transphobia, transmeds
I don't often doomscroll through bigoted spaces any more, and when I do I think it's mostly just funny to see their unhinged takes, but I stumbled on a transmed forum today and that shit genuinely made me sad. It's infuriating that people who have 100% suffered from gender policing decides they're now going to start gender policing others. I hadn't really looked into transmed beliefs before and now I regret knowing these people exist.But also, I can't imagine these people are very happy. Like, they're treating this idea of "opposite sex neurology" as if it's an unquestionably true scientific fact and rely on it to feel valid (i saw someone asking if they could get a brainscan to prove they're trans lol), while the actual scientific reality is that we don't know what causes people to be trans. And why does it even matter? If you need to transition to live a fulfilled and happy life, isn't that reason enough? Why is your internal sense of self not enough to make you valid.
Also wanted to claw my eyes out when people were posting "teens shouldn't get gender affirming care" and "going through female puberty has ruined me forever" right next to each other.

I really hate seeing people wanting to stop trans teens from getting whatever support and care they can get. I'm surprised and disappointed there are trans people who don't support trans teens.Pretty disheartening. I like to believe going through hardship makes people more prone to solidarity, but I know there are people who are exceptions to that
::: spoiler imo Suffering doesnt make you better, help you heal, or make you more empathetic; suffering just means you suffer.
I know the cause of being trans, it's called being fuckin based
