'I Don't Experience Dysphoria, So I Must Be Faking Being Trans!' Come Over Here For A Second. A Little

'I don't experience dysphoria, so I must be faking being trans!' Come over here for a second. A little closer. I am now violently shaking you by your shoulders, screaming 'YOU DON'T NEED DYSPHORIA TO BE TRANS!' Don't let ANYBODY, and I mean ANYBODY, tell you that you aren't suffering enough for your identity to be valid. Fuck that transmedicalist bullshit; the whole thing was created to cater to transphobic cis people, by saying 'we're just mentally ill!' It's not your job to validate yourself to people who don't want you to exist anyway!

NON DYSPHORIC TRANS PEOPLE ARE VALID.

I'm embracing my inner boomer and deadnaming Twitter.

I shan't ever call it x. The youngins won't make me.

I'll not bow to the woke mob that wants me to recognize Twitter as x!!!

When God created Twitter he called it Twitter and god doesn't make mistakes!!

Normalize stealing shit from exclusionists. Flags, terms, etc: just fucking steal it. Reclaim it, make it yours, and fuck what the random person online thinks about your identity. Hell, they do that shit to us, so don't hesitate to do the same to them.

idk man i think that if you can read dozens and dozens of trans men talking about how their support systems abandoned them when they started getting too masculine on T or had top surgery or whatever, and queer spaces started treating them like threats or potential predators, and you find these stories going back to the 90s or even earlier, and you read all of that and come away thinking that there’s nothing wrong with how progressive communities treat men, you are just fundamentally beyond help dude. you don’t see us as people

i love being aro i love being a bi lesbian i love being a genderqueer girlbutch boyfemme i love having a gender that feels like stars and willows and roses i love respecting other people and the infinite vastness of queerness i love having a gender and sexuality experience influenced by my autism i love being queer in a political and social way i love being visibly queer i love the guy who got excited about my queer shirt today and the young person who told me my openness made them feel more open and the trans guy who worked at a store i went to who i'd never met before and was ranting about body standards with after 5 minutes i love the many young closeted kids who have approached me thanking me for the shirts i wear while cautiously making sure their parents couldn't hear them i love the friend with whom i mutually offered to take in another friend with transphobic parents i love the friends i've made being queer and the things i've learned and the community i've gained and i even love the anger and the pain because that is what will inspire me to change the world and i love that. i love being me.
