fiyhi:❖so… i made this post because, like a lot of us on the internet, i’ve run into a lot of transmeds/truscum. [i’m sure many of you have seen the infamous “damian and skye” comic featuring a very masculine trans guy contrasted with a young, feminine trans guy to “prove” the more feminine one isn’t trans]i wanted to talk about this becuase, as a trans person with dysphoria, i am ashamed of these groups. there is so much more information i could cover about this (and would be happy to in dms) but there are several points i want to get across as plain and simple as i can:►divide some of us, and it can only hurt all of us. if a cis person’s going to think there are any fake trans people, you are putting it in their hands to decide that for every one of us. stand up for all your trans siblings, not just a few. ►if you ever catch yourself thinking, “that trans person isn’t suffering enough”, stop. no matter how much you yourself are suffering. you lose literally nothing by just living and let live and you cannot police others identities. period.►popularizing the idea that you need to meet some intangible bar to be trans doesn’t just affect the people you’re trying to target. it affects all trans people, especially young teens and kids. identity is individual and personal and no one can decide it for you but yourself.in the end, this is as much a message to transmeds/truscum as it is to the general public. the message is this: dont let suffering make you bitter. dont let it make you into someone who wishes suffering onto others. find happiness in knowing others aren’t suffering, not resentment. and most importantly, take care of your community. your whole community. god knows we need to stick together.❖ -- source link
