so before writing lemon boys i did expect to get some transphobia, maybe attacks, not really sure but i prepared for it

what i didn't prepare for was...transphobia blurred under the guise of "just wanting to understand"

let me explain:

so ofc i do think that some people out there, maybe esl or honestly confused/concerned about what they are about to read, do NOT ask this with malicious intentions.

but some people do, and the voices piling up you start to see a bigger problem.

"was keith born a girl" "was keith biologically a girl" "what is keith really? a girl?" "is keith a boy or a girl" "is he afab or amab?" "bor or girl?" "is keith a boy?? i don't understand" "i can't read this unless i know if keith is a boy or a girl" "is he a girl?"

and its the problem of "but what is he REALLY" okay so he's trans, he's a boy, but *what is inside his underwear*

and its like, 1. he's in high school. 2. he's a boy there's nothing else you need to know. 3. the fact that people CAN'T until they know exactly what genitals he has

and its in every post, every update, every picture, every thread. and honestly its tiring.

this is NOT what i prepared for, i prepared for "this is disgusting" or something equally as obvious

not "but what's in his pants" x3000

and you have to realize, that we, the trans team need to answer this EVERY TIME. that we are not cis and need to read this over and over and get reminded that we ourselves can't just say "i'm nb" without someone going "okay but are you a girl or boy nb"

"trans men are men" if you need to ask "but what did he start out as" you don't believe it.
