trans people tell me what writers always get wrong/what you wish they would get right
- we dont just stare at ourselves in the mirror, I get the drama of if but it’s just not a thing
- when you deadname trans people, it hurts really bad, but not like “crying on the floor covering their ears” hurt
- wearing multiple binders doesnt change the flatness, it just hurts
- almost nobody binds with bandages, even if they dont have a binder: I wore tanktops layered on top of each other
- dysphoria is irrational, I get dysphoric about my eyelashes being “too long” ok it doesnt make sense
- trans people dont say anything when strangers missgender them
- there isn’t a traumatic experience that causes it, even if they were born a boy they were always a girl and vice versa
- trans people dont out themselves unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary or they feel safe with that group
- we dont always choose names close to our deadnames
- “nice name” “thanks I picked it myself” is a common trans joke
