Listen, You Are Valid, Your Identity Is Valid And You Deserve Respect. Remember That. And Anyone Who

Listen, you are valid, your identity is valid and you deserve respect. Remember that. And anyone who dares say your identity isn't valid, just because they can't accept it, is an ignorant fool. So what if they're "not used to it", they still have to try, even if they get it wrong sometimes, it's still important to try, a mistake is one thing, but purposefully refusing to respect your identity is another thing entirely. Mk? If anyone disrespects your identity, just remember they are fools who know nothing. You are still you, and you will always be you, man.

And mark my words, anyone who dares to disrespect someones identity will regret it. Mark my words.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND ALL OTHER ASSORTED FAIRYTALE BEINGS, I NEED HELP WITH SOMETHING!

I have a transmasc friend who lives in an unsupportive environment, and I really want to help him out. He isn’t misgendered as female, but is told that nobody should have to use his preferred pronouns (He/They) because they aren’t used to them, and that ‘for good public image’, he should use They/Them only when he ‘must advertise his gender to the public’.

Obviously I’m pissed as FUCK, because this is exactly what I experienced (and still experience) as a young transmasc adult. I know firsthand how shitty it feels to be told that your identity doesn’t deserve respect or acknowledgement because ‘people aren’t used to seeing you that way’.

The main message of this post: ANYBODY who adds a note, whether liking, reblogging, or replying, will have their username written down in a notebook that I will send to him to show his family. If you reblog/reply with a supportive comment or tag, I’ll write that too under your username.

Please and thank you all ❤️
