Remembering the time my old nb roommate who went to an LGBT law conference and was heaping the absolute biggest bitchfit texting me cause “some cis guy” was talking about trans people and trans men in particular and my roommate refused to listen to what this guy said cause “why should I listen to him” and I said “are you sure he’s cis?” And then towards the end of the presentation he said something that indicated to the crowd he was a trans man and then suddenly my roommate started to consider what had been shared.
Absolute loser behavior, but not completely unique. We’ve all gotta stop saying only x people can talk about x issues for us to listen. Too many people in the in group will have dogshit takes no one wants to challenge because “well, they are x identity.” Likewise, plenty of people on the out group actually know what they’re talking about and have something to contribute to the conversation.
Especially when it comes to sexuality and gender, you relying on someone outing themselves or you clocking them to decide whether their words have merit is shitty, because you won’t always know if they ARE the group “allowed” to talk about it. And even beyond that, I knew a fuckload about transness before I realized I was trans, it helped me REALIZE I was trans. “Listen to x voices” got sooooo warped in the discourse.
There’s also a distinct hostility towards trans men in queer spaces I’ve noticed. Especially those whom pass well.
honestly if you dont have some type of cringe-ass autism-induced deviantart-tier fetish you arent truly living life
imagining a world where a farmer wakes up in the morning ready to get to harvesting the seasons crops only to find that a big dragon has imprinted on his combine harvester. he takes his hat off and heaves a disgruntled sigh like "god dammit not again"

boys love to lean against the wall and mutter ‘fruits… veggies’ and girls love to stand confidently in the center of the square and shot ‘egg power!’. this is everything i have learned about gender so far
