Or…by referring to them by those silly terms you could be normalphobic and projecting your bigoted beliefs against male and female on a poor, innocent baby.
Dysphoria is the disconnect between a person’s gender and sex. Gender is determined by one’s neurosex. When the neurosex doesn’t match up with a person’s biological sex, it causes distress and discomfort. This is known as dysphoria, and it’s the single requirement to being trans, whether it’s minor or severe.
A trans person doesn’t have to go on hormones, have surgery, or conform to gender roles to be trans. This isn’t what transmeds stand for. We simply want cis people to stop latching onto the trans label when they’re not actually trans. They’re hurting both themselves and the trans community.
It’s okay to be cisgender, just like how it’s okay to be transgender. Being cisgender doesn’t make your struggles less valid just because you’re “privileged,” according to Tumblr.
Do you realise this presents two conflicting definitions of dysphoria?
Dysphoria is the disconnect between one’s sex and gender,
Dysphoria is distress and discomfort caused by the disconnect between one’s sex and gender.
Or, together, that dysphoria is caused by dysphoria. The second is the accurate one, as least psychological/psychiatric definitions of Gender Dysphoria (and by the word ‘dysphoria’ in a general sense).
The first isn’t dysphoria, but [being trans] itself—more generally a “disconnect” between one’s gender and one’s assigned gender and/or sex.
Requiring this “disconnect” to be trans isn’t incorrect, per se, but tautological, as it means that [being trans] is required to be trans. Requiring the second is simply incorrect, as dysohoria is something caused by being trans (i.e. it cannot possibly cause someone to be trans). Conflating these two definitions, however, can be used in bait-and-switch tactics to defend dysphoria-as-a-requirement.
Sur Twitter, Trystan Reese a remercié “Salut les Terriens” pour leur invitation, expliquant être en attente d'excuses. “Biff et moi avons passé un super moment avec les équipes de “SLT” et nous les remercions de nous avoir invités. Nous savons qu'ils vont publier des excuses pour m'avoir appelé “maman”, et j'espère qu'ils se souviendront que beaucoup, beaucoup d'autres hommes ont accouché avant moi”.
Qu’aurait-il fallu inscrire sur ce bandeau ? Le père porteur ? Le père tout court ? Pas de bandeau ? Quand on se présente comme un homme auprès de son compagnon avec un bébé qu’on prétend avoir mis au monde, il faut bien s’attendre à l’incompréhension du grand public qui réclame qu’on lui remette les pendules à l’heure un minimum. Par incompréhension, entendons “perplexité face au travestissement de la réalité”. Trystan Reese est bien la mère biologique de cet enfant qui s’entendra sans doute répéter par ses parents que la reproduction sexuée des êtres humains est le plus grand mensonge de l’histoire de l’humanité…
Parce que, non, les hommes ne peuvent toujours pas porter d’enfants, Trystan Reese a beau vivre comme tel, ce n’en est pas un. Toutes les interventions médicales au monde n’y changeront rien et on ne fera pas croire à 99% de la population que “beaucoup d’autres hommes ont accouché avant [lui]” tout comme on ne leur fera pas croire que la Terre est plate.
Si j’avais pu, j’aurais mis un “je n’aime pas” sur ce post absolument immonde. Ce sont deux pères avec un enfant, et les hommes peuvent accoucher, maintenant va te faire foutre. Enerve-toi après moi si tu veux, j’en aurais rien a battre, ce sera ma seule et unique réponse. Tu ne mérites pas que je me penche plus sur toi et ton discours transphobe.
You know if you’re going to call me a transphobe do It in the actual post and not in the tags.
better?
Yeah. But sadly you’re wrong, I’m no transphobe.
are you sure?
