on being trans: an ode and an elegy
i am transgender.
i have known this concretely for about 7 years. i have known that i wasn't quite a girl for much longer.
my family chalked it up to tomboyishness. that was an acceptable form of gender rebellion; they didn't have to acknowledge anything, so it wasn't there.
when i did come out to them at fourteen (via text, as i was terrified that saying the quiet part out loud would force them to squash it), there was nothing. no change, no reassurances. my mom said exactly this:
"we know. be home in 15."
Transitioning
This is exactly what my transition was. I had already tried to die and fucked it up. So I choose to try to be useful in the fight for liberation, struggled, and found out that if I was going to actually be effective, I needed to decide to actually live. Went to try to figure out how to actually live, and realized it was because I wasn't alive to begin with. So I transitioned, and now I'm alive, and fighting to protect and improve rather than fighting to squeeze scraps of utility out of my self-destruction.
There’s something so sinister about this and I can’t describe it
Wait I think I know what it is
I approve of powerscaling discourse only in utterly senseless contexts. I don't give a shit about which shōnen protagonists could beat up which other shōnen protagonists, but I will 100% read your five thousand word essay exploring the subtle nuances of establishing a tiered ranking of the Smurfs.
"Could Batman beat Captain America" trite, tedious, bullshit. "Could Deadpool beat Roger Rabbit" now you have my attention.
rip @therealjacksepticeye you would've loved the muppet joker
