Honestly I’m begging people to be more kind to trans kids who have internalized transphobia. if I have to see another trans kid get bad faith asks end up repeating transphobic/transmisogynistic ideas (ex. Terms using like biological women instead of cis women, male/female socialization, amab privilege, etc.) and people end up just harassing and attacking the kid I might just become depressed again. Please be nice to these kids and help them realize their wrongs. Don’t let them get into transphobic self hating circles.
Especially since the most recent case I’ve seen of this happened to a young trans girl. Imagine seeing a young trans girl surrounded by transmisogynists online to the point she is repeating transmisogynistic ideas herself and thinking “you know what I’m going to harass her!” , nooo help her!! Be nice. Educate her. Tell her that she doesn’t have to hate herself and that she doesn’t have to let people walk all over her, that she can stand up for herself. That she can be happy and proud of her trans girlhood, that her having confidence isn’t a bad thing.
Semi-related note - even adult trans people who spread transphobia around shouldn’t be mass harassed and stalked. I’m talking about trans people who hold no power. Not people like buck angel and blare white who have the platform to cause damage.
I’ve seen multiple stalker pages for transphobic trans women who barely have 50 followers. And it’s just weird. Like yeah these people hold self hating transphobic/transmisogynistic ideas, but why are y’all making whole blogs dedicated to stalking and documenting everything they say online.
It’s just weird imo.
