Nya everyone knows that transgender people are all bad and yucky so we should make it hard to be transgender so that young people will see how hard it is to be transgender and decide that it’s not worth going through all that pain and humiliation and abuse for something as silly as “living in the body you feel most comfortable in” or whatever they say :3
when the news kept speculating that Lady Gaga was a trans woman and questioning her genitalia, and I saw her neither confirm nor deny their suspicions, honestly I was 11 years old & just enamored with that attitude. what was once such a common insult or concern that needed to be quelled was now just another frivolous attempt at making this woman feel small while she grows to be larger than life. funny how their hateful comments about her were what informed me about trans women existing as a kid
Children think about ‘shit like that’ all the time. What you mean to say is ‘Children don’t usually think about being trans’. Most boys think about the fact that they’re boys, and most girls think about the fact that they’re girls. When boys get told to wear blue and wear shorts and roughhouse each other. And girls get told to play with dolls and wear pink and have long hair. It’s at that exact same age when trans people realize there’s something different.
they will worry about “that stuff” because gender roles are forced into kids the second they’re born. i would rather my kid be able to look me in the eye and have the words to explain how they feel than have them kill themselves at 16 because of ignorant fucks saying they’re wrong or unnatural.
