I just came back to this after a long time and am amazed at how completely applicable and well-phrased it remains. This is becoming required reading for anyone who wants to be my friend. THANK YOU for this.

Thank you. So much. I’ve been reading a lot about trans identities in these past 2 months. Didn’t even realise how prejudicial I was. This was a slap in the face, a good one. :)

I left a comment at the repost on QT, but I wanted to reiterate how awesome this post is. As a trans woman whose identity rejects compulsory femininity I often feel invisible, and when I see those “But I don’t know any!” comments by people with things like the Top Hot Butches list I just want to scream.
