Because we aligned with the queer it made people think that being trans is an aesthetic choice, like most queer identities (not saying there are no trudykes or trufags but most queers are just quirky straight people) whereas it’s generally understood that disabilities are stuff that you’re either born with or happens to you and there’s no choice involved

    idk at this point like we can’t go back so the only way is to make some new sort of movement and call ourselves some other thing

    Isn’t homosexuality a birth condition as well? I can also make the same argument that they are ‘‘disabled’’

      They don’t need medical attention to solve it, it’s just a thing, like being left handed

    Hard disagree

    Ah yes, people just choose to be gay for fun. we tend to forget that they are often marginalized groups as well… but oh well. Do you have any proof for this claim that most gay people are just gay for fun? that it’s their choice to be gay and that they can be straight anytime they want to? or is it 4t4 trutroonscience?

    I will answer the same I answered to Gigachadess.

    Trans people of 20th century were very much seen as a different type of homosexuals. There was no other choice, I bet.

    I’d say it’d fit more with intersex people, because their bodily autonomy was robbed for similar reasons (to pursuit this perceived “naturalness”)
