I’m a transgender woman and like most of our kind, I’m fucking horrified.
The Democrats are blaming us for 2024’s lossx
Trump signed an executive order criminalizing our existence
And I’ve had cis friends turn on me, telling me “People like you should have left children out of it, you’ve hurt your cause forever!!111!11”
I have no hope for the future, I feel truly and horrifically, cooked.
I just wanna know. Why did this happen? Why does everyone suddenly hate transpeople when Anti-Trans Policies were deeply unpopular as recently as 2023?
Why? Why? Why?
I just want to know, what did we do wrong? What changed? Why is this happening to us? When do the papers come saying they’ve “corrected my gender marker” or are they just going to drag me off to the camps instead?
I just… I’m trying to hold it together, and I fucking can’t.
You know what’s also funny, the gorillas were different sizes because of sexual dimorphism. Decades later I was at a lecture about animal morphology and the lecturer mentioned that, among primates, humans are actually fairly androgynous. I think about that a lot too.
For all the cruelty we inflict on one another about it, an orangutan probably couldn’t even tell you what the fuck we’re talking about because male humans don’t even have giant cheek flaps. Like the “angle measuring” bullshit that so-called “transvestigators” do would be absolutely hilarious to other primates because we invented this four hour long Voight-Kampff test since males aren’t literally three times the size, with a nose like a tomato.
