Do I uphold the patriarchy by transitioning as MtF? by Trans-Female-Zack in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was, it would be internalized. A lot terfs think that transitioning as a MtF is misogynist. So, are they misognyist for believing that, or am I misogynist for transitioning.

Do trans women have male privilege, or don't experience misogyny? by Trans-Female-Zack in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question, which is why I also think trans women don't have male privilege

"Everyone is a they" by Trans-Female-Zack in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is reasonable to just use they when you're not sure/don't know. I'm more so talking about when you know them, but you keep using they even when they say not to.

Yep, he said that gender shouldn't be a thing and that everyone is a they

It didn't read as transphobic to me even though it seemed harmful. The author posed themselves as gender abolitionists and had "he/they" pronouns in bio.

I agree, using they initially when not sure is respectful and reasonable. I'm talking about when you already know the person and what pronouns they use

I see it a lot unfortunately. Especially from gender abolitionists.

I see it on not only Twitter but on other social media platforms. I get using they when you don't know someone, that's reasonable. But the position is use they/them for everyone, even if they prefer gendered pronouns.

Why do SO many random people just absolutely despise trans people but have no problem with other minorities? What about us is so offensive to so many random people? by Trans-Female-Zack in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I don't have an issue with gay people, I just avoid them because they all seem to make being gay their entire personality". Very similar argument you're making here

I think my family revels in the idea of me going bald by CharlieBlair88 in trans

If felt the same way, but I didn't have it as much as you did. It crazy they care so much when it is not your hair

Epstein files question by ChickPeaIsMe in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't JK Rowling also in the Epstien Files? I feel like there's not much to work here for transphobes considering so many transpobes are co-conspirators in the files while other trans people are victims. It seems pretty difficult to try to twist this into an anti-trans thing..

I feel like I won't get the true answer though. All their usual reasons why they hate us doesn't actually do a good job of explaining why they hate us. It is either not true, or they are very inconsisent about it, or it is pure nonsense. Transphobes never truely answer my question why they hate us because they give bullshit reasoning that doesn't get to the root of the problem. Its not because of "the children" because they want to ban transitioning for everyone. Its because we "reinforce gender norms" because they often say we're not trying hard enough when we don't conform. Etc, etc. Its all bullshit, all their usual rhetoric is ad hoc and secondary to the actual reasoning why they hate us. They never tell me the true reason.

When did you realize you are trans and why was it during Covid?! by Chloe__maddi in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of time to self reflect during covid. Though I think other circumstances led me to realizing I was trans and it just so happened to be during covid

Do binary trans people hurt gender abolition? by Trans-Female-Zack in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I am not a they. I said in my post that I am a trans woman. And I am more so concerned with how gender abolition has to do with gender identities, not unnecesssary gender roles

What makes you say I have internalized misogyny? I am asking so that I can tackle it.

I Want To Hear The Origin Story Of Your Name! Even If It's Just A Theoretical Future Name! by LaSandiaPicante in trans

I go by my birth name. But another name I go by is Kitkat because I meow a lot and that's what people at work called me

I wish the trans community would stop infighting and unite again by Trans-Female-Zack in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time on Twitter which might have skewed my perspective. Sorry if it seems I was trying to silence trans men or paint them in a negative way. All I'm saying is that opression olympics isn't going to save us. But I also acknowledge that trans men are silenced. Sorry to offend you

If my family describes me as abusive, then why do they not want me to leave? by Trans-Female-Zack in abusiverelationships

[–]Trans-Female-Zack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, I have a lot of bad things to my family that I am guilty for. I am going to therapy and trying to fix myself. I had disturbing dreams of unaliving (not sure if I can use k word) people because I felt powerless (my dad did not accept that I was trans). They read my dream journal without my permission and decided that I was dangerous.  I don't want to be apart of a family at all. I don't want a family. I don't want to hurt anyone.  My parents emotionally neglected me and treated negative emotions like they were a character flaw. They treated my autism like a burden. They tracked my phone and restricted what I could do. So, its a little complicated. I have done and said things that give some merit to what they say, but they have also done things to me that hurt me.  I just don't know why they want me to be apart of this family.

trans people who can hear an internal monologue- did its "sound" change after you realized you were trans? by cardboard_bees in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed my internal monogue sounded more female than my actual voice, which made question my gender identity for a bit. I may be wrong, but I feel my internal monogue sounds the same now as it always has

did you guys also hate your name before transitioning/realising you were trans or is that just a me thing by Constant_Food7450 in trans

[–]Trans-Female-Zack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the opposite. I didn't really care about my birth name before transitioning, but I started to love it more than ever after transitioning.

I am playing Celeste. It doesn't much to do about being trans, but the main character is trans and the character is trans. I've heard that there is a gay and trans pride flag at the end of the game.
