I’ve been on HRT for nearly two years and repeatedly explained to them the legal discrimination that I’d face working for the federal government, let alone the gd military. They still send me recruitment ads and have given out my number in the past. It’s freaking exhausting.
Even if I wasn’t trans, I would still refuse to fight for a pedophilic, egomaniacal president that bombs schoolgirls to get his mushroom-shaped phallus hard.
I mean, this isn’t even a trans issue. Everyone has family, and even if you’re gender conforming they can be a net detriment to your life.
Yes, I am not saying that family isn’t potentially harmful, I’m saying that it does require a level of privilege to be able to afford to cut them off.
Also, this is under a post about a trans person’s experience in a community for trans femme people. Please, be considerate of what this space is for, and the specific needs and obstacles that trans people face. Even if what you said here was true for gender conforming people, we all know that it would never be true in the same way for us as it is for them, and so attempting to universalize the point also risks erasing the specificity of trans experiences.
