  • My brother has been supportive of me being trans from day one. Like explicitly and openly supportive. His kid is trans and my brother is just not supportive of them at all. I don’t get it he actively fights them on it. I don’t get why he thinks it’s okay to support me but then tell his kid they’re not actually trans. There’s something that some parents have where they refuse to see their kids in a different light than they expected



  • Only if the infrastructure is there tbh. Every time I get on my bike I have to make peace that I might just die that day because I can’t hardly get out of my apartment before a car tries to hit me. And we even have bike lanes all over here they just aren’t set up well. Tons of people don’t want to do that even if the alternative is to sit in traffic for longer than it takes me to bike somewhere


  • I came out in between jobs but the level of respect and my assumed competence changed dramatically. My favorite was always me suggesting a solution, I get deer in headlights stares, a guy suggests the same thing and suddenly it’s all the rage. Thankfully this never really happens in my current job but the sexism is for real in a lot of ways I didn’t understand until transitioning



  • I agree completely, surgery is definitely not a requirement especially with how inaccessible it is for so many people. That logic doesn’t seem to fly for the sister in question though so maybe an appeal to ‘yeah but some trans people have earned it according to you’ could get a foot in the door



  • What are their thoughts on post op trans women? Because let me tell you, screaming pain in the hospital, pouring blood out my snatch (seriously it was so much), wearing pads every day, intense cramping from the catheter, abdominal pain for months, getting the stirrups and speculum treatment, I sure feel like I’d have ‘earned’ it by now
