  • Sorry if you feel like I’m arguing in bad faith, and of course you don’t need to talk to me.

    My point is that being trans is inherently GNC, and excluding nonbinary people as statistically insignificant is really an argument against all trans people, whether they pass or not. I know you’re talking about what cis people think and not what YOU think, but my hope is that cis-passing trans folks that are accepted by “society” on condition of their passing will reject such conditional acceptance. In other words, non-passing GNC folks, such as enbies, need the support of passing trans allies against exclusionary, divisive gender-conforming norms.

    I’d like to pass, and maybe one day I will, and I hope I can continue to support less “acceptable” identities.


  • Your argument seems to be based on the assumption that cishets trying to preserve the gender binary are valid. I understand wanting to appeal to 99% of people, but binary trans people won’t gain freedom to transition by throwing non-binary people under the bus.

    I do agree that cis people should support trans people, but I disagree that it should be predicated on their bullshit beliefs. I don’t require them to eat shit, but I will allow it as long as they support the queer community unequivocally 🙂







  • I think the tone deaf thing here is you telling trans people, who are being actively targeted by an increasingly fascist goverment and conservative media, that it’s not bad enough yet for them to leave.

    Any person who wants to leave and has the means to leave should absolutely leave by whatever means, and your judgment of them is of no value.

    If you have a problem with worldwide asylum quotas, maybe take that up with a foreign government or something. People who are just trying to survive and make the best decisions they can in an increasingly high-stakes situation should disregard everything you’ve said and continue doing whatever they want, and you should support their ability to do so.

    It’s like saying that you can’t reason someone out of a belief or opinion that they didn’t reason themselves into. You can’t apply reason to subconscious processes and expect them to change in response. It’s been a valuable lesson for me to not try and quash my emotions with logic but to give them space to exist and process.
