a man who thinks "i want to be a woman" is not necessarily a transgender person

"mr. b" is an ugly caricature of a type of person whose existence and influence *is* analytically significant. i think we need to sit in our discomfort about the spectre of the rotten egg.

i understand that i am in the minority here - hence decamping to my alt where i am 'openly' transgender

i have seen it suggested that "the trans community" is actually "the transitioning community". i do not agree with this fully. i have inhabited spaces where people have figuratively "aged out". this framing is applicable to my own experiences/patterns.

plugged into trans twitter/reddit since 2009. finally came out in 2018. very strictly stealth online and irl since 2020. seeing this thread motivated me to make an alt so i can start participating in these discussions again.

it has never ever ever been this bad. not ever.
if you're cis:

if you think you know how your trans friends are doing, you don't.
if you think you have a finger on the pulse, you don't.

i've been out for 12 fucking years, transphobia has never been this direct, explicit, and targeted, with the intention that we (redacted). check in
cis folks on here should have their feeds replaced by a trans person’s for a day. they’d see the fear, the anguish, the hopelessness of a community that is tired, broke, starving, and desperate for a shred of human decency in a world that wants to end us.
