( No Title )
Every day I get closer and closer to no longer identifying as trans, and simply being a genderless intersex person. Because the average trans perisex person is just as fucking intersexist as the average cis perisex person, and I’m so fucking tired of it.
Y’all try to split hairs and decide which experiences are “trans man experiences” and which experiences are “trans women experiences,” and you try to cram nonbinary people into “transmasc or transfemme,” and you insist on splitting trans people into categories based on their birth assignment, and you fucking wonder why you’re not making headway in any actual gender liberation.
Assholes.
Throwback to the time I posted on Facebook about how scared I was about the rise in transphobia because someone in my neighborhood had just screamed “TRANNY!” at me from a car window, and a (now very much ex) friend decided to lecture me about how I wasn’t as high-risk as some hypothetical trans woman and me talking about being scared was akin to cultural appropriation.
This. This is why we can’t make any fucking progress. Y’all are more interested in discourse over who’s allowed to identify as what or reclaim what slurs, and meanwhile, the average person is still going to call all of us trannies from the car window. And then probably shoot us and claim it was self-defense.
