being trans means so much waiting. I’m tired of waiting while I’m actively suffering, especially when that waiting isn’t necessary, doesn’t make sense, is put in place by cis people who aren’t affected and have no idea what it’s like. I need no condescending “things take time”

cis people think things just *happen* after a while, but every transition step, every legal right that cis people don’t even have to consider, every scrap trans people get, is fought for with blood and sweat and tears. we don’t get shit for free just because time passes.

The longer I have to wait, the more I resent the years I didn't even know I was transgender, because accurate information was hidden from me in lieu of harmful stereotypes.

Has a discussion about this with my stepdad. Non-LGTB people really seem to think that every advance in LGTB rights has been achieved through calm conversation and the good will of non-LGTBs. Most don't even know about the disturbs that gave birth to the LGTB pride.

oh, this hit like a bowling ball. while I was waiting the year I had to wait for medical transition options to be available to me (and im lucky only having to wait that long), the number of times my (cis) therapist told me I just had to be patient, it will come with time etc...

While I was kept out of the loop, too! I had no idea when they were processing things or what the next hoop i had to jump through for them was most of the time-- what was I waiting for? "It will come with time" perhaps, but they're the ones arbitrarily withholding medical care

Patience is a virtue but after a long time of being jerked around, a virtue is thin ice.

I hate that line. It just sounds so dismissive “these things take time”. It’s like it should be accompanied by patting your head. Maybe it’s from having multiple friends who transitioned but I hate the gatekeeping and stalling that was in their way.

I believe MLK had something to say about this when he talked about the man who "paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another [person]'s freedom". Not that you'll ever hear that side of MLK from most of those people.
