there is NO safe way to be trans. we have to build our own safety.
but there is no safe way to BE trans, when even afab nonbinary people who don't medically transition get fucking murdered. the very group of people i've seen a lot of trans people claim have it easier, are safer, aren't really oppressed, for reasons none other than transmedicalism, exorsexism and misogyny.
i never want to hear about "afab privilege again. i never want to hear about how nonbinary people are safer because we're "basically cis". i never want to hear about how trans people who only socially transition aren't targeted for their transness again. i never want to hear the term "theyfab" again. i never want to hear about how "nothing happens" to afab nonbinary people who don't medically transition again. i never want to hear about how we're the biggest oppressors of "real trans people" ever again. i never want to hear about how the experiences of medically transitioning non medically transitioning trans people are so fundamentally different from each other that we're closer to cis than trans. i never want to hear about how us being the nonbinary stereotype somehow means we're not in danger.
i never want to hear any of this shit about how we're "the safest" again because that rhetoric emboldens people to be violent towards us, knowing we won't be believed. i never want to hear about our "privilege" again when they all see us as transes who should be fucking dead.
i don't want to hear it ever again. there is no safe way to be trans.
