I know these words They only serve to twist the knife But I’ll strive to make them heard Maybe it’s better now I’ve gone away Maybe it’s not, oh who can say
People will send me graphic death threats and imply they know where I live/locations I frequent just because I post things like, being medically transitioned at the age of 16 under the guidance of homophobic academics and doctors had a serious negative effect on me and my development— physical and mental— and was part of an attempt to convert myself OUT of being a lesbian and into a straight man. and i have a lot less issues with social transition. but it’s wild to me that people who transitioned as adults wanna have all these opinions on youth transition when they have NO IDEA what it is like. My body wasn’t finished… I could have used male pronouns and called myself a boy without having surgery before I even started 11th grade. And people want to violently rape and murder me for stating this. Doctors told me, age 15, with bipolar, benzo prescription, PTSD, and a chaotic home life, that I was “meant to be” born male. Like what? why are you supporting some random ass doctors who confused me for no reason. I have always been a lesbian. They told me I was BORN WRONG. Why are you mad at me for telling the truth about my experience? Im not even against adults having access to some transition things like hormones… I just want us to be honest and open about the science. Trans and gnc people deserve so much better than to be the guinea pigs of cis male surgeons with god complexes and fantasies of creation
