The Queeranon Theory/Your Sex Is A Part Of You
And then there’s this whole other theory
The Queeranon theory
That traditional ideas of what
Trans is and isn’t
Have shifted so much
That what we are now seeing
Is trans people, who might’ve previously
Transitioned without wanting all of it,
Picking and choosing
What they are more or less comfortable with,
Without doctors getting in their way, without
The need to go off the grid.
Bottom surgery is expensive?
Don’t fucking have it.
Naturally flat-chested?
Why bother with them?
Allergic to HRT, worried about health consequences?
Option b–
Just don’t fucking take it.
I will say, however
That the main reason
I advocate against microdosing
Is because, medically, you just get
Low hormones on both sides. You don’t
Really avoid the fire, you just
Dance on the side of the fire pit
Instead of jumping in the pan.
Arguably– the pan is safer.
That’s my issue, anyway
Speaking of which, I forgot to take my hrt
I should go do that, hold on–
K.
See– the attention span is shorter on this theory lmfao
Cuz it doesn’t really hold weight, see
Perhaps there are loads of nonbinary people pursuing surgery
Or perhaps these people are transgender people who are uninterested
In the excessive removals and modifications
One must make in their life
In order to transition to the other sex, or gender.
Loads of people identify as nonbinary and then
“Stop”, and then identify as
“Binary trans”
Why can’t I accept this? Honestly because
Being “binary trans” and being nonbinary are not mutually exclusive
You don’t have to make a choice
People on reddit be like
bUt NoNbInArY IZZZ TRANZZZZ
I KNOW
My issue is
Stop saying someone who is binary presenting
Can’t be nonbinary
Just because they are transgender–
Literally everyone accepts that you can be cisgender
And not transition
And identify as nonbinary.
Does that make that person trans?
In the sense that medically transitioning means transitioning from
One gender to another, presenting, hormonally or surgically–
Then nope.
In the sense that anyone who identifies as trans
Regardless of circumstance, regardless of presentation
Then sure– anyone who identifies as trans is trans.
Without exception.
^this presents sooo many logistical issues, such as
How do you count a community or a population
That needs help, according to what the memes say–
How do you help people
Who can’t be identified in any traditional way?
Do we create a third gender option
For people to take advantage of, or do we
Create a third option for people
To be segregated by–
Your choice, ya’ll–
I think the solution is to accept that
Sex, is something that is immutable.
I am thinking about this so hypnotically largely do to the fact
That now that I’ve had top surgery
I am eligible to change my birth sex.
I have philosophical problems with this.
It’s not accurate to say that I am male–
I don’t have any of the same considerations
Logistically it gives me anxiety.
Will it be kinda nice
To get my pills from the pharmacy
As a male…? I guess so yeah
It would be “validating”, whatever that means to ya’ll, but for me
It isn’t validating to lie.
It’s weird, and misleading.
For example when I go to the red cross
I have to tell them I’m transgender,
They say I’m female on my application.
My blood gets a different label.
I don’t take it personally– they help me have
Dope cbc levels.
Anyway– I don’t think it’s important
For me to tell the world that I am
Male on my birth certificate, that of which
Is also a lie. I was born female. It’s not
A personal issue for me, it’s a fact–
I think it’s erasure to insist otherwise because
If I had been born a boy I would have had
A different life.
How do I know that?
Fucking look around. Unbelievable denial.
The proof of gender and sex discrimination is all around us
I can’t believe the same tribe
That championed feminism and equal rights
Fails to see the irony in
“I was born the way I identify, just gaslighted”
Did I enjoy being born female and being raised as a girl?
Are you fucking serious? It almost killed me, but
It doesn’t have anything to do
With whether or not I should say that
I have a certain anatomy.
Can surgery and hormones ease my pain?
Absolutely.
But they aren’t making me born again, they just help me
Live through the day, without being at odds
With everyone and everything around me.
*
What am I saying? I think I’m saying
That the angriest and most outraged among us
Have the most growing to do, and
No matter what gender you identify as
Your sex is a part of you.
