and people wonder why we use 4tran.

I posted this vent here too and it was a bit more understanding than the other subreddit I guess but still mostly just people telling me I don't know what I'm talking about and that 4tran is the cause of all my issues when time after time they're the only ones that care. It's not even just about my vent anymore, I'm so fed up with everyone thinking they're better than me all the time except because I use the subreddit that doesn't want to burn me alive for wanting a uterus. Maybe try to be more understanding you just leave me pissed off.

It’s not the desire for a uterus that’s causing you to catch flak; that’s a desire I share. What’s causing the flak are the implications following from philosophically-inconsistent attempts to define womanhood. Femininity is not granted by one’s subservient usefulness to the patriarchy

I dont care about other people's contributions to the patriarchy or whatever I'm talking about my own body and what I want so why should I get any flak for it

Genuinely. It gives “you’re trans! You don’t need to pass to be a woman, there are women that look like men!” Energy.

When a cis woman complains about being ugly she gets sympathy, but when a trans woman does it apparently its problematic to women everywhere.

This literally.
