Anyway thanks for listening to my Ted talk I just randomly remembered how lonely and alienating it is to be trans and felt like talking

I don't think cis people will ever experience how damaging and harmful it is to live your entire life as someone else and to be stripped naked from something as stupid and as crucial as a fucking name and a pronounce. Everytime a person brings that up it's just a reminder for us that our identity and life worth nothing for the majority of out peers and even our families. Like yeah, I'm upset because someone deadnamed me because it's a reminder that I can't have ONE THING for myself. It's a reminder that I'm stuck in this body and in this place and if I dared to open my mouth I'll be shot dead🤨I wish they'd fucking sit down and reflect on their actions for just one minute

It's as if cis people hold trans people to unbelievable standards so they can find something to justify their transphobia with. It's the same thing with women wanting trans men to be extremely nice just because society preserved them as women before transitioning. Trans people can fucking suck. But they're still trans.

Tw/ ranting, misgendering and deadnaming
I genuinely don't get why people treat names and pronounce as something you have to earn, they're basic rights and show basic human respect yet people are so weird about it. Everytime a trans person messes up they keep deadnaming and misgendering them..as if their pronounce are name are a luxury they earned for being a good person. Chris chan is a shitty person, but she's still a woman. Trans people can be shitty, they can be horrible even..but that doesn't mean anyone have the right to misgender and deadname them! It infuriates me because when people don't see what's wrong with this it gives us the message that our identity is only secure and respected as long as we maintained a good image. Every. Fucking. Time. A trans person messes up, people take it as a chance to attack the entire community. Trans people's name and pronounce aren't something they should earn for being a good person! It's fucking human decency!!! I've never seen anyone misgender a cis person in arguments. I've never seen people misgender CIS CRIMINALS? why is it only justified with trans people?

« “You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don’t get over it because ‘it’ is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to? »