Yes because your straw man argument is completely idiotic. Peter Parker, the well established superhero isn’t trans. It’s simple fact. If the creator wanted them to be trans he would’ve said so. Now I have no issues if you want to make this head cannon but don’t try to push it as fact.
pushing peter parker to be cis is also technically a headcanon
You do realize being cis is the default. You literally come out of the womb one gender or the other. You can’t be born trans. And how is a fact of the character headcanon?
to quote you, “I have no issues if you want to make this head cannon but don’t try to push it as fact.”
Canonically he’s cis since the wiki calls him a male. Not trans male. And him being cis isn’t headcanon that’s how to creator intended him to be. And when I say “you can’t be born trans” I’m saying you can’t be born as the opposite gender you were given at birth because if you were you wouldn’t be trans you’d be the opposite gender.
fun fact: transgender men have always been and will always be male
fun fact: transgender men have always been and will always be male ^Haiku^bot^8. I detect haikus with 5-7-5 format. Sometimes I make mistakes.
To all the girls who identify as nonbinary: I’m genuinely sorry for what society did to you and every other girl on this planet, I’m sorry it made you hate being female so much you deny being female at all. This goes especially for the nonbinary lesbians out there; Lesbophobia is still alive and well and I’m sorry you’ve become proof of how it affects young women. I wish tumblr wouldn’t encourage you to give up on your womanhood. You can be as gender non comforming as you are and still be a woman, and I hope some day you can see that again.
You say you are “sorry”, feigning concern for nonbinary “girls” but demonstrating none.
Dictating their thoughts and motives—“you hate…”, “you deny…”, “give up on your womanhood”—is gaslighting.
“Giving up on their womanhood” is a fundamental misunderstanding; you cannot give up on what you do not have.
And, of course, supporting people’s exploration of their gender and assertion of their honest self is absolutely not “encouraging them to give up on their womanhood”.
Whether someone is cis or trans is and whether they are gender-(non)conforming are two distinct things.
Anonymous: Hey I just read a snapchat newsfeed about bisexuality and pansexuality being kinda partially the same thing. What do you think about that? Are they the same thing? I'm asking because I'm confused AF right now 😅
Heya. So, I get it. I get why people don’t understand the difference because at first, it does sound the same.
Bisexuality: being attracted to both the male and female gender
Pansexuality: being attracted to people regardless of their gender.
You might say that’s the same, right? But pansexuality is different because there’s also an attraction to people who identify as androgynous, transsexual etc.
Some people who consider themselves bisexual aren’t unable to fall for someone who identifies as androgynous, trans, etc, though, which might make things more difficult. But with bisexuality, there’s mostly a preference or difference between falling for one of the many genders (imo gender is a scale and male and female are either ends of the scale). I identify as bisexual but am able to get attracted to androgynous/trans/etc people. Does that make me pansexual? That is a tough question because the difference isn’t always clear. I think it’s way more about yourself and the way you identify than about the difference between pansexual and bisexual.
So there is, in fact, a difference, and I think there should be. Saying there’s no difference is literally telling people that the image they have of themselves is wrong, doesn’t exist, and that they should identify as something they don’t feel like.
i have a few problems with your answer, im not bi so i dont wanna talk over your experience of your orientation but im pan & nb/trans so i can speak for those parts.
i know some pan people (myself included) prefer the “attracted to all genders” definition to the “regardless of” one because that’s what the root pan means (all) and pan peeps can have preferences. also im guessing that by androgyne you meant non binary people? androgyne is a non binary gender but not the only one. honestly those are small nitpicks so it’s whatever.
you also used “transsexual”, trans actually stands for transgender (though older trans people tend to use it, you can’t force the term on others without their immediate permition). its also a question of terminology but that word can make some trans peeps unconfortable.
now i do have a bigger problem with the breakdown of the genders. you seperated man & woman from trans wich is transphobic. a transman is a man and a transwoman is a woman in the same way that a cisman is a man and a ciswoman a woman. so all bi peeps can be attracted to trans peeps (unless theyre transphobic). im not saying you yourself are but the way you phrased things is.
i dont mean to sound rude, i just wanted to let you know so you’re aware of those few things in the future!
