MODERATORS
had a trans girl get offended when i said to her that i preferred spending time around her and other trans people, apparently she didnt consider herself trans or like to be refered to as a trans woman. idk, it felt kind of alienating like she was passing now and so didnt want to be associated with other trans people anymore like i was beneath her or something.
What internalized transphobia does to a gal
(sorry if I shouldn’t be replying on this post just let me know if so - straight cis man)
My trans sister has expressed similar feelings. I’ve tried encouraging her to find some people she could befriend in the community while she’s on her transition journey. She says she doesn’t want to be part of the community, and once she’s fully passing in her eyes (I personally think she very much is already, and keep telling her that) that she wants to just live as a woman with nobody else ever knowing she’s trans. It’s obviously her choice, but I can’t help but constantly wish I could do more for her than just be supportive and love her for who she is.
