You know what I have zero fucking patience for these days?
Friendly fire from trans people at trans people, and especially body shaming or mean girl-type shit.
It is twenty fucking twenty five. We are facing a global goddamned pogrom. We need ✨community✨ right now, to support each other.
We are fucking adults. The trans experience is vast and varied and fucking weird, and I mean that in the most wonderful possible way. What works for someone else won't work for you and that's goddamned wonderful.
So fucking act like adults, now more than you ever have.
If someone is an annoying little shit?
Swallow your irritation and fucking ✨deal with it✨.
If someone's transition makes your skin crawl?
✨Celebrate it anyway✨.
They're trying to get us all to self-exterminate. It's the Playbook from The Transsexual Empire, word for word.
Build. People. Up.
If you absolutely cannot take a single further word from a trans person?
Block them ✨and then move the fuck on✨.
Act like the fucking adult you're supposed to be.
I offered a trans gal who'd just recently had top surgery some support today. She was freaked out by how big her tits felt right then. I told her about mine, and reassured her that they'd feel normal in a bit.
And she took the opportunity to Mean Girl at me and body-shame.
And you know how I responded?
I doubled down on the support, and gave her the benefit of the fucking doubt.
Because trans people ✨need mutual support right now✨.
And don't go fucking looking for where this happened, or with who. She deserves her fucking peace and gentle support in recovery.
As. Do. We. All.
The next four years are gonna be awful. And like any group of people, some of the trans people we share space with aren't gonna live up to our personal ideals. They're gonna piss us off.
As long as they're not actively harming other trans people?
WE GO ARM IN FUCKING ARM WITH THEM. PERIOD.
And to be clear, when I say harm, I mean ✨actual physical harm✨ and/or ✨direct risk for physical harm as a result of emotional cruelty✨.
Not "they implied something mean."
Not "they're problematic."
Not "they make the rest of us look bad."
