Medicalizing being trans is about:
- Making it easier and cheaper for trans people to get hrt and surgery under insurance
- Making de-transitioners less common
Medicalizing being trans is NOT about:
- Telling anyone if they are or are not trans because their dysphoria doesn’t match a “one size fits all” model
“Don’t chase people. If they want to leave, let them leave. Don’t open the door for them. Don’t even look at them. Indifference is always the best.”— -my life quote (via suspend)
“Goodnight dear. If you were in my bed it might be the back of your head I was touching, where the hair is short, or it might be up in the front where it makes little caves above your head. But wherever it was, it would be the sweetest place, the sweetest place.”— Zelda Fitzgerald, “Letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald,” 1931
(via wordsnquotes)
i hope you know that i’m self doubting, sorry, hating the words that tied together withdrawals. it’s not the medicine’s fault, only mine. though it hurts to lose someone to love, to know you are no longer their sun, their moon, their comfort. it hurts more to be painted for who i am not, for who i will never be. i am dozens upon dozens of roses, sweet, beautiful, rough at the roots, i have a few thorns. though how dare you make me feel any less than my worth, my light, my potential. you say manipulation. raw emotion. how dare you project guilt onto me for the fearless act of feeling. i am sorry, but i am greater. greater than the picture your lover painted of me. I will always be the girl with a soul too big for her body, with passion too strong to hold. i will not sacrifice my vivid colors for the viewer who does not understand my message, my purpose. i am sorry, i am sorry, i am sorry. i am an endless canvass, a cosmic explosion. though most importantly, i am worthy, enough, important, life changing.
