Trans rights are human rights

  • It isn’t even AAE, it’s using the “emphatic do”. Like “I do sing really good”.

    Nothing to do with “I be singing”, which would be the AAE form of “I sing”.

    In this case, instead of “it is like that” the “is” becomes “do be” (although the correct form would be “does be”).




  • Do you feel comfortable with people thinking of you as a man? Does it feel nice when people don’t gender you?

    I feel like the only way you’re going to get some answers is through experimentation. Try out different pronouns, do they feel weird? If they do, why?

    I knew I was trans because of my body dysphoria and because I “wanted” to be a girl, but I’d never felt like I was a girl. But I feel like that stemmed of a deep self-hatred, some transphobia and thinking I’d never be “good enough” to be a woman. After many years repressing it, I wanted to try though. And turns out it was the correct choice for me! It took me years to feel comfortable presenting feminine, but for me the discomfort of experimentation was better than “being a man”.

    So yeah, some people figure it out immediately, for others like me it takes years, but the only way to know for sure is being true to yourself and trying things out without caring what other people will say.

    Edit: oh, and yes, non-binary people fit within the trans label, although some of them prefer not to use it.


  • If you consider yourself a male/guy no, you’re not trans. Why do you not feel cis? Maybe your identity lies in the non-binary spectrum.

    What you’ve described is being gender non-conforming, and while that can be a sign of someone being trans, it can also mean you just like some things that aren’t typically associated with your gender, and that’s fine too.
