    I think internal characteristics (I’m not a fan of calling it symptoms because it implies that being trans is a disease) tell a broader story of the trans experience. Also as an adult I can say that I barely remember my behaviour as a child so I don’t relate to almost any items on that list. Lastly I don’t like gatekeeping being trans and don’t care who does and doesn’t consider themselves trans, I just made that comment for other people who might’ve read your post and assumed it was a good list for trans self discovery (I really believe it isn’t)






  • ‘Man’ isn’t ‘designated’ to anything. We just exist and are sentient and able to think about what we would like our lives to look like. Most people would like to live a life beyond working 40 hours a week on a job they don’t enjoy and where they have no say in anything. We have enough resources to make sure everyone has a home and food and can live a fulfilling life, if only those resources were divided in a fair way.






  • No one is defending that problematic behaviour. The user should be banned for that (if true) but it has literally nothing to do with them having neopronouns. Read my (and ada’s) comment again and do some introspection before you hurt our community more. Stop being a terf-like transphobe.


  • You’re portraying people who use neopronouns in a really unfair way that sounds pretty transphobic to me. The user this whole discussion originated from never even demanded that people use drag’s pronouns. Imo drag has other problematic behaviour that has nothing to do with drag’s gender expression or pronouns. Drag was pretty understanding when it came to people not understanding drag’s pronouns.

    You sound exactly like a terf who is afraid that trans women will somehow get in the way of the feminist struggle. Social struggles aren’t won by pointing at someone more marginalised than you and ridiculing them, they’re won by being radically inclusive of all marginalised groups and advocating against oppression of all forms.

    Think about how you feel when getting misgendered or when people don’t accept you being trans. Imagine how it feels for someone who doesn’t fit into the gender binary and has neopronouns to be told that their gender expression sets ‘a bad example’ for the rest of the trans community. If you want to ‘represent trans people’, then as a fellow trans person I’ll say you’re doing a bad job.
