Flat out, the claims of innocence are not going to work on or with me. 

I don’t like the term “truscum”.  That isn’t even a thing that should be used, as far as I am concerned, but since anti-trans trans people makes you think I am not talking about you, I am sorta stuck here.

You do not get to decide who is and who isn’t trans for other people.

You do not get to decide what pronouns are  ”good” and “bad” for other people.

Dysphoria comes from being trans.  That is fact. It is not what defines a trans person. Transness is what defines a trans person, and they may or may not have dysphoria, and they may or may not recognize it, and it may or may not be constant or even solved by the standard stuff.

Being trans is not a medical condition.  It is medicalized, no doubt, but it is not a medical condition. It is a part of natural human diversity.

Not all trans people need hormones and/or surgery — some are perfectly fine without either.  Just living their lives with the expression they enjoy is enough.

Some trans people don’t even have to do that.

SO when I hear you folks talk about saving lives, and I know all of the above — all of which is stuff from the Standards of Care, I will note, the “bible” of treatment — I know that you are fooling yourselves.

You are allowed to fool yourselves, but you are not allowed to cause harm to trans people just because they don’t meet your definition of what is right and proper.

Now, the worst part about this is that all of that is secondary to what really pisses me off about your group.

The first thing is that you partner up with people who seek your genocide,.  Terfs are not friends of trans people. The ideology they espouse is one of genocide, and the goal is to deny you that medical care you place such importance on.

THe next one ya’ll have a really hard time with grasping, and that’s your problem, not mine. But it is incredibly harmful for reasons that are ultimately buried in the above.

That one is your respectability politics bullshit and the attendant assimilationist ideas. I realize most of you don’t know our history, and it is a bit unfair of me to condemn you for not knowing it, but you are able to be truscum openly on tumblr because of people who said that after 65 years of assimilationist, respectability politics bullshit like what you preach, they were fed up and weren’t going to take it anymore.

That is what started Pride, btw,  All the people your kind of bullshit ignores and marginalizes and throws to the wolves. They got fed up and rioted, and then the assimilationist douches came in and took it over and in right around three years they took it all over and that’s why you don’t know that.

So that’s why you are included.

Drop those things, and there isn’t an issue.

The problem is that you also aren’t truscum, anymore, are you?
