If you want to know what it’s like being trans just imagine yourself exactly as you are but everyone else sees you as someone else and if you correct them they may kill you.
this this this. honetly like we need to reframe the entire discussion around trans issues becuse the problem is not trans people, it eeryone else. young trans kids dont get bullied bc theyre trans they get bullied bc other people teach their shitty kids to hate trans people
Re-blogging at break-knuckle speed.
my fave is the argument “it’s bad to be trans bc so many trans people are suicidal” like ?? you think that has nothing to do with you???
yup yup. but if you look at the stats for trans kids with supportive families, those numbers going down. it’s not “being trans -> suicidal” its “being trans->other people are transphobic and hateful-> suicidal”
It’s not being different that hurts. It’s the way people respond to that difference.
