hdkfjf the sweet heterosexuals who are styling me for this photoshoot were just like “you have a little black dress right? just bring one in case” and i’m like ……..
was abt to make a post abt how ive seen like 3 dudes who look like sting yoga man in the last 24 hrs but then this white dude with dreadlocks came into the coffee shop and i overheard him saying he was a horse massager so that takes precedence now
i feel like there are a lot of half-truths and straight up lies we have to stop telling kids about biomedical transition, some of which are mythology derived more from the medical and mental health institutions than trans people themselves but all of which are circulated within gay and trans communities, among them:
– that they’ll be the person they were before
– that physicians, psychiatrists, and therapists know better than they do, and that trauma and desire to transition have to be completely separate for transition to be a valid option
– that transition has any kind of endpoint
– that it’s guaranteed to change their mental health for the better in an uncomplicated way
– that it will cure dysphoria, that their dysphoria is guaranteed to improve in every way or even stay the same, and that persistence or even worsening dysphoria always means biomedical transition was the wrong choice
– that hormone replacement and gender-confirming surgeries are supposed to be uncomplicated emotional experiences
– that they aren’t allowed to have second thoughts and that second thoughts always mean biomedical transition was the wrong choice (i’m over two years in, i’ve had some surgery, and i still have moments where i think ‘what the hell am i doing’ even though i know it’s saved my life)
– that any kind of transition, public or internal, biomedical or otherwise, is a linear process with a specific blueprint they have to follow, and
– that biomedical transition has to be the highlight of their lives or otherwise a life-or-death decision, and that their decisions about what to do with their bodies have moral consequences.
there are definitely a lot of others, but i feel like hearing some of this much earlier in my life would have spared me a lot of internal conflict, agony, and lost time
