    Trans women who actually got to transition before puberty are our strongest optics soldiers. God I wish I was an optics soldier

      I kinda think that while passoids might be optics soldiers because they can work as examples of “good” trans people to cissoids, and the existence of even one “good” trans person can be deradicalizing for a cissoid. But I’m kinda afraid of this setting up a trap where cissoids will just compartmentalize the passing and attractive trans people as being the normal and good ones, and the less passing and more disenfranchised trans people as being the bad ones. Cissoids won’t have to stop being transphobic if a tranny “deserves it”, and they get to feel like they’re not transphobic because they know one or two trannies they don’t hate. Maybe that’s just a stage you have to go through while trying to improve trans people’s standing, but we should probably start thinking beyond it as well because I find it hard to accept such a small improvements considering how bad things are for trans people right now.

        Comment maybe worded badly but yeah. Sux that our worth is based off attractiveness and not the fact we’re human. I love being a living porn category to some people

    The worst thing isn’t even how pretty she is or how good her outfit is, it’s her smile. She seems genuinely happy. I don’t think that I ever was this happy, nor will I ever be.
