A thread about the transphobia I’ve faced from GCs.

That time I tweeted about crying in the shower over having to shave places that made me dysphoric, and dozens of GC women comforted me and assured me many women have to go through that too. Solidarity, not hate.

That time I lamented the fact that I will always be dysphoric about my height, and dozens of GC women shared their stories of feeling out of place because they were “too tall” and were bullied for it too. Solidarity, not hate.

That time I shared my opinion that my dysphoria stemmed from being bullied for being GNC and dozens of GC women and men shared their stories of navigating a society that says there’s only one right way to be a man or woman. Solidarity, not hate.

The many times I have shamefully requested financial aid and GC women and men selflessly gave out of their own pockets that my family and I might eat that night. Support, not hate.

The truth is I have willingly exposed myself to thousands of GC women and men, and not once have I ever been on the receiving end of transphobia nor have I witnessed any directed at anyone else.

GC men and women are my dear friends, and I’m tired of people lying about them.

Conversely when it comes to TRAs, I have been called a quisling, a bootlicker, AGP, told that I deserve my suffering, that I deserve to be in the financial situation I am, that I’m not actually trans... even that I should take my own life.

Who are the real transphobes?
