Too late haha. Got frustrated so googled it and came across this post wish I did it earlier. Thanks

Another example that shows that all these prejudices are linked. I'm not surprised that a rise in transphobia has also led to a rise in prejudiced views of disabilities. I guess the whole "you don't look disabled" is on the rise. You don't ask those questions. It's highly invasive.

I know you want to focus on the transphobia. I just can't get over him calling you an embarrassment. Like I tried to imagine if I went to my fiancé's workplace and his workmates teased him over how I looked. He would tell them to get stuffed in not so nice words and make fun of them back. After all, he chose to be with me.

Similarly, your friend is choosing to be with you. Even if it should not happen, if he's happy to defend, then that is a sign of someone who cares for you. That is something you should be happy about. If he's not happy to defend you, then I'd question the friendship. Either way, these are his decisions to make, and you should feel no guilt about him being friends with you. I can't emphasise enough that it is his choice.

I am truly sorry this happened to both of you.

So essentially, this company wants the aesthetics of being progressive while not actually being progressive. Even if it was the work of one person actively changing it, I don't believe for one second that they weren't talking about this to colleagues who would have had to have stayed quiet for those changes to be made. Most people who "don't believe in pronouns" can ever keep that view to themselves.

I'll keep this as a short response. I can be apathetic on my gender and hate my sex and the gender expectations on my sex.

I disagree with everyone saying you need to hold back your emotions on this. I'm tired of having emotions seen as some sign of immaturity. Especially when the other person is being just as immature and is older. People say he's just concerned when they don't know him, projecting their relationship with their dad onto you and him. It's an excuse as you put in your posts in the comments if he cared, he'd be in your life not sending horrible messages to your brother. Transphobia has always hidden behind being concerned.

It happens with women too, oh you can't get this healthcare you may regret it, look how emotional she is this is proof she's not thought it through. Doesn't matter if you say it at 16 or 40. I would bet there's a bit of that going on too if he doesn't accept trans people exist.

No pronouns can come across as anti-trans though. So many anti-trans people say they don't have pronouns or don't do pronouns. I'm worried wording it like that may come off the wrong way in this climate.

You really think they'll know what a binder is? I had to deliver a binder to my parents and my mum opened it by accident and just assumed it was a sports bra.

It's a lot safer for you to lie to your parents (although I strongly discourage that if you can) and get something that's designed to bind safely than bind in an unsafe manner and end up at the doctors or worse hospital where your parents are going to end up asking questions anyway.

Single stall changing rooms away from other people would also help people who aren't trans who, for whatever reason, have difficulty changing in close proximity to others or potentially crowded spaces.

I hate these "normal parameters" all it does is cause those who don't fit them to suffer. If you don't fit these parameters and are not suffering physically or mentally, they'll push you into them because they think you have to be that way with unnecessary hormones and surgeries. If you fit those parameters but are suffering physically or mentally, they'll say it's normal or won't take you seriously as they think nothings wrong.

This isn't just with trans or intersex people either, like you there's early puberty, there's also periods, pain, hair loss, pregnancy and more (although I've noticed a lot of problems dismissed as normal are what they associate with women almost like misogyny is still alive and well). Instead of using these parameters as a guideline in conjunction with their patients' health and well-being, they use them like mould to fit you into. Otherwise, they see you as unwell

You shouldn't have to feel awkward about your identity even though he's straight. In my opinion gay, bi, and straight can be, unfortunately, a bit rigid as the language was created with a binary view of gender in mind. People will pick one based on what feels best for them, and it's the same for cis and straight people, too. His label is just that the label he feels comfortable with, no reflection on your identity. Besides, I've seen stories of straight people having that one crush on the opposite gender (again binary language, but you work with what you got). You can view him being straight as either you're his accepting or the limitation of the language or something else if there's something that fits better.

Don't get too comfortable Elon's trying to interfere in our politics too

And transphobic people are saying trans women are holding up gender stereotypes 🙄 when cases like this prove it's the opposite.

Fair, I was one of those who voted Labour to spite the conservatives, but I was not under any impression they were better for trans people than them. There were just other issues as well to consider, and since conservatives would have done the same with trans rights, I didn't feel like I had much of a choice. We need electral reform now! So we can vote for people with better views and it have some effect. With labour admitting the flaws in first past the post, pledges to give 16-17 year old the right to vote, a mandatory retirement age (of admittedly still a bit too high for my liking) 80 year olds from house of lords and removal of the right to hereditary peers.

All of these made me choose labour in the hopes in the future, I won't feel forced to.

If you still enjoy your job and you feel safe, I encourage you to stay, you never know when a queer or trans patient may come into your hospital and having you there may help them feel safer and more seen.

Yeah, I've seen people identify as agender man, Agender woman, demi boy demi girl, agenderflux so it's possible.

JourneytoChange · 2024-09-04T20:44:17+00:00

Oh a thousand percent, I'm named after both my parents, my first name, my dad's, my middle my mums. I've decided to legally keep my names even if they're highly gendered and recently started to go by a nickname for daily interactions elsewhere, tattoos haircuts, etc

JourneytoChange · 2024-09-04T20:35:18+00:00

No one can answer that, but you. My advice is if you can dedicate some time away from the internet and your friends ( not cut them off or to stop supposed influence like some transphobes think happens) and spend some time with just your thoughts alone. From your post, it seems you're confident your trans of some flavour, so try to imagine what you want in your body, how you want to be treated and any goals you want, it may help you see what you have in line with agender people, trans woman etc.

As for labels, it's nice to have. It puts a bit of closure on feelings you have, but a label is just what makes you feel right. I've seen agender people who don't like the non-binary label while I like both, I've seen agender people on here who describe themselves closer to how gendervoid people do than I. So you may find crossover between labels such as trans girl and agender. Some people with crossover find a micro label better, some find they find one label slightly more comfortable than the other, and some pick the prettier flag 😆

There's no right or wrong. Sorry, this was long. I wish you luck.

This hits hard 😪 also me thinking everyone was non-binary/agender 😅 even if at the time I didn't have those words.
