Img reads: Hi, bestie, I’m Rat! I’m a Palia streamer and vtuber over on twitch. My streams are for the girls, gays and the theys but everyone is welcome as long as you’re nice. We would love to have you! twitch.tv/RatthewVT discord.gg/RatthewVT
Img reads: “You’re trans? I couldn’t even tell” This one will have mixed reactions, I’m sure. Many trans people will find this to be a compliment. I pass, I’m privileged enough to do so, but having my transition commented on unprompted feels icky and dismissive. Passing and non passing trans people are equally valid, and commenting such out of the blue feels kinda weird. It makes me feel “othered” in a way. Treat trans people normally: level impossible apparently
Img reads: “You cant be trans because XYZ” We really cant be out here putting expectations like this on trans people while simultaneously denying them easy access to healthcare! Besides, everyone has different goals for their transition, and different starting points. You dont get to decide who is and isnt valid!
Img reads: “You look great for a trans person”. A backhanded “compliment” you can keep to yourself - rooted in transphobia. The notion that trans people generally dont “pass” or dont look good, is simply untrue. Also, trans people don’t owe you passing! All we want to do is exist safely and happily in our bodies. We dont exist to look good to you or pass, and many of us cant even access the healthcare we need.
Img reads: What is your assigned gender at birth? A question that nonbinary and genderfluid people often can get asked, sometimes even binary trans people. Again, what is your obsession with genitals?
Img reads: What is your real name? Most (but not all) trans people change their name because they no longer identify with their old one. It is now dead - called a “deadname”. Asking what their “real” name is, is ignorant and hurtful. My new name is my real name because it represents who I truly am!
Img reads: Have you had the surgery? We all know this question is directed at bottom surgery, and I ask: do you ask cis people about their genitals too? No, you don’t because worrying about other people’s genitals is weird
