not to be trans on main but cis people will literally like….never know what it’s actually like to be trans. they get 2 live their everyday lives just being magically comfortable in their own bodies, the way society perceives their gender, etc. They get called the right name, the right pronouns, etc, and they’re able to get treated with respect without even a second thought like.
nd then they’re the ones that say there’s something wrong with trans people, that we aren’t right in the head, that were somehow wrong for challenging their perceptions of gender. they’re so blind to the trans experience that they don’t have a single shred of sympathy for us. do any cis people like….realize how fucked up that is
Having a halfway decent relationship with your abusive parent during adulthood is so weird. Its like, “oh mom, you’re so funny and cute! You violated me and made my childhood a living nightmare, causing trauma that I will never recover from, but nowadays you’re just a barrel of laughs!”
Like, its so great bc as parent and child you share a lot of mannerisms and personality traits, you’ve got a lot of in jokes, you just also have the heart wrenching awareness that this person will never, ever apologize for how they have victimized you, or even just admit to it
