Reading wiki entries for historical trans men…
Dr. James Barry, Albert Cashier, Charley Parkhurst, Billy Tipton, and Dr. Alan Hart could have each written “I am a man and want to be recognized across history as such” and transphobes would still be like… “wow what misunderstood butch heroes… lesbian icons!!!!”
#Dr Barry also repeatedly did write about himself as a man & discussed his own masculinity & what it meant to be a gentleman#Obvs he never wrote “I’m a trans man” or anything specific but of course he couldn’t?#also all of his relationships were with other men so that bunks the lesbian theory#his death certificate also records him as male so#maybe he was even a cis man and the story was made up after his death#tho i hope not he's pretty cool#also it's interesting that the binary presented is “lesbian” or “trans man”?#there are no gnc straight or bi women i guess#final point i swea#i doesn't matter if dr barry was trans#because historically speaking he lived and worked as a man and his life and work can't tell us anything about women in medicine#unless you count the content of his work in obstetrics but thats not to do with his gender#whereas florence nightingale who he actually met is far more notable in the context of women in medicine#dr james barry was as far as society at the time was concerned just another guy so what do we gain from reading him as female

Just because someone doesnt experience their gender in a way that’s relatable to you doesn’t mean they are not that gender.
Do not be so narsassistic and assume that your experience is the universal standard.

remember that post top surgery dream you have where there’s this thread on your scar and you pull it and the whole titty unravels and they’re back
spitting a stitch is kind of like the beginning of that happening irl
#absorbable stitches don't always disolve#sometimes they make a bid for freedom via your own skin#be free slimy boi#tw surgery#ftm#tmi

idk if it’s just me but i feel like reacting to creators/ celebrities who are transphobic with “their work sucks anyway” isn’t productive? what if you did like their work? does being suitably entertaining to you mean they’re no longer transphobic? it should be irrelevant, and criticising their work (something of lesser value or importance than morals imo) feels kind of like an ad hom
also we’re now talking about their work instead of their comments & the impact of transphobia like we turned over two pages at once and skipped from “I am against transphobia” to “also I’m smart because I already disliked a popular mainstream media”
#idk it feels like it weakens the stance to be like also you're not that funny anyway#yeah this is about certain British & Irish comedians and writers#trans discourse#TW TRANSPHOBIA#a bit#i'm extra suspicious of this when it comes from cis people tbh#sorry but saying that you didn't like this person to begin with makes it not really that much of a comment#to say you still don't like them but now for reasons you'll get + ally points for
