I've had several people contact me recently who are trans, and are afraid to speak up. They all know how much they stand to lose, their friends and allies, and more.
So let me explain a bit about "allies".
They need you far more than you need them.
So let me explain a bit about "allies".
They need you far more than you need them.
Your identity is based around serious issues, medical treatment, permanent physical changes. It is undeniable, no matter how hard some may try to deny it when you break away.
Whereas, an "allies" identity is entirely based around their "support" of you.
Whereas, an "allies" identity is entirely based around their "support" of you.
Without you to "support", they have NO identity. They have to face up to being a useless person with no purpose in life.
They can only exist so long as you require their support. There is the reason they react so strongly when you decide to stand against their bullshit.

Their existence REQUIRES you to remain weak and dependent.
They feed you fear so that they can comfort you.
They paint the world as terrifying, so that they can claim to protect you.
They make you weak, so you must lean on them.

They make you weak, so you must lean on them.
They pretend to want you to succeed, but only if and so far as you continue to need their support.
For when you stand tall on your own, you destroy their identity.
They build their lives around you, and cannot continue to be the heroic white knight without a damsel to save.

So they keep you subservient and weak, while pretending to build you up.
The ONLY person who can build you up, is YOU.
So take your time, work on yourself, build yourself up, and recognize them for the hindrances that they are.
You cannot stand tall while kneeling.

It will take time. It will take a lot of work. You have been fed weakness and fear. You've been trained to believe that you are too fragile to survive little words.
It's all a LIE. A lie designed to keep you in their control, so that their identity can survive.

So work on yourself. Learn to handle more. Learn to be stronger. Learn to be confident and fearless in WHO YOU ARE.
You can be a giant, and when you stand, they will fall away, and you will finally realize, not only do you no longer need them... you never did.
