trans communities are just kind of toxic and i just want to live my own life as a person first, my career second, etc. and then being trans preferably dead last. i hang w cishet normative people irl for the most part since most lgbtq+ people kind of have something crazy going on mind you, i don’t pass. but it’s completely possible to live a normal life and not discuss your gender for like the nth time
i do the same thing. i transitioned young so i never lived as a man at all and i have almost no shared experiences with many other transgender people. i see it as such a small and unimportant piece of my life that has no bearing on my social and professional life. unfortunately that’s driven some people away
see it’s so funny because even though i don’t pass (and i don’t think i will for some time, particularly because of my voice), i’ve never used it as a primary discussion point with people. it’s stupid if anything. i am who i am, i might internally resent the fact i didn’t transition early but i will never make it a point online or in-person. if people misgender me, it’s okay, since i do this for myself and no one else. i’ve appreciated my transition and i hope it leads me to a level of success
this is real as fuck. i try not to sound like “wish they didn’t make it their whole personality” bc other people can do what they want. i personally make it not a part of my personality at all cause that’s what makes me comfortable. lowkey it’s nice to know there’s other people out there who feel the same way
