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.
The meaning of freedom
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.
@Stormgren yyyyyyyyyep
@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 :(
Love, support and solidarity!
Been listening to and thinking about this a lot recently: https://youtu.be/TxTzChZEjfY
@tillybridges if I wanted to deal with that much cis bullshit I would have just continued pretending to be a man
