Fully agree! Consciously framing oneself as The Bad Guy in another person’s framing is still adopting their framing uncritically, rather than defining oneself positively based on what one actually is, not what one isn’t

if it requires other people be uncomfortable or antagonized for you to feel happy in your existence, something's broken. our existence as trans people regardless of what we present as or how we behave already gets used as an excuse for the hateful and ignorant to be antagonistic towards us

Agree. I don’t see any way that framing a desire to transition as a “disorder“ doesn’t lead to anything extremely bad (as it has in history and the present)

to put it another way: I'm a woman because I made myself one. I'm a feminist because I have half a brain.

And to be even more honest, I think "wanting to dismantle the gender hierarchy" would be a pretty strange reason to transition. On a purely tactical level that's not an effective way to do that. I transitioned to be happier, and AFAIK that's why most people do it! You don't need a better reason!

Like I don't think we have some kind of unique responsibility to be the shock troops against Gender. To be honest I think if that were true then it would be a political imperative for everyone to transition (and hey, if anyone wants to argue that: I'd respect the logical consistency at least)

if transition is a form of politics then it can be critiqued as a form of politics, and that's a frankly inane way to view the pursuit of one's own happiness. it isn't specifically trans people's job to dismantle gendered hierarchies. that's kinda everyone's job actually!

They should hire me for the new york times. I could totally go to random small towns and listen to people’s shitty opinions while eating terrible food in podunk diners in towns that globalization has correctly chosen to let rot
