It hurts knowing you're more privileged and have more opportunities than like 80% of the world with a lot better quality of life and still have life suck so much. Like I'm well aware that just by being born in a western country, that's already better off than like 80-90% of the world. And yet everything hurts physically and mentally and I just want to die every day.
It's not a life anymore. It's a struggle, everyday.
this 1000%. I've seen trans women upset that they aren't included in rape shelters and the like and their reasoning doesn't go much beyond parroting "trans women are women" and "muh inclusion". Are these people really too dense to understand the difference between a hair salon and a rape shelter? ffs.
I blame cis people for this, but I don't think that transfem people should be centered in conversations around 'Women's Issues'. The truth is that most queer people are misunderstanding what 'Women's Issues' actually are. They try to make it inclusive by claiming that transfems and transwomen are welcome, that if you identify as a woman then clearly 'Women's Issues' apply to you too.
And we can argue that transfems are in need of reproductive justice too, because of course they are. But when you claim that abortion is a 'Women's Issue', you're not helping transwomen and transfems, you're still being an exclusionist piece of shit.
I don't think transfeminine people should be centered in this discussion because these AREN'T issues that only women go through. Reproductive justice is important, but not when it excludes the transmen and transmascs who get raped, sold & married off, & forcibly detransitioned just so they can bare children. I don't care that you 'don't feel included' by white cis feminists when they talk about 'Women's Issues', because you're not the one being denied an abortion for having an M on your ID. Or being denied an abortion, period!
'Look at how uninclusive this event about Women's Rights is!' And what the fuck are YOU going to do about it when you get into this little club by climbing over the bodies of your trans brothers? Come the fuck on!
I'm so sick of 'Women's Issues'. I'm so sick of 'female' spaces' biggest issue being that they exclude transfems, & not that they're actively hostile towards transmascs who NEED these services.
Inclusion is important, but not when it means forming an exclusive little clique that leads to more death. This isn't your conversation to lead.
excuse me, but REAL MEN only chop and saw their own wood
Get yourself some IKEA furniture and assemble it!
Dear diary...
All of this feels so pointless...
I feel like I'm wasting my time here.
There's no point in me being here if all I ever do is suffer...
all my friends are going out and posting on their stories while I’m sleeping through days wishing on every one I won’t be here on the next
i knew i wasnt supposed to live past 18
death isnt enough. i need to never have existed
And people forget how recent it was that it became socially acceptable for women to be not traditionally feminine. I'd argue it has only been in the past 10 years or so(and that's stretching it majorly), it has become socially acceptable for women to be traditionally masculine, or for girls to act "boy-ish". It really wasn't that long ago
"No one cares if women / transmascs / afab people wear pants and boy clothes!!!"
On my knees begging you to talk to people who grew up in religious fundamentalist communities and high control groups / cults
Sorry not sorry but sometimes I really am done having to put up with mentally ill folks. Like the fuck do you mean you can make fun of my sexual assault and abuse I've faced and then go "whoopsie daisy, it's just my BPD making me do that, teehee" and then when I call them out, I'm the ableist one??? The fuck??
''trans men wont suffer as much if you forcefully out them'' could you say that to an actual trans mans face though or can you only say it online? could you say any of this hateful shit if you had to actually articulate it face to face with a real person or are you only comfortable when its wrapped up in comfy internet discourse buzzwords?
Trans man, 19 years old, on T and post top, stealth in day to day life. This is my blog to post about trans stuff, as well as other queer stuff sometimes.
