    The whole genre of essays where cis people seize on "the trans moment" to compare being trans to something else they actually have experience with is still going strong It's pretty shitty

        "Is it like my plastic surgery? Is it like my eating disorder? I don't know, and I can't possibly know, but I've talked to exactly zero trans people about this and I'm confident you'll love this deep dive into MY TRAUMA we're about to embark upon"

        You could've just written your article about your own thing and it would've been fine It would've been a lot better You don't need to seize on what you think the hot topic involving a marginalized group du jour is to get those clicks

        I dunno, it's not my lane exactly to be talking about this, but I have done stuff like try to bring my own history with racism into a discussion of Trayvon Martin's death etc and it felt effective and powerful at the time Now I regret it and feel bad about it

        Comparing things to each other is the way we talk about things and try to build bridges and all that stuff but come on you gotta have some awareness of what exactly you're doing when you do that, whose toes you're stepping on

        I get the desire to try to put it into some context they can empathize with better but most of the time they just come to the conclusion of "yeah things suck but I got over that so you can do too"

        As a trans guy with ED:NOS, BDD, & who's had plastic surgery ALL not about my gender, I gotta say: these comparisons suck, y'all. 1. we have this shit, too. 2. transition doesn't always fix it. 3. stop perpetuating the idea that ppl need to *relate* to treat us as humans.

        Sometimes other people don't have any business "getting it". Y'all don't have to get it to do the right thing. I'm neuroatypical so I have a lifetime of practice at "IDGI but it matters to you so I'm at least gonna care abt how much it matters to you bc you matter". Start there.

        Ugh. The one where everyone does this with Black people is equally not fun.
