Anonymous asked The whole "down with cis" thing makes me uncomfortable, because It makes me feel like we're putting trans people up on a pedestal just for... Existing. I mean, lots of trans people are douchy, self entitled d----, yet tumbir treats them as if they can do no wrong and it's cis people who are the problem..Like... The problem isn't a person's gender identity. It's their attitude SORRY I MISSED THIS ONE! I guess I see where you're coming from. Personally, I don't want to be treated like I'm better than anyone else. If I do or say something wrong, I want someone to tell me, "Hey, Zach, you should apologize, cause that was mean." don't want folks to let it slide just because I'm trans. And I certainly don't want to be viewed as some kind of god based solely on my gender identity. If you're gonna view me as a god, view me as a god for everything else about me, 'cause, as we all know, I'm f------ flawless Basically, treat everyone the same, y'know? Show folks respect and kindness regardless of how they identify. No one is better or worse than anyone else because of things beyond their control, like gender, race, or sexuality. We're all in this crappy world together, so we should try to make it better together. #pondering potats #anonymous 45 notes Nov 30th, 2015

OWN WITH CIS
Plus promoting this "meme" can make trans people feel incredibly uncomfortable because their wish is to become cis, to become comfortable enough with their body to NOT want to f------ hurt themselves every waking moment of their lives. Being trans is not a choice, it is not an accessory. I am not trans but I imagine being born with a body that doesn't match with your mind at all is hell on earth, and working to make it match can be even more of a challenge because of all the b------- society throws at you. I honestly would not wish for anybody to go through that kind of torture, and every single trans person that tries their best to live as best as they can while trying to overcome a battle against themselves has my utmost respect But no, those that endorse "down with cis" are just sitting on their phone or computer, spewing b------- like "WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE CIS?" and "CIS PEOPLE SHOULD F------ DIE" or some other equally vile posts, inadvertently sending the message to trans people that working to get their body matched up with their mind is a terrible thing, and that they should just live with their goddamn dysphoria for the rest of their lives. queernuck: rabbittiddy: superluminalflower: tfw takashiO doesn't know extremely basic concepts of how gender works or what cisness IS this is the worst discourse i've ever seen lmfao 99% of Tumblr doesn't Hell do you even know what it means, or are you one of those ackasses who treat it and trans like greaser/square or punk/jock or goth/prep? I...what? Are you really comparing our understanding of the structural ways that trans bodies are pathologized and the resultant harmful discourses surrounding our bodies as akin to us choosing sides in goths vs preps? because like...h-------- Imao Nope was referring to the fact that 99% of the time to have s what trans/cis comes off as. Then again this is the site where queer theory could make a killing as far as getting a paycheck is concerned
