I think the hardest part of being trans is the uncertainty.
Like, there’s a new band I kind of like. They’ve only released a few songs, but I like those songs, and I like the bands style, so I followed them on Instagram to keep up with them. Neither member of the band is openly queer but many of their (young) fans talk about how their dynamic and their music fits with a popular gay ship. The band has really leaned into it and made content to appeal to that, so I feel confident in assuming they’re decently gay friendly, at least. But said popular ship is from Harry Potter, so I don’t feel at all confident that they’re trans friendly. They haven’t said or done anything specifically transphobic, but they haven’t specifically said anything in support of trans people either. So it creates that uncertainty. Am I safe in this fan space? Am I wanted? Will I be accepted?
Even in queer spaces, it’s the same story. I’ve been in queer spaces that claimed to be trans friendly. They have name tags and pronoun stickers and pins available to everyone, a trans flag on the wall. But most of the staff won’t try to use the correct pronouns. And trans men aren’t welcome in the queer men’s group they run. And when they invite a group to do free haircuts, they won’t cut trans men’s hair because they “don’t do women’s haircuts.”
It’s like, I can go to pride with a trans flag and five different he/him buttons pinned to my chest, and I’ll still get misgendered to my face.
Every time you want to be a part of something, you have to ask yourself
-do they accept trans people
-if so, is that acceptance limited and conditional
-do they accept trans people as a part of the group or do they allow trans people to be there but not a part of it, is it a “you can tag along but you’re not one of us” situation. A “trans people can join but gay trans men are not "real” gay men and trans lesbians are not “real” lesbians" situation.
Every fucking thing is uncertain.
The tweet has long been deleted, but years ago, Laura Jane Grace tweeted something to the effect of ‘do you think I don’t know that everyone I admire would hate me’. And that it. That’s the shape of it. You just have to live with the idea that there’s a good chance anyone you look up to, would hate you.
using tumblr mobile and seeing people talk about a desktop layout change is like hearing a timer suddenly start ticking down. I am safe for now but I hear the danger
FYI if your employer does this, if they have done it for a long time especially, you and your coworkers could be owed huge amounts of unpaid wages and it would be an easy suit if there is a paper trail like this and your employer is placing strict requirements on your behavior while not at work. Employment lawyers generally work on contingency. Just food for thought.
