it’s so funny
and by “funny” I mean “fucked up and dismissive”
when people act like some people are trans as some kind of trend, or because they want to feel special (the “snowflake” thing) or different or (vomit) invested in some kind of victimhood or whatever
like fuck
You want to know when I DID walk around feeling sorry for myself? You want to know when I DID feel alienated and like something really was setting me apart from everyone? It was when I couldn’t figure out WHAT THE FUCK was going on, I didn’t have a name for it, I didn’t know how to exist, I didn’t see myself in the way I was “supposed” to, I didn’t understand why, I (thought I) didn’t know anyone like me. THAT was when I felt like a special isolated victim snowflake or whateverthefuck.
It wasn’t until after I figured out some gender shit that so much- in the past, in the present, my wishes, my inclinations, my outlook- started making sense. I felt, well, I don’t want to use the word “normal”, but like I could start to walk around and live and there wasn’t this nagging pit, this missing piece, this lack, this nameless thing. Finding out that my feelings/identity aren’t a big deal (except for cissexist fuckfaces, but that’s a different post) and that I’m NOT special was the best part.
So basically
STFU
