I AM SLAMMING MY FISTS ON THE TABLE

WHY CANT PEOPLE IN--AND ALMOST ESPECIALLY IN--THE LGBTQIA COMMUNITY TREAT TRANS PEOPLE LIKE REGULAR PEOPLE

okay sorry sorry no more shouting but STILL

i joked with my brother the other day that there's two sides to being transmasc, faggot✌️😙 and Just Some Guy, but i'm thinking about it and that is so not true.

like even take me for an example, i'm afab and i normally like expressing more masculine, but i also adore makeup and dresses and pink and things that are considered traditionally "feminine"

does that make me any less of a trans guy?

but my brother dresses like if adam sandler was a bean pole/aff and is he any less of a guy?

or my lovely amazing perfect boyfriend, who appears more feminine of the patriarchal standard, is it any less of a man?

no!!!!!

and this goes for trans women too!!!! trans women are constantly berated for not being "feminine enough," but if they tuck and go on hrt and wear makeup, then they're "not a real woman" and they're pretending.

anyway.

tl:dr, we need to get rid of societal beauty and gender standards and stop putting down people who don't express their gender identity in a stereotypical way
