(This isn't directly directed at OP, but I need an excuse to ramble about this stuff lmao.)

I'm not inherently against truscum, either. However, from what I've seen they appear to just use their rhetoric to invalidate other people. That's what I'm against. I have seen so many bad examples of the trumed community that I have trouble believing that anyone who identifies as truscum/trumed is a good person. Because more often than not– and this my opinion– they're a hateful group of people. They hate themselves for being trans, and they hate others who are happy to be trans. And that is pitiful to me.

However, I can understand looking at a GNC trans person, or a non-dysphoric trans person, and thinking "wow, they're making a mockery of something I struggle with. How dare they!" But how dare ANYONE police other people's identities? They can say that they care about these "trenders" all they want, but they don't. It's so obvious that they don't, because if they did, they wouldn't constantly berate these GNC and non-dysphoric trans people. They wouldn't be invalidating their identities. Use your truscum logic to validate your own identity, but don't use it to invalidate others and expect to be accepted by the wider trans community.

Fuck off and let people use xenogenders. Let people use neopronouns. Because as much as it feels that they're mocking your struggles, they aren't. It's their personal identity and it doesn't invalidate their experiences (or yours!). pressuring people to be dysphoric, pressuring them to want to be cis and not have fun with their gender, is ASTRONOMICALLY fucked up.

If a truscum comes across this post, I want you to know that I don't hate you or your group. I hope that you can find peace within yourself, without hurting others. Being trans isn't a disease, a horrendous thing (though it can feel like it is). It can be hard sometimes, but it doesn't have to be ugly.

Have a good moment in time, whoever is reading this post. <3

Wondering if the whole “need dysphoria” to be trans thing” Is actually harming youth

Now I’m not against transmeds/truscums. Im not even against trucutes! But as a teenage person I spend 90% of my time purposefully forcing dysphoria onto me to ensure that I am “trans and not faking it”

It makes me feel like I don’t know who I am anymore. Countless rituals of just me doing the same thing to make sure im trans and not faking it or I get euphoria.

 On those few days I don’t give a fuck, I’m so much more happier. I don’t care if I’m “100% trans guy” or “100% cis girl”: I’m just me! And I’ve heard other people feel pressured too thanks to the dysphoria thing.

it is. so weird to me that I'm having to say this again after a real-life cartoon supervillian already once ran for president on a platform of hatred & fascism and won, but.

it's November, please fucking vote

you gotta accept the entire lgbtq bro, it’s all or nothing

Sure why not

Reblog if your blog is a safe space for these identities: agender, demiboy, demigirl, genderfluid, non-binary, and transgender!

My personality has not changed one bit on testosterone. It can absolutely happen, but I think it's not talked about enough when people go on T and... nothing happens to them, personality-wise.

Transphobes like to fearmonger about how all trans men become gross, angry, horny monsters, but I literally didn't change at all. Oh, I had a brief increase in libido after my second shot, but that faded away and has not returned.

I'm still just me. I'm just me with some extra T inside me. Didn't make me a demon. Didn't make me aggressive. Didn't make me want to rape people. Didn't make me gross or dirty or smelly. Didn't make me objectify women.

None of those things are traits of testosterone. Those are traits of assholes, and being an asshole is a trait you learn, not something you're born with.

i love trans people with "freaky" genders. i love trans people with "boring" genders. i love trans people with genders they don't even fully understand, genders that change, genders that are static, genders that are binary, genders that are obscure, and genders that are more than one of these things at once. i love trans people feeling free and open to express themselves and being happy to share their gender with the world regardless of what it is. i love trans people feeling empowered and passionate and refusing not to share their gender with the world regardless of what it is.

i love deeply dysphoric trans people. i love trans people who are learning to share themselves in small ways. i love trans people who jump between self-love and self-hatred on a daily basis, trans people who are only safe to be themselves inside their homes, and trans people who are only safe to be themselves inside their heads.

are you a scenecoric transmasculine lesbian? amazing. i love you. are you a binary trans man? fabulous. i love you. an agender high-fem queer? a transfeminine gay man? a system with both cis and trans alters? a binary trans woman? a voidgender nblm transmasc? a trans man who is considering he might be nonbinary? a nonbinary person who is considering they might be a trans woman? are you just plainly Not Cis in a way you can't describe? incredible. fantastic. fucking effervescent. i'm obsessed.

forget valid, fuck valid. your gender is worth celebrating. it's amazing. it's actively cool as hell that you are who you are.
