Not Sold.
I don’t think there are many trans people
Who can easily separate
Their body dysmorphia
And their gender dysphoria
I don’t think there are many people
Who can even recognize
When they are being body negative
I think it is really easy
To convince yourself
That your self hatred
Is motivational, positive–
Even empowering!
All anyone is willing to admit to
Is gender dysphoria
When you are in the trans community–
Everyone seems to be shouting it from the rooftops
“I’m not self-loathing–
I’m transgender
And you need to respect
That I have perspective–
Everyone who’s fat and hates themselves
Is because they are fucking fat losers–
Not because they’re trans!!!”
Yeah okay consider me
Not sold on this.
Not to mention
The numerous healthy cis folks
Who can’t fucking handle their cis flesh
As it is.
Stop pretending self image
Is a trans specific issue
