[CW: Transphobia]

As a non-binary person, I now have to operate under the assumption that any trans person I meet has a good chance of hating my guts simply because of my gender identity (ironic). I really fucking hate that I cannot undo this mindset because of how common transmedicalism and enbyphobia in the trans community has become.

I can’t even see a post on social media that says something like “Trans Rights!!!” and not feel uncomfortable because my initial reaction has become “Does that include me, though? Do you support my rights?”. I will always identify as trans, but I’m heavily frightened by the possibility that transphobic attacks I experience are not just gonna be from mostly cis people.

Now, at every fucking turn, I have to ponder if I belong in any trans spaces or not. After going through harsh amounts of abusive transphobia from cis people, having trans people go out of their way to exclude me has done more to make me feel alone than anything else, and it’s absolutely not what I need right now.

    I don’t fully understand what transmedicalism is, but what I do know offhand is that it’s a bunch of nonsense. Anything that puts gates up to inclusion and simply is that nefarious is quite frankly unwelcome in my eyes. And, after a cursory google search of what exactly it is, it seems like this attitude probably helped delay my egg cracking for so long. Fuck everything about transmedicalism. That shit can go to hell.
