Just to get this clear, you're theorizing that trans women transition because it's less stigmatizing than being a man with feminine interests?

In some cases, I think this is a possibility yes. This would have to be cases where there's no clear reward to being a man (espec. sexually), where they feel very little sympathy for their gendered difficulties, and wants to feel community and pride and sympathy for who they are.

I think I'm allergic to anything absolutist. I wouldn't say "no" cases. Maybe it's extremely, extremely rare, but I'd bet all the money I own that you could at least locate 1 circumstance in all of human history where a community stigmatized a trans woman less than a cis man.

I feel like I'm fighting against some sort of strong "this can definitely not be the case", here. Like, I want to have a less defensive conversation that still maintains a great deal of compassion. Absolutism I usually interpret as the person being very defensive.

I dislike the idea that people can or can't talk about things. I invite you to talk about cis-ness, and cis people to talk about trans - and people of any group to speculate about any other group. I refuse to shut anyone up on the basis of who they are.

Aella—long time, 1st time here—I get what you're saying & used to think along those lines, too. But one day I realized for us, it's an interesting debate topic. To them, it's us playing Devil's Advocate w/ their humanity. I read your tweets thinking, "What's the point of this?"

Thanks! Most of the reaction I'm getting to this is pretty aggressive, and treating me as some sort of idiot, or evil, which is really lowering my opinion of this community. I'm absolutely open to having conversations with people who don't think I'm a piece of shit.

And so I'm willing to have my mind changed about my tweets being threatening. I don't know if they are or aren't, but I'm open to it.

When black people nationwide are telling you that they are mistreated by the police, I hope you as a pretty white lady gives them the benefit of the doubt instead of arguing with them over their collective life experience. Same idea here. Feel free to DM if you wanna chat.
