up thinking how the earth is gonna reach its breaking point with the next 20 years because of major corporations and they are doing this for money which literally has no intrinsic worth so they are gonna kill us all over paper with imaginary value
if you identify as cis but haven’t actually taken time to sit down and examine and analyze your gender identity, it’s probably time to do that otherwise you’ve just given in to society forcing a significant part of your identity upon you.
if someones comfortable with their gender identity to the point that its not even on their mind then theres no need for them to analyse it
as someone who basically identifies as cis i think it’s very much important to examine your gender identity. it might lead to small things: e.g. after i did that i stopped shaving because i realized that i wasn’t doing it for myself. further, i’ve stopped seeing my own face as a gendered thing and this makes it easier for me to be respectful of the identities of others, and easier to be happy with the meatsack i live in. i think that it’s very important for cis people to consider what aspects of gendered existence we hold sacred. peeing in a segregated space? if so, why? i mean this is exactly the kind of question trans communities have been trying to get us to deal with forever and i think that answering it on a cultural level will come with exactly the type of introspection that OP is asking for.
some of the best advice i’ve got in college so far is “make strange what is comfortable” and hey, after you take it apart, you can put it right back together again if that’s what makes you happy but it’s still important to evaluate why you perform your gender the way you do and what rituals are essential to that? why are they essential? are they worth perpetuating? the answer might not always be yes EVEN for people comfortable with the label of their gender assigned at birth
Okay, but like this helped me realize I hated my self so much and how I never felt comfortable with my body or why I would get huge amounts of discomfort or I would look at my self in the mirror and would see it as someone else. It made me see why I had that pain, the self hate a d such anguish. It took a long time of thinking and I lost two people extremely close to me, but it helped me realize that I’m trans and when I think the time is right I will come out and I can’t wait for that day. I went to pride with friends as who I was on the inside and everyone told me they never saw me this happy. They said I had a new aura about .e they never thought they’d see.
Popular cis blogger:*pals around with vicious transmisogynists*
Fence-sitting cis people: Hey umm I guess maybe we should ask, why are you friends with so many vicious transmisogynists? Like….why are you friends with people whose blogs are dedicated to how much they hate trans women?
Popular cis blogger: Lmao ugh it’s literally NOT A BIG DEAL lmao you people take things way too seriously ugh
Popular cis blogger’s transmisogynist friends: BIGTRANS IS TRYING TO SILENCE OUR BRAVE AND VERY RADICAL DISSENT AS ALWAYS. TRANSGENDERISM AND QUEER IDEOLOGY IS LITERALLY A CULT. Protect female-born-females from transactivists and violent queer ideology.
We hate troons. You people will pay for this one day.
Fence-sitting cis people: Hmmmm I guess we’ll never really know if they’re a transmisogynist or not?? There’s just no way to tell
If you’re wondering if someone is a transmisogynist, and they tell you that their friendships with vicious transmisogynists are No Big Deal, that’s your fucking answer. Stop waiting for them to add “I hate trans women” to their blog description. Take a fucking hint. Especially when trans women have been telling you how much they and other trans women distrust this person, for months and months (and have been repeatedly attacked by that person’s transmisogynist friends for doing so)
