1. Dear Trans* People

    Dear Trans* People,

    Perhaps if y’all spent more time supporting CIS individuals instead of complaining about them and if CIS individuals spent more time supporting and encouraging Trans* individuals, that, as a whole, we as a species would be a lot better off.

    Sincerely,

    I am getting a little tired of reading all the griping posts. FROM BOTH SIDES.

    I just want to know why you put an asterisk after “Trans”. I’m not trying to be offensive, I just want some explanation without being told “You should know that” or “Die cis scum”.

    Being Cis is not a privilege, it’s nothing I should feel bad about. It’s not me who’s lifted up unfairly, it’s everyone else who’s downtrodden unfairly. I should be doing mine to make sure everyone’s on my level, but as much as you did not ask to be who you are, I did not ask to be who I am. I refuse to apologize for what I did not do. So please, stop trying to make me feel bad.

  4. Please don’t get offended if we want to ask questions. We’ve been indoctrinated from birth that boys have penises and girls have vaginas. Of course Cis people will be confused at first. Thats normal and it’s okay. Everyone has to learn. ” - Anonymous 

     
  5. DTP-

    The idea of a “fluid” gender system is a load of crap, and I’d imagine that anybody who preaches about it knows it themselves. Not only are gender and sex both words for the same thing (NOT seperate words with seperate definitions; I can crack open a dictionary and figure out that’s false within seconds), gender is predefined in the womb; males receive an extreme surge of testosterone in the womb, and females do not receive such a hormonal boost. If you’re someone who honestly thinks of yourself as male while possessing two X chromosomes, breasts, a vagina, fallopian tubes and a womb (and not just a teenage white girl on Tumblr trying to fit in with the “trans crowd”), then congratulations! You’re transgender, you have Gender Identity Disorder (or gender dysphoria; though I believe the terms are exchangable), you likely possess the brain chemistry of the opposite gender, and you should probably see a therapist to try and iron out your problems before you do anything radical like preach about transgender oppression on Tumblr or hack up your genitals into a crude fascimile of the tools of the opposite sex to try and fit your mental image. At its base, GID is a mental illness- not a life-threatening one, not one that would usually tamper with your day-to-day life, but due to being a radical deviation from the normal human thinking of “I am a male because I possess a wang”, a mental illness none-the-less.

    What I’m saying is, if you’re an actual transgender and not just some teenage girl on Tumblr saying you are to try and act cool, then:

    1) Seek therapeutic help. Talking it out with someone that has a knowledge of such disorders will help tremendously. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people on Tumblr will not.

    2) Do not attempt to justify your GID by preaching silly things such as the existence of a fluid gender system or the evils of the “gender binary”. It is classified as a disorder because around one-half of a percent of the total world population has it, and if you actually feel any form of stress or feel discomfort with yourself then you should refer to the previous line. I am not telling you to be ashamed of it, I am telling you to seek help before you do something stupid.

    QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.  So if you’re a lesbian transwoman and a regular lesbian doesn’t want to have sex with you, that’s transphobic?  Sure okay.  So what if a heterosexual, cisgendered woman wants to have sex with you?  Is that still offensive?  If she’s straight and willing to sleep with you, she’s treating you like a man.  Because of your penis.  She wants a good hard dicking and you have a dick and you want to touch vaginas and she has one.  Assume that all other conditions in this scenario are normal and positive.  She’s very pretty and has a nice personality and you’re already attracted to her and whatever.  Would you turn down sex because she’s putting a focus on your genitals, or would you just be happy to be having sex with a girl?

    Also why is this scenario always about lesbians anyways?  What about the transwomen who want to have sex with men, are they going to start a protest when they don’t get laid?  What about transmen and their sex lives?  I think some people just fetishize lesbians a little too much.  Y’know, to the point where you cry bigotry when a lesbian isn’t interested in you.

    please don’t forget that not all non-cis individuals conform to the traditional binary. As much as you don’t require my questioning, I don’t require yours. My identity is just as valid, and I am not “stealing” anything from you. So just let me be me, okay? XOXO

    There are some trans* that use the descriptive ‘cis’ as an insult.You can’t paint every cis person with the same brush. It becomes hypocritical and, frankly, kinda hurtful.

    Being true to who YOU are gives ME confidence to do the same.

  10. "I do not want to be rude, and I am sorry if my question is stupid, but I don’t know anyone to really ask. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable around men that dress like women. It’s not that I think they shouldn’t do that, I just get scared. Cause I’m afraid I’m going to do something to hurt them. Like, I don’t see it a lot. And it is really brave of them to be their selves. But I am scared of looking..or not looking.. or saying she.. or saying he.. or should I treat her the same way I treat my girlfriends (like I pretty much objectify hot men, is that presumptuous to assume she would like guys?) or do .. I don’t know. My question is for people that have trans* friends or ARE trans. I just don’t want to hurt people that already have enough bullshit to deal with :( " -Anonymous
