Posted a TikTok about being “visibly trans” and it’s filled with people saying they thought I was cis. I never thought I would get to this point and it’s really weird lol

It's fun when you reach that point.

As an older trans woman, a number of years after I transitioned, I realized I hadn’t been misgendered in months and shortly after that, I got into a “debate” about trans people and another older woman got exasperated and asked, “Why do you care? Do you have a trans child or grandchild?”

I looked at her for a few moments as if she’d grown three heads to hen finally said, “Because I’m a decent human being and because I’m trans.” It was a jaw dropping moment for her but just as importantly, several other women were then staring at her while one said, clearly being snarky to throw it

back in her face, “So you can’t always tell, can you?” I didn’t win over the transphobe that day but I’m pretty sure I won over a few fence sitters.

Yeah. I know what they mean, but it’s kinda backhanded and feels a little weird. I still use it and hope for the best.

What's worse tho? Being called cis, or being told you're transition goals

is saying that someone is transition goals considered disrespectful?

It depends, but trans peeps are often very critical of their own bodies, so saying "wow I wanna look like you" to someone who thinks they look like trash can feel kinda disingenuous, or just make them look deeper into the things they hate about themselves. It took me years to be comfortable with it

ah, i see. i get gender envy from a lot of trans people i see online (sabre included lol) but for me it’s moreso in terms of fashion and hair styling
