I was inspired by TheSeamster to make a list of things cis people say in regards to trans/NB/queer people. I think this can almost work as a reference for people who are trying to find out if someone is transphobic, transmisogynist, and generally ignorant.
I'll go first, "I mean, your 'biological' sex is important to your identity. You can't ignore science." A cis boy said this to me while we studied biology in college. __________________ “You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.”. |

"God doesn't make mistakes."
So, wouldn't that mean me being trans isn't a mistake, either?

What is your real name, then? How do you have sex? Did you have surgery?

The English language can't handle so many new pronouns!
As though the language is a physical thing rather than an ever changing and expanding idea. __________________ Demiboy They/them/their Never compromise your identity for someone else. |

OH... I just thought of one!
 "So, do you have a female name?" That's what people on the internet ask me when I tell them I'm trans...  I guess I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing...

I wasn't trying to be offensive!
No offense...but... Why are you so touchy? Political correctness has gone way too far! __________________ Demiboy They/them/their Never compromise your identity for someone else. |

After you spent 10 minutes clearly describing the concept of gender identity and clearly pointed out it is not a sexual preference they say...
"Oh, so you're gay!" __________________

"It's time for you to grow up."
"You weren't disciplined enough as a child." "How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you look like that?" "Nothing you've done matters when you look like that." "You couldn't even keep a marriage." (I was in a life partnership that ended, they think I was married). These were said to me at a family function last night by over-religious extended family. My mom and dad have respected my gender or lack thereof since I was a child. These people are toxic. The second to last one got to me the most because, I am a scientist. I am a writer with a published novel. I worked god damn hard for those "titles", why do my looks erase EVERYTHING I have worked for? I am so discouraged and angry. __________________ “You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.”. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
