#but I've noticed a fair few binary trans people begin using they/ them pronouns once they've established themselves and their identity

Got into an internet fight with a stranger [mistake] over the "trans problem" in modern society, so I thought I'd share my thoughts. I don't mean to invalidate anyone's identity, but I feel like so many people wouldn't feel the pressure to perform a certain way or need to come out in the first place if there wasn't such a strict binary of gender expression in a conservation society.

Talking from a personal experience, I probably wouldn't have felt the need to lean into a hyper masculine persona right after seeking hormones if I felt like society would have embraced a gender queer person.

This is not to say binary trans people aren't valid, but gender roles hurt everyone, cis people included. There wouldn't BE a big deal over trans people if people didn't make such a big deal over upholding gender stereotypes.

#i hope this isn't controversial to say- and again i mean no disrespect towards binary trans people #i don't think binary trans people are the problem #but I've noticed a fair few binary trans people begin using they/ them pronouns once they've established themselves and their identity #and i think the problem is with adhering to a strict binary #a binary that doesn't really benefit anyone- so what's even the point? #talking trash
