We're all mad here
Dylyn. 20. Flamingly Fabulous Trans* Dude. Pansexual. Polyamorous. Kinky. Tattooed. Pierced. Student. Musician. Actor. Writer. Activist. Aimless pursuer of random facts.
Tonight, I went to Kroger to get my mother some cranberry juice and some cool, soft foods that wouldn’t hurt her recent dental work. Because I’m injured, I was using a motorized cart. When I buzzed up to the check out, even though it was 11 pm, they opened another lane. It…

Melissa Harris-Perry describes herself as “cis” (via “MSNBC Talks To And About Trans People For An Hour, Doesn’t F*ck It Up” on autostraddle)

I am 100% done with the rhetoric of ” I’m pansexual/omnisexual/any thing but bisexual and my partners gender isn’t important to me because I am oh so enlightened”
And this is often said as some sort of statement of trans* solidarity.
Listen up…
This is why, when I explain it to people, I say that people’s gender isn’t a deciding factor in whether of not I like them.

PSA: Intersectionality is the default, not the exception.
It’s never just gender.
It’s never just race.
It’s never just sexuality.
It’s never just class.
It’s never just disability.
It’s never just one thing.
All that shit is always interacting at the same time.

Okay so heres something that I feel ppl never take into consideration when using this example- if the cup was full prior, and you poured out half of it, it is totally valid for it to be seen as half empty, and if prior the cup was empty, it would totally make sense that someone would view it as half full. So be aware that past experiences have an affect on how ppl view things and you telling them to “look on the bright side” is just another way of saying “conform to my mindset”.
You are wonderful.

when a trans* person gets upset because you have misgendered/degendered them, it isn’t because you “offended” them. You harmed them.
Being degendered happens to many trans* and genderqueer people ALL THE TIME. It’s a (micro)aggression we face constantly.
You didn’t offend them, you harmed them. You created an injury. There’s a big difference.

It’s outside of your zone, without exceptions.
Topics that relate to this include
- whether a given trans girl has ever experienced male privilege
- how many trans girls experience male privilege, if any
- where in transition a trans girl might experience male privilege, if…
