It's really sad to say that you love being trans and instantly be introduced to a dozen people who have so completely accepted the negatives of oppression & being marginalised as normal that they're actually angry at you for being happy

It strikes me as a really immature mindset, and I don't say that to be insulting, because I really feel for those folks, but I want to say to them that I think they'll find the happiness there eventually. Also that maybe they should get off twitter a bit more... Yknow

Also interesting seeing someone jump straight from that projected anger to anti-nb bigotry & then more generalised queerphobia. Really speaks to what should be fairly obvious - that trans people who attack other trans people are dealing with absolutely debilitating self loathing

Look, I don't mean to be just accusing people online of living in their mums basementm, but none of my trans friends IRL, young or old, are like this. They don't think being trans is only negative and they don't waste time trying to mark out "the bad trans" from the community

Maybe I just have great friends (I do, ofc) but what it really seems like is that only very very online people who don't appreciate the way the world works and the way it hurts trans people think this way.

Franz Fanon said "The Martinican does not compare himself with the white man qua father, leader, God. Instead he compares himself with his fellow against the pattern of the white man"

When you see there is nothing wrong with being trans your mind and soul will be free.

They stole our history from us, they denied us the ability to live in our own bodies and love the people we love, and they told us we we inherently inferior for being us. The Matrix still has this person, but one day we'll get them out
