it's for the trans people who haven't figured it out yet. (people like we used to be!)
back then, we knew of someone in our class who was trans. but we didn't know what that meant. we didn't know them personally, nobody really explained it to us, we didn't know what sorts of feelings lead you down that road. we didn't even know if it WAS related to feelings or you just went in one day and a doctor was like "i'm afraid it's serious... you have the transgender you're going to die unless you take these hormones".
i had a friend who sort of understood how medical transition worked, and explained it very bad to me. telling me you had to go into the doctor's office every two weeks for an estrogen injection (i think they didn't know pills existed, and they didnt know you could do injections at home). which sounded like a lot of work to me. They didn't explain what being trans was though, they just explained medical transition and that with estrogen it gives you boobs and i was like "dang I kinda want that that sounds cool!" but I didn't know I could just decide to do it.
and we just weren't exposed to enough about it outside of that to figure it out. which is honestly quite incredible given we were active in the MLP community. Like, I remember that we loved Forest Rain's music and watched her video coming out and just Did Not Understand any of what was being said. we were dense as FUCK ok? we were denser than a pile of bricks.
y'all i need you to understand that someone on IRC explained species dysphoria to us like a year or two before anyone ever said the words gender dysphoria to us. what???????
so it took us until YEARS later, stumbling on someone in a my little pony chat offhand referencing a place with a bunch of trans memes with no explanation other than "i hang out there because you know", us deciding to follow that link, and then an overwhelming week of us getting overwhelmed with "OH. OHHHHH. ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh" before we GOT it. We had basically done half the transition already at that point without even realizing it. Which, props to us, but it would've been nice to know years earlier that we could change our name and pronouns if we wanted to. and that there were other people experiencing similar things that could help us work through our feelings, put words to them, help us figure out what to do about them. people who'd understand.
TDOV is about that. TDOV is for the dense motherfuckers like me who won't put two and two together unless you make it blindingly obvious. unless they're saturated with enough passive knowledge of this stuff that they realize it's not a bunch of disparate isolated events but instead a broad concept that actually exists and can be thought of and learned about and explored. That's who TDOV is for.
