If anyone was curious about the outcome of https://tranistan.com/post/tranistan.com/53373

It was futile

They never understand

The reply I got back included the line “I think people use identity as a way to dismiss or play down both their own individuality and the value of outside perspectives as a way of essentially promoting solipsism”

My followup opened with “There is a tendency for cis people to talk to trannies like they’re too fucking stupid to understand how to handle their marginalization and that what they really need to hear is the wisdom of people who are unburdened, their clear perspective without the hobby of an identity taking over their life being offered as a beacon to lead me to a place where you will no longer feel bad about me when you see the latest terrible news about trans people.”

It ended with “Don’t call.”

And that settles it. My final significant non-family relationship from pre-transition is dead, I am free 🥳🥳🥳🥳
