every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

That's just it. I'm cis-het but I've seen so many times when after someone comes out they turn into what is clearly the person they were meant to be, and usually so much happier with themselves. How could you see that and think it's bad?

Nearly everyone I know has yes. I can think of one that didn't, but I haven't checked in with them in maybe a decade. By far the exception not the rule.

I can't say for trans but know when my brother could finally come out as Gay it was certainly a case for celebration because we got to know the real person, he could be himself. People should be allowed to celebrate their diversity, not have to hide it.

It’s a fear of the different, exacerbated by the fact these rich types have never had to introspect or critically think in their life

All of them, in fact. In different ways, but imagine trying to go through life spending 3/4 of your mental energy forcing yourself into an uncomfortable box enforced by violence and then just think what you could do once you laid that burden down.

A beloved professor cracked her shell years after we studied together, and I only learned by reading her obituary. If I'd been a better friend, I could have supported and acknowledged her.

bravery in the name of living authentically with no regrets.

I bumped into someone I knew from school a few years ago and she'd transitioned. She had a smile I'd never seen her have before.

They are miserable in spite of their fabulous wealth, and want other people to be just as miserable.

Hoarding is a mental condition.

megablandfox.bsky.social•51 days ago

This reminds of a friend of mine who started transitioning. It's so delightful seeing them so happy.

heart0fink.bsky.social•51 days ago

To me, it almost feels like they're jealous of trans people. Seeing people self actualizing and becoming fulfilled drives them crazy because it's something they don't have and can't buy. I wouldn't be surprised, especially in muskrat's case above all.

catsidhi.bsky.social•50 days ago

Money and the status they bought with that money is all they have. It can't buy class or decency and you can't take it with you. I couldn't be prouder of Vivian (Musk's daughter, though that fuck would say otherwise) for standing up to her shitrag of a dad.

Not only that, I love the world with trans people. It's so much better.

likewhitewine.swifties.social•51 days ago

Yep and my example of this is, wait for it, a teenager! One of my students absolutely blossomed after socially transitioning with full family and teacher support. It was amazing to witness. 🩷

naughtykyuubi69.bsky.social•51 days ago

they're empty soulless ghouls and they know it. They suffer in their own way and this is how their fear manifests

The dead eyes to full personality pipeline!

I'm starting to genuinely believe they see us happy as ourselves, without directly involving money/fame or any of the other things that they worked/exploited to get that didn't bring them the same level of joy, and they want to kill us because of it.
Our existence proves they chased the wrong thing.

moonshinefox.bsky.social•50 days ago

It’s a form of joy they can’t extract, homogenized, bottle, and sell to the masses for a profit to distract them from their exploitation.

foxbuninc.bsky.social•51 days ago

100%, and this fits into a much broader critique of how stymieing happiness is a crucial part of upholding an unjust and oppressive system. 🦊

jwvizzard.bsky.social•51 days ago

More than one.

corrinmuir.bsky.social•50 days ago

This. Just… this. Being early in my own part of this journey, this resonates on so many levels. Not the least of which is that financial “richness” doesn’t equal happiness, and that true happiness requires introspection, reflection, and work towards embodying our best and most authentic selves.

transaurusrx.bsky.social•51 days ago

Being trans is genuinely such a profound act of self and creation. It's so beautiful. Just the closest have ever come to understanding faith.
It should be the most joyous, loving process. The best reflection of being human

mcnutcase.bsky.social•50 days ago

I know multiple trans people for whom the alternative was "dead", and I'm very glad they're still with us. My favorite comment to make on trans selfies is how happy they are.

mylittlelefty.bsky.social•51 days ago

With the recent ruling, and TERFS stiring the pot in broader society (people I know parrot TERF talking points/think trans women are rapists) has made it harder for me to want to be out in public as trans.. Trying to reach out to groups but difficult not to feel alienated/retreat to stealth..

llbroadwell.bsky.social•51 days ago

my teen and childhood years are a dead void to me, because I couldn't be who I truly was. it's taken a long time to set that right but I regret none of it.

catsidhi.bsky.social•51 days ago

Watching my trans husband blossom into the person xhey wished to be was one of the most *joyous* experiences of my life. Knowing how much other trans people have suffered by extension is like a knife lodged in my heart. They deserve so much better.

supinearcanum.bsky.social•51 days ago

I think that's because those rich bastards chased the capitalist dream, and instead of blooming, only found wilt and rot, and that betrayal has angered them to the point of awful nihilism. Seeing someone else succeed w/o the system you worked so hard for that fucked you makes them do ugly things.

juliejones.bsky.social•51 days ago

I did. The change was miraculous. She was so very happy. Unfortunately, a health issue took her from us, but I'll always remember her joy. Miss you, Ari!

catsidhi.bsky.social•50 days ago

I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for supporting your friend.

clairemarz.bsky.social•50 days ago

Yes.

mentholbreakdown.bsky.social•50 days ago

We should be holding whatever the opposite of a funeral is for that

cwilhelm24.bsky.social•51 days ago

Well said. Trans people have the same right to their pursuit of happiness as everyone else.
