I feel like I HAVE to be Jade… Like… That’s what everyone thinks I SHOULD be…
Isn’t the whole point of this to be who I think I really am?
So what if that’s a guy? A skinny guy…? A skinny guy with a high voice and pretty eyes…
That doesn’t make me a girl…
I feel like I get so much support when “being my true self” means transitioning into a woman. But when it’s me staying a man… Or trying to make myself more masculine to fit how I feel inside… I get laughed at and ridiculed… Told I just need to transition because I’m not really a man…
It seems so… Callous… So against the whole idea of this…
Honestly… At times, this all just seems like a backlash against traditional norms… A striking at the status quo…
A social movement.
Not something geared toward helping men who are confused and scared. Just something geared toward quashing traditional masculinity.
I feel like I’m cared about in the trans community community only as far as I’m willing to subvert masculinity. As soon as I go back to using my boy name, everyone treats me completely differently. I’m not treated with respect or love. I’m treated with immediate hostility or, at best, neglect.
