sigh i know i’ve made this post at least a dozen times before but once again: cis people, i’m gonna need you to stop explaining being trans as “identifying as a gender different from what your sex dictates”.
listen, my sex doesn’t dictate SHIT, on account of it’s an arbitrary collection of organs and dangly bits and chromosomes which are not, in fact, sentient, and are therefore incapable of designating me as any kind of gender at all.
my body is not the culprit here, dysphoria aside. the culprit is you. yes, cis people, you! you are the ones doing the dictating, not the contents of my pants! so any time you want to stop implying that the ills trans people face are solely the fault of our darn backwards bodies that would be like, super awesome? thanks.
Bodies don’t have intent. Bodies don’t have identities. Bodies don’t have genders. Bodies are bodies.
