To me it didn’t come across like that at all. I fully understood what you wanted to say, which is why I told you my little story.
And I will not let myself and other trans women be defined by that, which is what I take issue with here…
It doesn’t define me either. I’m just sick right now and wanted to do a little silly posting, like I always do. Humour makes my life a lot more bearable and EatMoreMacroplastics’ comment did make me laugh quite a bit. That doesn’t mean that I let this stereotype define me, it just means that I find it funny, especially since it’s true to a degree
As if trans people are responsible for harmful stereotypes and not transphobes. That’s what i mean when i say that you sound like an assimilationist loser, you’re playing the respectability politics game way too hard.

silly posting is fine and fun, I just hate that generalization :|
especially since it feeds into harmful stereotypes
