🌈 Tilly Bridges ✨

whether a trans person wants to pass or not is their choice, we don’t owe anyone a cis-normative appearance

ok thanks good talk 🥳

@tillybridges I just wish my safety didn't depend on passing.

@tillybridges

Emphasis on the "anyone" part! I've had more critical passing crap come at me from other trans women more than I have from anyone cis!

@Stormgren we are still human, and many of us succumb to the same flaws as cis people. internalized transphobia is no joke.

@tillybridges Oh, I'm aware. It's just been happening to me a *lot* lately, and I'm kinda done with it. 😀

@Stormgren I don’t blame you! sorry you have to go through that.

@tillybridges Much appreciated, though I feel more sorry for them that they have to carry that much internalized BS around.

@tillybridges
Conformity Police? I've been on the run from them all my life thanx to my undiagnosed Autism & my unapologetic nudism. Be who you want.

@tillybridges I don't see this flutterby hiding their wings... why should you?!

@tillybridges sadly whether they want and can is an entirely different matter :(

@tillybridges if I wanted to deal with that much cis bullshit I would have just continued pretending to be a man
