butchcommunist: getplume:You do not need to experience gender dysphoria in order to be trans! However, living within a gender binary system that denies and actively harms us for claiming our expansive identities can cause levels of psychological distress. It can be a feeling of distaste or disassociation from certain body parts, or it might cause you to dress in a particular way, to camouflage parts of your body you can’t stand or want others to see.We want you to know that you are loved and valid in all the ways you exist. Not all of us experience the negative aspects of gender, but all of us deserve to know what it’s like to feel “right” in our bodies. You deserve a space to explore and experiment with names, pronouns, expressions, and modifications on your journey to find your own sense of home.Read more about gender dysphoria & euphoria on our blog (getplume.co/blog)! It’s insane that blocking a blog doesn’t stop you from getting their posts on your dashboard, but it is so insane to me that not only is an HRT pill mill an allowed thing at all, but it’s allowed to advertised on a microblogging platform where a lot of young people have already functionally caught gender dysphoria or at least caught a previously nonexistent obsession with “their gender” and its goodness or badness and rightness or wrongness. That being said, it’s not like I expect tumblr to screen advertisers or even users of the site, and it’s not like I even necessarily want that to be the case for the platform itself. What’s extra shameful here is that said pill mill is literally making posts positing gender dysphoria as a RESPONSE to a cruel and stigmatizing and tiny set of acceptable ways to be men and women AT THE SAME TIME that they make money on people changing their bodies in response to said social problem. The concept that “not all of us experience the negative aspects of gender” alongside acknowledgment that personal failure to conform to sex stereotypes very commonly causes real psychological distress, and the presentation of lifelong medication intervention as the solution to this problem for, presented by people trying to sell you the medical intervention- that’s the really ming blowing thing here. -- source link
