Dear Cis People

Read the rules before submitting please!

'Dear Cis People' is a place for trans people to send an anonymous message to the cis population as a whole. It is meant to be a means of opening a communication line from people who are often silenced, either inadvertently or otherwise. Submit whatever you want, but while honest anger will come through, a small amount of discretion for certain things has been given to the admin. Control has been handed over to Amy, an LGBT activist and trans woman. All messages are anonymous.

Rules:

I can only do so much. I am my own editor. Posts go up when they go up, I will try to update several times a day.

If I screw something up, if something goes up that violates these rules, or if these rules need to be edited, send me a message. I'll try and be as accommodating as I can without invalidating other's anger.

I can appreciate that there are a lot of questions about where you fit, what the trans community thinks is appropriate, etc. Please ask your questions at the Ask a Trans Woman, or at Ask a Trans Guy blogs. This is a space for venting. Thanks for understanding! (I'll still answer if you write me here but try to write on AATW please!)

I will not censor any content. This is a place to vent. This has restrictions, however: racism will not get posted. Apologizing for anger and invalidating others will not be posted. Throwing your brothers, sisters, and other siblings under the bus will not be posted.

Names won't be posted. Every post will be anonymous.

The format of Dear Cis People is somewhat limited. To limit characters to what I can reasonably post without messing up the format too much, it is ask only, please do not spread messages across two asks.

I will not post death threats or threats of inflicting pain/torture.

I will not post rape threats.

This is about trans issues. If your post is about non-trans stuff I'm not going to post it.

Anonymous asked:

Can you please change the name of your blog to "dear transphobics" or something similar? Because I am cis and I am not transphobic and it is a little offensive because not all cis people do these things or are against transgenders. I believe that it is incorrect to say that in general, all cis people do these things that you post about and/or are transphobic. I am not trying to be rude, but i just wanted to bring this point up. Thanks for reading, and I hope you can see where I'm coming from.

No, see, if you say “dear transphobic people” then half the cis population won’t listen and the rest won’t care. No-one describes themselves as “transphobic.” Even if they did, they wouldn’t listen to trans people.

And, yes, I guarantee you that there are things on these pages that you have done. Some of them are things even allies do. So, no, I’m not changing the page to anything other than Dear Cis People.
