and/or orientation, and youre still just as valid as any other lesbian! you dont need to worry about how others perceive you, or how others try to define words for the whole community, because they dont have an actual say in how you can identify or how anyone can use a word (bc words arent static and dont mean just one thing all the time and everywhere).

all queer labels can be open and fluid! all of them are available to the messy, complex existences so many of us fall into! just because we dont fall into cookie cutter molds that society wants of us, doesnt mean we dont exist, that we have to force ourselves to fit them- we deserve to exist in our own way and be our incredible, unique selves 💖

heres to every lesbian with complex identities, i love you and im here for you! 🌙🌙🌸

on another note: trans men are not rewarded for being feminine.

I know it can be hard to forget in microcommunities on tumblr, but trans men are Not rewarded by society for being feminine. either their identity as trans men are called into question/suppressed entirely, or they’re (correctly) interpreted as gnc men and treated as such.

I did not have my parents look me in the face and tell me that they were struggling to see me as a man because I chose to wore a skirt one time only to have someone on tumblr dot com imply that the way that I choose to present is somehow the default or Easy way for trans men to exist. I did not question whether I’d be Safe presenting the way that I want to while transitioning because I Know I live in alabama and that being a visibly gnc man could be dangerous only for someone to imply that “uwu softbois” are the socially acceptable version of trans men (which is why they’re justified in mocking them)

you wanna take this outside bro???? you wanna watch the stars with me bro????? confess our feelings under the moon bro?????
