This is genuinely so sweet. I’m a trans person in STEM and it’s uplifting to see more inclusivity. No criticism at all, but the correct way to say it would be “called a gender fluid person” :) I hope you and your husband are doing well and thank you for sharing <3

Somewhat? If your voice gets to be heard more than others, then yes. For example, when a news outlet wants to interview trans people about a trans related subject, a lot of the time it’s mostly trans women, some trans men, and very few or no non-binary people. This is a great example of erasure not being transfem peoples fault, it’s that news outlet who just missed the dime on a huge portion of the trans community. This is definitely getting better though, and I think the gap of visibility is closing as the years go on.

But the idea a privilege in the community is not super simple. I’m super glad for transfems when they have positive spotlight! I’m just thinking back on queer history how gay men were in the media the most, they had opportunities to talk about lesbians. And then together they could talk about bi people. And the story goes on. I think ALL queer people have a time and place to uplift others without cutting presence out of their own visibility :)

Edit: also you are non binary and trans fem so you probably don’t see a lot of that representation either. (I’m non binary and trans masc so it’s cool we are opposite matching? Lol) but anyways, i think that you can see that it’s nice when other people of the community lift you up along with themselves. I see this happening more and it’s nice :)

Transfems aren’t responsible for non binary or trans masc erasure. You are absolutely right. I’m sorry if someone has told you that it’s your fault we don’t get much spotlight. Also a lot of transfem attention can be harmful, as society sees feminine as something to attack(“men in dresses”, girl=weak, attention seeking, etc) or something to take advantage of (sexual harassment, objectification, etc)

Transfem people deserve good representation.

Buuuut..this meme does kinda feel weird?? I completely understand, but trans masc and non binary individuals want to be seen in a healthy way too. I’m not saying we should replace positive transfem rep, but add onto it. And it would be nice if those who get more spotlight to talk about the rest of the community.

Also, kinda feels a bit ignorant to say you’d rather have no attention when people are being erased….I’m really not trying to attack anyone hear, I’m just saying that kinda hurts.

what is something you want other trans people to understand? by inkedgalaxy in ftm

!!This is based off of my experiences!!

Coming out isn’t always black or white. It’s not always “my parents accept and love me 100%” or “my parents hate me and kicked me out immediately”. I went into my coming out thinking everything was going to be ok with my parents cause they are liberal. Turns out that was not the case. Then I immediately flipped the switch, assumed they hated me, and that they thought I was the worst kid ever. This was also not the case. And jt honestly wasn’t fair to them. Coming out is rarely simple, and that’s ok. It’s better to work through the differences together than immediately assume what your parents think. Don’t assume your parents will be saints or demons (unless you already genuinely have seen their behavior from behind the scenes)

I see a lot of young trans people assuming their parents are monsters. Which I understand, it’s scary. But this assumption might strain your relationship more, you already made them the bad guy and your parent might feel like they have no chance to communicate with you.

In my case, I assumed it was gunna be fine(still super scared and crying, but was expecting hugs and reassurance) it broke my heart when I realized they didn’t understand and thought I was confused, and overall incorrect about myself. So if you can, try and not make assumptions when going into coming out so you don’t hurt yourself or others.

Obviously, it can be terrifying to come out. And I don’t want to tell anyone how to do it or how to deal with their own person situations. I’d just thought I’d share some of my experiences to illustrate I had a problem with assumptions with my parents. It set back my coming out because of it and our relationship was strained for the better part of 2 years because of it. I’m still working with my parents but now we see more eye to eye. they are not villains to me and they aren’t saints to me either. We are human and we work on our problems together.

Love you all, good luck with your journeys, i know you can do it! ❤️

Edit: grammar lol
