who "pretends" to be trans though?

honestly if somebody using weird pronouns or whatever makes certain people genuinely not want to support transgenderism or not take it seriously then the issue is with those certain people. call it bizarre or annoying or a phase - stuff like that is a nonissue. kids doing shit like this didnt cause my coworker to go on a rant about god giving me the right body and me needing to accept it. transphobia isnt ever caused by "fake trans people." people who get that worked up over it were already transphobic to begin with, dont let them fool you into blaming trans people for their own hate.

The kids on tumblr who say shit like "I'm a female presenting female bodied person without dysphoria, but I'm totally non-binary/trans/whatever" and belittle actual trans people for their very real issues.

And I never said they cause transphobia. But a group is always judged by its loudest and most obnoxious members. That's not nice, and that's not good, but it still happens. A lot of people can distinguish between "asshole because asshole" and "asshole because member of a group of assholes" but a lot of people can't or won't.

quick, relevant question: are you trans? you dont have to answer, but im hoping you arent trying to speak on behalf of trans people when something like this only affects you insofar that you may take trans issues irrationally less seriously bc of some tumblr kid.

disclaimer, i have dysphoria, but youre trans if you dont feel that you are the gender you were assigned at birth. it doesnt have to tear you up inside or ruin your life. dysphoria being a necessity is a myth perpetuated by truscum and people who arent trans.

i wouldnt put such a burden on some kid on tumblr who may be trans or may not be based on your own definition of transgenderism. if people see them and decide they cant take trans issues seriously, then we need to educate those people, because the problem lies within them, not some tumblr kid who most certainly isnt fueling the murder of transgender prostitutes, nor causing the media's collective lack of accurate representation, nor the denial of trans health care due to service providers' bias and institutional phobia.

if you dont understand what it means to be trans, then your idea of transgenderism is probably something as follows: someone "born a man" or "born a woman" who "doesnt like being a man/woman" and wants to change and hates their bodies every single day, lives a miserable unproductive life bc theyre too preoccupied hating themselves, must undergo surgery or clearly didnt feel all that trans. these are societal stereotypes that comprise the only transgender "exposure" a lot of people get, so it's easy to write off nonbinary individuals, male- or female-passing/presenting nonbinary folks, people whose gender identity is fluid, et cetera because youre only exposed to a certain image of transgenderism and anything else is special snowflakey. i mean i get your point, in that some identities, seem really bizarre or "made up," and i cant say i dont sometimes feel the same about certain identities (though i keep that to myself bc rude), but im not the gender police. nobody is. gender is strange and always has been, and there are more identities than just cis man/woman and trans man/woman. when faced with someone different, your first reaction shouldnt be to write them off as doing a disservice to "real trans people," because if you really think that then your idea of real trans people is incorrect. - and thats not the hypothetical tumblr kid's fault.
