people in one group of lgbtq+ aren't allowed to label others in a different group in a way they're not comfortable or don't agree with i'm not going to sit here for 3 minutes giving examples, but one group won't know what it's like to live under the label and identity of another, and they don't know what's best for that group (i guess aside from if they identified that way before, which is an exception)

being lgbtq+ doesn't suddenly bestow upon you all the correct knowledge about a group, and people who have made this point CLEARLY have not heard about the "lgb" movement. you might have more experience with trans people from being in the community, and you might know more than the average person, but that does not suddenly give you the right to derail a group.

i think this is related enough to mention but just to get this clear: you are allowed to have opinions on another group. those opinions are allowed to be negative. you're allowed to not understand or not get a group and even if people are going to avoid you for it, you're allowed to hate a group. but you are NOT allowed to use that hate to hurt or derail that group.

no matter how knowledgeable you think you are on a group for some obscure reason, unless you are apart of or were apart of that group you are not allowed to go after us. you do not know what's best for us, you don't know what our personal needs are, and you don't know what we go through. you might have seen part of it, but you don't *know*. don't speak to us like you do, and i won't do the same.

this especially goes out to any cis person acting like they know trans people, and especially even MORE to any cis person who is lgbtq+. because these were the people that prompted this post (but of course, not the only ones doing this). listen, being trans is a complicated and stressful thing and is NOTHING like being cis. you have no clue what we are experiencing. you can do as much research as you like, you will never know us enough to label us as something we're not. because if you're labeling us as something we're not in the first place, it's clear that you don't know us.

honestly man i agree but people just want to feel like they're more important or more right than everyone else and this is why this shit happens. and/or they just genuinely hate a group

honestly i think cis transmeds are only doing it because they see trans people being transmeds and say ah. so being a transmed is correct. I Am Now This

or they're just. transphobic on their own lol but from what i can guess transmed trans people usually influence it at least a little

this is flipanim, i need to spell out to people that i'm not actually cisphobic so i'm not cancelled for it. what did you expect

god i wish but i think that post killed my braincells and also like. it didn't do anything actually productive i think lol they didn't listen

eh pretty much everyone but them and like maybe some of her followers think what she did was shitty so that's good enough for me, she's not gonna recognize it herself so
