OKAY SO HERE IS MY BEEF WITH THE TERM CISGENDER
people that are AWARE of the term that know what it means that UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU SAY THEY'RE CIS are people outside of the general gender binaries, we say yes i have a vagina i am a girl yes i have a dick im a guy but the thing is
holy shit
hoolyyy shit
ilke CIS AND TRANS we are not opposites we're not OPPOSING FORCES
this is my ignorant experience with the transpeople that i know, saying how they prefer GOING STEALTH and just identifying as male or female
NOT TRANSWOMAN
NOT CISWOMAN
NOT TRANSMAN
NOT CISMAN
just men and womeN
i want us just to be people
I WANT YOU TO WALK DOWN THE STREET AND GO YES THATS A PERSON THATS A PERSON THATS A PERSON THATS A PERSON
not thats a transman thats a genderqueerdyke thats a polyamorus vegan witchdoctor not thats a slut not thats a douchebag
WE LABEL EACHOTHER CONSTANTLY
HOW IS CIS HELPFUL
i understand the whole fucking
OH GOD IM PRIVILEGED NOW YOU'RE PUTTING ME IN A CORNER NOOOOO HOW DARE I GET LABELS
becuase those people are assholes and will never accept anything you say about them EVER
and hey maybe this whooole post is me sitting on my privileged throne shouting my discomfort with being labeled
NO ONE
SHOULD BE LABELED BY OTHERS
EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK THEIR OWN LABEL
TRANSALLIES SHOULDNT BE TRANSALLIES THEY SHOULD BE ALLIES
WE SHOULD BE FRIENDS
WE'RE NOT
BUT HOLY SHIT THAT DOESNT MEAN WE HAVE TO MAKE NEW ENEMIES FOR EACHOTHER
like when people go on okcupid and fetlife and say IM INTERESTED IN ANYTHING BUT CISGENDERED MEN
why
why do you discount an entire group
I UNDERSTAND YOUR MISTRUST
i personally was called david in my highschool pe class and my PE teacher sent me to the guys locker room to shame me for not being areal girl
EVEN THOUGH I IDENTIFY AS FEMALE AND WAS BORN WITH A VAGINA
EVEN THOUGH I LIKE FUCKING PEOPLE IN THE BUTT WITH A STRAP ON AND WAS BORN WITH A VAGINA
EVEN THOUGH I CUT MY HAIR SHORT I STILL THINK IM A GIRL
and i understand cisgender, and i know its better than normal
its better than regular
its better than all those things
but THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTAND IT ARE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DONT FALL INTO LINE WITH GENDER/SEXUALITY NORMS
the people who you WANT TO LABEL AS CIS WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT MEANS BECAUSE THEY DONT CARE
they're fucking NPCS
dont try to educate them
they're idiots
grind them maliciously
they'll never understand because all they're here for is to make people that dont fit in feel wrong for being fucking BRILLIANT
DONT TRY TO WIN OVER FUCKING IDIOTS
THEY WILL ALWAYS BE IDIOTS
we're not trying to educate the masses we're trying to segregate yourselves from people who RELATE to you people whos EXPERIENCES ARENT IDENTICAL ARENT AS BAD (stop comparing miseries, we want to help eachother)
WE ARE FUCKING TOGETHER IN THIS
WHY ARE WE SO HUNG UP ON TELLING EACHOTHER APART
WHY ARE WE MAKING COOL KIDS HANG OUTS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THROWN OUT OF THOSE BULLSHIT HANG OUTS THAT DONT MATTER IN THE FIRST PLACE
guys i know my privilege i use my stupid born with a vagina accepted by society bullshit to HELP TO FUCKING STNAD UP FOR PEOPLE WHO DESERVE THE SAME RESPECT I GET
the violence you (and maybe i MAYBE LESS MAYBE MORE) face can only be deflected through solidarity
look at me im a snowflake dont pin me down and heres why
FUCK THAT
FUCK THAT
THATS NOT WHAT IM SAYING
WHAT IM SAYING IS LETS STAND UP TOGETHER AND PUNCH EVERYONE IN THE FUCKING FACE
FUCK OCCUPYING WALLSTREET
LETS OCCUPY THE GENDER BINARY
