Trans men are men, trans women are women, nonbinary people are as such nonbinary, xenogendered folks are however they identify, and so on and so forth.
If of these, any of these bothers you I suggest getting off this post, and finding online or willing real-life sources who might know more about these topics than you do. If you still feel confident that you’re right and I’m wrong, well just leave, and don’t be mean in my comments section on your way out.
Trans pride should be about uplifting each other it should not be about tearing others in our community down as I’ve learned the search for “validity” is not the smartest thing.
This is because whether you have dysphoria or not, whether you fit in the binary or not, whether you use masculine, feminine, genderneutral, or neo-pronouns, or all of the above whether you “pass” or not, whether you fit perfectly into stereotypes or labels or not, and wether you meet cis peoples standards of what a “perfect acceptable trans person” should be or not you if your say your trans with whatever other labels that come with you, you are trans enough. You are valid
Yes, I’m talking about all those that some of the community would exclude for whatever reasons they do either because they’re too weird, or they think they won’t be seen as acceptable if they accept, or even if they just don’t understand enough.
Because guess what to outsiders we’re all weird even the exclusionists within the community. Because even the “acceptable” ones are targets once they separate enough to extinguish the others they’re extinguished too. Lastly not to be a broken record but I didn’t understand geometry or why it was important but I still had to eventually deal with and accept it as a part of life eventually. Just like hopefully you’ll eventually come around to the “weird” part of the community.
Transgender pride-like transition (social, emotional, and/or physical) should be a space for trans joy not cis-gendered fear, sadness, or hatred.
It should mean we as in anyone who identifies as in trans we. It should mean at least trying to undersand each other not tearing each other down when it is convient. It means trans pride is for the trans community all of it.
