    So, even if I don’t like it, I have to accept being called that? My preferences don’t matter?

      I know this may be a difficult concept for you, but here’s what you do:

      Someone calls you cisgendered.

      You say, “I don’t like being called cisgendered, call me _____.”

      That person agrees and calls you ______.

      -and that is all most trans people are asking of you too.

        speak for yourself. not my experience of many trans folk at all. many of them are actively hostile. and some of them are just straight up fucking mean people. and i’ve also seen trans folks who were chill… become radicalized and whom i used to hang out with and liked… and then all the sudden i’m the ‘enemy’.

        it’s almost like trans folks are people and subject to the same errors in thinking and hateful nonsense as anyone else.
