Just jotting down some Wren thoughts here, I guess. This isn’t addressed towards anyone in particular it’s just something that’s been bubbling over for me for a while.

I know it’s pretty easy for cis people to not care about transphobia, which is understandable because it doesn’t directly affect them. But I wish that like, as a default, cis people could recognise how that transphobia impacts trans people.

Like mutiple cis people have expressed confusion towards me for cutting someone off for or being weirded out (or frightened) by a person’s transphobic statements or actions, or for caring too much about transphobia. I’m being real here when I say I have been mocked for noticing transphobia where cis people don’t see it.

And it’s just... frustrating, I suppose. Expressing a fear to a person and having it dismissed as something that can be overlooked. Maybe you guys can but that’s not really an option for me.

#delete later #if person i was discussing this with sees this you rock btw thank you so much for #listening to me talk #its just been bagging at me a while i suppose how cis people can overlook stuff that is prettty damn #terrible to someone like me who is trans and very aware of the way transphobes talk about us #i guess #i dont know just please please please listen to trans people #i cannot express how unsafe having to put up with that kinda stuff makes me feel sometimes #//vent #the rat speaks #transphobia #like obviously i get why cis people dont notice it or care as much but it is #just a tad frustrating #ABSOLUTLY compounded by the current state of trans right holy HELL
