Absolutely, there are a lot of things I just won’t tell cis people about transness bc I don’t trust they know enough to treat that info responsibly

the entitlement it takes for cis people to expect trans people to engage in polite debate about whether our existence matters is honestly ridiculous.

It seems hard for people to understand that there are two topics at play in the conversation. Trans identity is not debatable. We exist.

Not just because of bad faith, but the general idea that existence is something that can or should be argued against.

Cis people forget that they aren't the only person who has a billion questions. We have to explain & justify ourselves to EVERYONE we meet. It's-

I believe that God made us all. I was born to the body intended. Some where not so lucky. So glad science can get you to you. Stay strong.

in order to have a conversation, you have to have ground rules. "people are entitled to self identification" is a valid, even necessary rule to demand

nobody is entitled to your time. this reminds me of people constantly asking black folks to explain racism. no we're tired, they can do some reading.

I'm actually done caring about explaining stuff/debating with cis people. I spent too much time not working on myself for cis losers online

is it really surprising to cis folks that we can, you know, TELL when someone's asking in bad faith?
