It’s exactly the same with racism, homophobia, sexism, ableism, any other phobia or ism. Whatever.
We aren’t magically good people just because we have dysphoria. The cis aren’t magically evil just because they aren’t.
I’m convinced there’s a lot of trans people that, if whatever gene that triggers dysphoria in us was gone, would be transphobic as cis people.
Humans are tribalistic as a leftover from the time we were monkeys. There’s an instinct in our brains to hate and fear anyone who isn’t exactly like us.
However, it’s 2026. That instinct isn’t needed anymore, and anyone with even a hint of emotional intelligence can and has overcome it.
Empathy is the biggest difference between a good and bad person. If you can look at someone who is suffering and think “that’s not good”, then you have the building blocks of what it takes to be kind. That’s not all you need, but that’s the start of it.
I’ve seen cis people with empathy. I’ve seen trans people without it.
Good trans people aren’t good because they’re trans, they’re good because they’re kind. Transphobic or shitty cissoids (don’t get me wrong, there are a lot) aren’t shitty because they’re cis, they’re shitty because they choose to hurt others.
I sympathize with those terrible experiences. But it’s not about suffering alone. But understanding our unique suffering. They don’t want to, and don’t care to. Suffering is pointless. But they won’t empathize with us otherwise. It’s the only way a privileged group could ever really get it. They can’t empathize with us. And so, they will keep using systemic power to destroy us in every way they can.
