This is not a cohost discourse post; this is a reply I wish I could give someone in a discord I’m in but they’re Going Through It so it is not the time BUT I can’t stop thinking about this conversation so I’m going to word vomit it here, and also maybe it will help others? Or just help me to vent? I dunno

We, as trans people, are never competing against each other. It bears repeating: we trans people are never competing against each other. If we don’t learn to celebrate each other's triumphs and joys without centering ourselves or feeling inadequate or “left out” we will never be free. When a trans woman makes something beautiful, that is a celebration for us all. When a trans femme community is lauded, that is a win for every trans person who is working towards trans liberation. I am not every trans person and every trans person is me. If I feel I am not part of a vision that a trans femme has executed, then what a gift it is to bear witness to that vision as a brother from the sidelines. If I feel disappointed that I would’ve liked to be included in something but it was for celebrating a group I do not belong to, I search for that work in the groups I do belong to, maybe even endeavor to fill that gap myself. To look at the abundance of trans joy and art and beauty we have and see only lack is deeply unhealthy, personally and at large. We are so much more the same than we are different, and jealousy does not become us. Life is hard and long, and also short and beautiful. Solidarity is necessary to experience it all. Solidarity always and forever, I will live and thrive in honor of my trans sisters and never stop fighting for them to be able to do the same. May all trans mascs come to the same realization and understanding.
