Can we talk about this
This is why gender compass type talk is bullcrap and hurtful. If you struggle living with a female body day to day, but have no issue with engaging with femininity and crap, you shouldn’t have to live with that struggle when transitioning would give you a significantly better quality of life. This is why “cis” cannot mean “conforms to stereotypes of one’s birth sex.”
we’ve done it kids the trans umbrella no longer contains people with sex dysphoria
What the actual fuck is this shit
This just in: trans people aren’t really trans. Any problems you have with the configuration of your body are your problem. Medical transition is only useful as a correction for gender non conforming people. What the actual fuck? This is the exact opposite of progress.
Every time I’ve read a post like this it’s the same thing: people twisting themselves into cognitive-semantic pretzels trying to “explain” or prescribe or justify some identity that must be claimed or denied. And the means always justify the ends: Trans=good! Often, the thread starts with some 13-year-old asking the Tumblr experts who and what to identify as.
I just don’t understand what happened in the last few decades. Poisoning of the water supply seems as likely an explanation as any.
I recommend reading all the added notes on the thread for full effect. There’s even one that says, with no sarcasm, “This is why I’m still confused about gender identities.” Ya think?

Since when did the Gender Squad decide they get to police someone’s sexual orientation and/or who someone is attracted to? WTF.
