You're Not Transphobic, You're Only Human

One unintended consequence of the outlawing gender affirming care debate is the rise of cisgender discomfort.

When I walk into room, the vibe is not what a stunningly beautiful creature this is.

Rather, trans alerts go off big time. I almost expect to heara deafening Aaoogah, Aaoogah...

What is worse is that I see the pain of cisgender discomfort reflected in their face. This doesn't mean they are transphobic; this means they are human. Frankly, if you get us drunk enough, many of us in the trans community will confess to feelings of discomfort dealing with trans people before we transitioned.

What is unfortunately true is that once a trans person goes through puberty, the chance of a convincing transition drops precipitously.

By forcing us to go through puberty, you are sentencing us to a series of Sir, Ma'am or whatever you call yourself, conversations. At the same time, you are sentencing yourself to a series of awkward conversations as well.

Unfortunately, we have had the mandatory gender binary crammed down our throats. It has never been true, but that doesn't matter. It is like the supposed intellectual superiority of Caucasians. It's not true and has never been true, but it doesn't matter - that's what we have taught.

So here's the bottom line. Unless you make being transgender a capital offense, you are going to always have trans people. (Frankly, once you start living authentically, I don't know if it's possible to go back to an unauthentic lifestyle)

By restricting gender affirming care, you are not just impacting our lives but also your enjoyment of life as well. Do you really want to do that?
