#bc transmed/tucute discourse is fucking useless my post should have just talked about it as a trans experience

[swordbeliever]

i want to make it clear btw i honest to god dont actually care that much about internet discourse. like yeah i definitely agree with certain points more but when i rb those things its mostly in good fun.

idgaf if someone uses weird pronouns and gender labels honestly!! its stupid to me and i dont get it and i’ll rb posts making jokes abt it but if someone irl tells me they use neos im just going to nod and move on, maybe ask if they have alt pronouns bc neos are hard for me to use.

i care far more about actual genuine action and activism and queer theory and i want this blog to primarily be focused on that. identity is complex and confusing and i dont really feel like its in my personal best interest to argue with randos online about whether their definition of an identity is the same as mine. theres more important issues at hand that id like to talk about so yeah.

idk i guess i’d still be considered by definition a transmed but im tired of people villainizing either side of that “debate” as if we’re not all going through the same shit at the hands of legislature and bigots. i shouldnt have to worry about being put in a blocklist because one time i said that trans people have dysphoria and didnt qualify that with every little detail of my viewpoint on what makes someone trans (which, btw, i feel like is a lot more than dysphoria but online discourse thrives on lack of nuance). i also dont think its fair to discount anyones view because they define transness broader than you do! just like. chill? idk.
