I find it interesting when a trans person passes as their gender and a cis person respects them and their gender until they find out the person is trans, and that's when they start having trouble using their pronouns/addressing them properly/recognizing who that trans person is

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #like i found out a coworker of mine's name is 'victoria' but we call her 'vickie' and like imagine...#...if suddenly it's like 'hi victori- vickie i guess...' when that's literally never been an issue #that's the same energy #and it isn't even a case of a cis person getting their gender wrong. it's about them being right yet still wanting to do something about...#...the trans aspect of their identity...#...i find that cis people who hold no significant moral judgement or value in transness can be better about this...#...because usually people who see transness as a failure or a bad thing in any way want to punish those who are trans...#...that sounds like extreme language but i've found it's the most accurate way of describing the attitudes they hold toward transness...#...it isn't enough that they were right it's about the fact the person was trans and they couldn't tell because transness is vast and wide #(at least in some cases wrt the transphobic part. transness IS vast.)#anyway. i need to go to sleep so i don't have less than three hours' to go off of today
