not gonna make a long thread.
will simply say that if you get mad at trans women for wanting to "pass" (something that is always precarious and can be revoked at any moment due to a variety of circumstances), you're probably an asshole.

it's wild to me that we keep going through this, over and over again, always with the projection and the same tired, bad faith arguments
do I want to?: god yes
personally I kinda like the idea of not being assaulted in public either verbally or physically having experienced both
deeply weird to get mad at that imo
why does anyone who doesn't value it even fucking care that i actually want to pass?
like, how does it impact them in any way at all?
just let us fuckin be and do your gender abolition bullshit or whatever over there, idc, i just wan to be happy and that means being a girl
projection 😌
they should fuck off and focus on healing themselves rather than conscripting every trans person into the goddamn gender wars they didn't sign up for
show me a trans woman trying to pass that demands other trans women adhere to *her* own personal goals and identity. show me one!
now show me a trans woman decrying other trans women who try to pass as traitors and transmeds.
*runs out of characters*
1. You want/need to for personal reasons (self-actuation, style, something else)
2. You don’t want to get hatecrimed every time you’re in an area where the default Muzak is country music
Neither of which are up for debate
But also like… worry about your transition and let other people who want/need to pass worry about theirs
This isn’t hard
That sucks and it’s shitty, but it’s also not aggressively lashing out either
People need to stfu, mind their own business, and support their sisters, brothers, and enby siblings, however they want to be.
forgive me for the crime of wanting to lower my risk of being assaulted in public.
like, cool, "that says more about that person who does the misgendering or assaulting."
no shit! but i still might end up fucking dead!!
i didn’t sign up for this shit actually i just want to live a normal life and be happy and love myself and dance tyvvm
i just wanna eke out some modest semblance of a happy existence (whatever that means in this current hellscape) and love fiercely, and be loved in return, by those that are dear to me 💜
but if I go outside, not passing makes me “not alive” if i encounter the wrong person
but id like to move through society day to day without random folks knowing if i can
I'd already come out enough, I didn't need to come out every year to new staff
I wish people would stop doing transphobes work for them
i'm reminded of last summer as my friend and i were leaving LA trans pride and had a glass bottle hurled at our heads and "tranny faggots!" screamed in our direction.
like, forgive me for not wanting to experience that i guess.
the juxtaposition of having real joy at trans pride and then that... just really sucked
