“i struggled until i came out at the late late super old age of 21”

can we as the trans community just collectively agree not to say shit like this anymore?

i feel like i need to be explicit about the problem here being an implied judgement of anyone who transitions older as even greater cowards than the speaker (who in this case was sarah mcbride who also added a lot of words about lacking the courage to come out sooner )

dig a little deeper about what we’re saying here.

if Sarah McBride had more courage, she says, she would have come out sooner

isn’t this just victim blaming at its absolute finest?

i know Sarah McBride catches a lot of shit but it’s not even her that’s the problem here. this is a very typical speech given by a lot of what i would consider very young transitioners

the goal should be to make it fine to transition at any age, and to build a world that will even accept freaks like me who transitioned at 40 and as a result am not fuckable or socially well adjusted

you know why i came out at 40? because by the time i was in my 20s and in a position to do anything about it i was already “too old”

that’s what this rhetoric does

they want to force us to transition older to stop us from being able to pass as well

they morally judge and shame those who do it older, because passing and being fuckable is our only possible value

because it’s not like we’re human beings or anything we’re just porn catagory novelty counterfeit women

the other day I saw the slogan “it’s never too late” applied to someone who transitioned at 18

for the love of ishtar get a grip.

@bri7 To tell trans people to "get a grip" because they acknowledge the issue (puberty already fucked them over) while supposedly having it better than you… no words.

How do you feel if I now tell you just "get a grip" and stop being bitter about other trans people dealing with their severe dysphoria using appropriate words that are lifting them up and acknowledge their pain? Because that's exactly what that *also* is you're ranting about.

I can see you're in pain, but this is not the way.

@Natanox @bri7 oh hi Natasha! how's your time at the transphobe bathroom hacker conference going? good? oh that's great. anyway if you're looking to criticize trans people for not supporting each other, then maybe you should look in the mirror first, mkay
