There's something so insidious about trans people who's goal is to convert you to their particular brand of misery. I try to just do my own thing and ignore people like that, but occasionally I'm reminded of how depressing it can be.
Why would anyone spend all of their time trying to narrow down transition to the most trad definition possible? If it's really just what someone personally wants, fine, but it never really stops there. It's always weaponized against the community.
I have been picking up pieces for three years now. Sometimes they drop, sometimes I need to find them again. Feeling a heavy cloud of grief today. Hopefully it clears tomorrow.
Tbh it suddenly made the whole conversation make a lot more sense. I wondered why someone who's not even trans would feel entitled to be such an authority in an incredibly rude way, but this also checks out with experiences I've had with gay men talking over me as well.
Well fair enough then, but you're still incredibly rude lol.
I'd also like to point out that assuming someone must be a tttt poster probably doesn't feel good to that poster either!! Maybe don't jump to that next time
That's not how the disengage rule works. You don't get to get in your final words and say disengage.
Where do you get confidence to talk down to a trans person like this? Your high and mighty "I'm an ally btw" doesn't mean shit if this is how you interact with the trans community.
I like that there's no true point to any of this, that it all will wash away with time. It's kind of freeing tbh. What I'm doing right now won't be remembered long term. I can find my own value in living for a bit and support people around me. That's more than enough for me.
This just made me really sad. If this is indeed accurate he really did mess up his trans partner's life for a long time. How do you even begin to pick up the pieces from this when things finally settle? I thought I would feel nothing but joy, but turns out there is a way to make me wish this was undone. If you're gonna do something like this, then burn all your bridges and disappear for a while first. Don't drag a trans person down with you (even if this is what motivates you).
I know you mean well, but needles can be scary and sometimes people get to a point of needing a break to clear their head. Ideally no one skips a week, but I'm pretty sure she knows this isn't the ideal solution. The world will not end if she takes a week to collect herself.
