@eunews or, maybe it's time to stop mentioning people's gender on ID documents. Like, completely eliminate it. There's no actual reason for it.

i too love when a thing that makes me feel euphoric and accomplished that i achieved it is considered "unnecessary" to some tumblrite lunatic that demands it to be erased because they are hurt by it

sorry bub, you will not be taking that sweet victory of mine.

sorry that you're too much of a coward who doesn't fight back but i'm built different and said legal gender is, to me, a proof of winning an important battle much like soldiers get medals

@m000gletje @eunews I'm not hurt by your achievement. I just don't understand what gender markers do on identity documents anyway - how do they contribute to their function. They just don't.

do awards need a purpose other than be an award for achieving something? does everything need to be super deep to you in order to be deemed useful? so just because you don't get it, that means no one should be allowed to have it?

that's a mentality of a fucking 5 year old who didn't get their favourite toy and now wants everyone to stop playing with their toys

@m000gletje @eunews To be honest, I never thought of my ID documents as some sort of award. More like, something I need to carry on me to show I'm authorised to drive or to travel between countries.

I do understand that you felt a sense of achievement when you won the right to have the institutional recognition of your true gender. I acknowledge my privilege in that I did not have to fight the same fight you did.

I also don't think that barrier should have been there in the first place. Are you going to resent a future in which nobody has to fight for their true gender to be institutionally recognised, just because they don't have to fight the same way you did?

"if i can't have it, no one will" mentality, again are some of you just stuck in that phase of development or something?

my problem is that this piece of shit community hates people who actually do try their best to transition and win against the government - hell we now start calling people on HRT and post-surgery "transmeds", as if the very core tenet of transness that is physical transition is now Evil

it feels almost targetted to erase people who do actually transition in favor of those who chose not to, and consider them superior and "more inclusive". and i'm not taking that bullshit, i've been erased as a trans man several times by supposedly "my allies and comrades", i will not let them now erase me as a trans person who actually puts in effort to transition, including picking hard battles; because that desire of mine is stronger than bureaucracy

@m000gletje @eunews I'm done explaining how I see it, I don't think we will agree on that point.

I'm glad you got the institutional recognition you deserve and I'm sorry you had to fight for it.

i'm sorry you need trans people who fought for it and are proud of it to give up that achievement so you can feel better about yourself

@m000gletje @eunews @pq1r Jesus, what did you jump down this guy's throat for? He isn't exactly acting like a Transphobe? What's the need to pick a fight with someone who isn't looking for one?

i'm not taking bullshit from anyone who wants to take away what i fought for

including trans people themselves, you're not my comrades!!! fucking look how your kind treats fellow trans men or people who actually get to medically transition, just because we share a struggle doesn't make me your friend

@m000gletje @ProphetsCross @eunews @pq1r if you think having your gender marker changed on your ID is a good thing, look at what is happening in the US. people with gender markers changed are having their IDs revoked, removing their access to voting, driving, and travelling outside the country. What it essentially amounts to is the government having a list of all trans people is a bad thing.

i have no sympathy for an american nor their main character syndrome

just repaying the favors though

@m000gletje @ProphetsCross @eunews @pq1r if you think transphobia will never come to your country i got news for you lol.

bad to the bone

i lived in a heavily transphobic country, i don't need a yankee with a superiority complex to lecture me on being forced into a gender i am not by the state and family alike

@m000gletje @ProphetsCross @eunews @pq1r funny that you think im a yankee. but good luck when your passport is revoked for being trans i guess

why should i care about you if you don't acknowledge what i have went through to get what i want, while people that are supposedly my "comrades in arms" want to now take that away from me because of their inability to act upon their fate?

just because the genderfuck crowd took over most of the voices doesn't mean you get to disregard the lived experiences of people who put their lives on the scale to have their fucking gender acknowledged

and if that gets me considered toxic, then so be it - consider the feeling mutual

@m000gletje @ProphetsCross @eunews @pq1r i am a trans woman who has my gender marker changed. i think its stupid that the government needs to know what kind of junk i have. i prefer having my gender acknowledged by my friends family and peers. but go off then

and i feel happy for winning against 2 governments for that to happen. am i not allowed to celebrate that marker because you and your peers don't?

what next, call me a supremacist for it? so be it then, wouldn't be the first time people get mad over a trans man defending his right to exist

@m000gletje @ProphetsCross @eunews @pq1r you're goofy as hell

goofy are the queers who are none the different from the "estabilishment" and both want to eradicate my identity in the name of their equally nonsensical ideal of a world
