#'TMEs read this' sis you lost me what. that is an Every Trans Person situation

I'm all for acknowledging that some types of bigotry are faced more or exclusively by certain subsets in a community but I also kinda think that you have lost the fucking plot entirely if you've put so much stock in the idea of "tma/tme" classification that you find yourself adding "tmes read this" as some sort of gotcha on a post about your experience with one of the most universal forms of transphobia there is / being mad rather than reassured when people point out youre not alone in that

Like it's very important to point out when something is transmisogyny rather than general transphobia, but sometimes it IS transphobia in general and we should all be able to commisserate.

#'I sought help from an institution and rather than helping at all they insisted on misgendering me and ignoring my concerns' #'TMEs read this' sis you lost me what. that is an Every Trans Person situation #That is soooo universal itd be funny if it wasnt so sad levels #'the suicide hotline cared more about telling me im not my gender than they did about saving my life' is heartbreakingly common #there genuinely used to be tumblr PSAs about how the primary hotline numbers could make things worse if youre queer #and alternate queer-friendly or text-only hotlines to use instead
