Funny how gay people are allowed to love being gay but trans people aren’t allowed to love being trans or else they’re faking 🤔

WHAT I MEAN is both gay and trans people are made to feel like predatory freaks, they both face extreme bigotry from people outside the community that causes terrible feelings of self hatred and internalized prejudice. And yet its normalized for gay people to feel immense pride and happiness over their identity, while the idea “no one would ever want to be trans” is deeply ingrained into the trans community. We’re expected to hate ourselves and we’re expected to wish we weren’t trans. But that mindset is just a symptom of self-loathing and internalized transphobia. We should be able to love ourselves, we should be able to have that same ammount of pride as cos gays, we should be able to say “yeah being trans can suck a lot sometimes! But it’s a part of who I am!” We should be allowed to not want to chang ourselves on such a fundamental level, because it’s okay to be trans. If gay people can feel pride in being gay without being called fakers then so should trans people.
