You're Allowed To Love Being Trans If You:

Can anybody give these old-ass Democrats protest lessons? They're acting like they're still living in pre-2015 politics when the GOP gave a shit and wasn't deranged.

A member gets up and starts shouting: All get up and shout with him.

Don't walk out: MAKE them carry you all out, not shutting up the entire time. I'm serious, go limp, be dead weight.

Putin's Puppet says a provable lie: Everyone chant "LIE" in unison for a solid minute instead of holding pitiful little signs in front of a man who can't read above a 3rd grade level.

Have someone who knows ASL sitting with you, interpreting everything in full view.

If you're gonna hold signs, make them BIG like you're actually trying to do something. Have them in multiple languages.

Make other signs that say clever or cutting things that will make him rage for days. "DOESN'T OLD TRUMP LOOK TIRED?" or "PUPPET PRESIDENT" or "EVERYONE IS FACT-CHECKING THIS SPEECH TRUMP DIDN'T WRITE" or "THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES" or his current tanking approval rating next to a laughing emoji.

Make a stink every day in congress, throw as many bills as you can on the floor even if they go nowhere, look like you're trying.

Have someone, idk maybe someone you actually want to boost for President in 3 gd years, be your voice of opposition in the media, loudly complaining and telling the facts, every single day. Let the people know you're there!

How hard is this? There's probably better suggestions than mine if they actually hired seasoned protestors or behaviorists/psychologists or even the biggest teenage troll they can find on a messageboard.

The Emperor Has No Clothes. So fucking act like it.

If your argument is that transmascs had no place in trans culture in its beginning stages...

you should be WAY more concerned about what was happening to your transmasc siblings during those stages, than any kind of 'gotcha'

Y’know how trans women have identified a phenomenon where, even though they are women and may have known themselves to be women for quite a while, accepting cis women will treat them as though they are guests to womanhood, like lesser women, or like they’re new to it, or as though they could not possibly already know what it’s like being a woman?

Some trans people do that at trans men with transness. Trans men aren’t lesser trans or guests in transness who don’t understand what it’s like to be trans.

if you don't think that cis men who are aromantic are queer, get out. if you think that lesbians who are sometimes straight and gays who are sometimes straight are not valid, get out. if you don't support trans people who are sometimes cis, get out. if you don't support lesbians and gays who are genderfluid or multiple genders, get out. if you don't support xenogenders, get out. if you feel "uncomfortable" around disabled people, get out. if you don't support straight people who are sometimes gay, get out. if you don't support trans people who don't want to transition, get out. if you don't support feminine trans guys and masculine trans girls, get out. if you don't support gnc people, get out. if you don't support straight trans people, get out. if you don't support people who use neopronouns and xenopronouns, get out. if you don't support trans people who don't pass as their gender, get out.

Im pretty sure you are incapable of answering questions at this point

Why are you on my vent post

I'm a trans guy, I'm still a minor I live with my parents and my little sister I've tried explaining dysphoria to them in so many ways it's driving me insane I've tried explaining chest dysphoria as feeling like my breasts are tumors(cause that's what they feel like to me) I've tried explaining voice dysphoria as feeling like someone else's voice is coming out of my mouth, I've tried explain that when I look in the mirror it feels like the wrong person is looking back but it still just gets treated like an insecurity or like I'm being dramatic I'm not insecure I don't think I'm ugly I just think I look incorrect and I don't know how to explain it to them when I've tried in so many ways I might as well try learning another language to explain it in that one

I'm constantly misgendered I get deadnamed all the time and then get treated like the bad guy when I get frustrated or upset I've been openly trans for over a year most of the adults in my life do not know I'm trans cause my parents haven't told them and they completely ignore pronouns pins or the fact people are referring to me as a guy or in a gender neutral manner they act like they're being inconvenience by having to use the correct pronouns and name and gendered terms, like me doing things to feel more comfortable in my body is an annoyance to them, I get slightly side eyed when I talk about my dysphoria and wanting to go on testosterone or top surgery

hell they've tried making me promise I won't medically transition till I'm 21 which is bullshit because I've told them how I've literally fucking cried because of how badly I wish I was more masculine, told them how it feels like the person in the mirror is wrong, like my voice isn't my own, I've told them how much distress my dysphoria caused me and they don't give a fuck and then I get yelled at and punished and mocked when I get upset

I have been told to my face before by my mom that she wishes she wishes I was a cishet Christian girl who wasn't asexual and who wanted kids(I'm paraphrasing because my memory hates my guts and I can't remember the exact wording) while she knew I was openly trans and in a long term relationship with a woman I'm expected to sympathize with how hard changing how they talk is for them but they don't seem to give a shit that it's not just difficult for me it's distressing and damaging to my mental health

But they're not transphobic right?/s

But they're so supportive right?/s

God I can't fucking wait to move out

My dad can get so drunk that he literally can't walk and be forgiven the next day even though it could literally kill him even though he's supposed to stop drinking but I can't even take birth control that keeps me from having periods every month🙄

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
