Cis people sit down and fucking listen challenge.
I am so god damn angry right now. I have been misgendered over and over again today and I am so dysphoric that I want to kill myself. That is not an exaggeration. I actually want to fucking die right now. And you know what? I got tired of being misgendered and tried to correct someone. Oh fucking man. That was the rudest thing in the world apparently.
So here’s the deal.
I don’t give a shit about your feelings, your comfort, how “hard” it is for you to remember my pronouns, what you believe or don’t believe about trans people. You are going to call me the right thing. And if you continue to call me the wrong thing, you’re a fucking cunt and I’m going to get mad. Trans people shouldn’t have to sit and be quiet and respectful and smile through everything while you put in ZERO effort to respect us even a LITTLE BIT. Trans people shouldn’t have to deal with being misgendered and made to feel extremely dysphoric out of fear of being seen as that “triggered special snowflake lolol” or that angry militant trans person. I am that angry militant trans person. Bc we are fucking PEOPLE and we deserve to be called the right thing JUST LIKE YOU. We are ALLOWED to get mad when you absolutely refuse to try and get it right. We are ALLOWED to get mad when you take advantage of our silence and fear and treat us like we’re lesser than you. You should fucking EXPECT anger, especially when you get corrected and act like we’re doing something wrong for speaking up. Call us the right thing or don’t call us anything at all. You do not get to choose what pronouns you use for us, and if you think you do, you better be fucking ready to deal with being called out.
