hmsindecision:weary4u:witchhuntsurvivor:pingersnotpiv:I swear this has to be one of the most disgusting discourses on this fucking website. To claim that detransitioners took hrt becuase we are just that level of dedicated to our evil TERF ways. That I did this to myself becuase I wanted political points. To deny my pain now and my pain then so they can just fucking paint us as inhuman monsters. To say that I’m not real. To say that we aren’t real. I feel physically sick.Holy fucking shit. I don’t want to reblog The Discourse because its pointless but this is… really hurtful. I want people to have the most basic sense of empathy for others, even if they don’t share the same experiences or narrative… Our existence doesn’t invalidate anyone, our existence isn’t a political statement to get under your nerves or to be used as a political football or a gotcha. We are real people who have real lives and experiences and don’t exist for you to use as ammo. “There’s no reason to lend any legitimacy…” to our own fucking lived experiences, huh?there were literally people saying and/or implying i fundraised for and then got top surgery as some kind of terf conspiracy too. like no, actually, i pursued those permanent medical treatments bc i thought they would help my dysphoria. and they DID help my body dysphoria, but i was still left with all the unresolved issues i started with, issues i couldn’t start unpacking until i stopped pretending my femaleness hadn’t colored every second of my life in a misogynistic world, and the more i started dealing with them, the more i realized transition, for me, was all about running away and trying to be somebody i thought had a better chance at a decent life. the more i learned, the less i cared about men, the less i hated lesbians, and the less i hated myself. i believe in this stuff because it actually helped me in ways transition and trans community never didi didn’t want to believe i was wrong any more than anyone else does, i just got overwhelmed by the cognitive dissonance and needed language to describe my experiences and a community where i could relate to others with similar experiences. it’s exhausting convincing yourself that your reality actually is the made up shit men told you it was, and women often enforced out of confusion and fear. when i finally let myself listen to women speaking for themselves, for their own reasons, trying to reach other women with no concern for male audiences, i realized they did have something to say, even if it was hard for me to hearThis is such a nasty attack on all of you, who are trying your best to find your way to yourselves in a misogynistic world. Sending good vibes to all of you. -- source link
