there is almost a reluctance that plagues so many transgender spaces where they are practically incapable of referring to themselves as their proper sex. stop reducing yourself and other binary transsexuals to being fem/masc instead of full women/men. do not patronize us or yourselves by calling us girls/boys when we are adults. stop making our language palatable to those who don’t and will never see us as our transitioned sex. and for the love of god, have enough self respect to not deny yourself of your transitioned sex. this language is why we have people arguing against bigots going “yeahhh, i’m a transgender man/woman, i know i will never be a REAL male/female” what the actual fuck are you doing? must we file down every rough corner of our beings in order to suck up to idiots who were never going to listen to us in the first place? whenever you say this, you always have a rebuttal like “uhmmm it’s just words” as if FtM/MtF and AGAB terminology are not only outdated and unnecessary but irreparably tied to birth sex? why pander to the notion that sex is wholly immutable in nature, the key tenant of all transphobes? why do you lug around what you used to be like a weight tied to your ankle? do you want to be free or do you want to keep appeasing others until you keel over and die? you tell certain transgender people you’ve effectively changed your sex medically and physically and they look at you like you have three heads for fuck’s sake. oh my god bruh.
