Idk how we could ever gently have this conversation but one day we are gonna talk about how people use their status as a trauma survivor to justify being a TERF and it's 😢. Idk how to get over this hump as a genderqueer trauma survivor who still identifies as a woman sometimes.
Like sometimes I feel like a woman and sometimes I feel like I have no gender so this keeps me open to lots of transphobic people who either think I'm cis or are hoping it's just my trauma/mental illness or some other horrible ableist and transphobic garbage.
My gender has always been this way & it's caused lots of issues like BDD but now I have the language to understand myself which decreases the dysphoria SIGNIFICANTLY. So like please know I will stand with a trans woman a million times over a TERF. Know that deeply in your soul.
The only reason I still feel like a woman sometimes is because I was forcefully conditioned to be. I don't know what my gender or expression would be like if this wasn't forced on me. So if you're waiting for me on the other side of that fence, pls know you'll be waiting forever.
