Reposted by violetElizabeth Taylor @elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · 20/07/2026One core element of this I see that is that in cis people eyes, being trans is so often presented as something internal. Being trans isn’t conceptualised as lived experience to them, it’s something internal and psychological 2346

Reposted by violetsynapsid @synapsid.wtf · 04/07/2026think the they/them misgendering that cis progressives constantly do to trans women comes from the fact that they know it would be "bad" to call someone their birth pronouns but they view it more as "being accepting of your lifestyle choices" than actually being able to accept ur a woman etc 842355
