#what i AM saying is that acting as though trans people can meaningfully be hiveminded isn't going to realistically work

The Trans Community is less an amalgamation of every trans person in existence and more of many trans communities with different needs, goals, aspirations, and experiences, so I'm always low-key suspicious every time I hear cis people act as though there is a Singular Hegemonic Trans Community.

When you notice and recognize that there are many trans communities with either similar or polar opposite goals, I think you can recognize commonalities between communities and are able to work with us instead of assuming, you know?

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #i'm incredibly suspicious of the idea that the trans community has a cohesive idea on everything or that we're a hivemind... #...i think the most cohesive idea between most trans communities is wanting to make the world a better place for people like us... #...but even then that falls apart when you look at certain trans communities... #...because - surprise surprise- we are not a Monolithic Organization... #...and i think hegemonizing us is one of the first steps to anti-trans radicalization... #...because it requires you to see us less as people but as Trans People (derogatory)... #...where everything we do is because we are Trans People (derogatory) #i'm by no means saying that if you've done this you're irredeemably on the path to being anti-trans #what i AM saying is that acting as though trans people can meaningfully be hiveminded isn't going to realistically work #this has been something i have been trying to get better about - recognizing just how many trans communities there are #and that not all trans communities will even have trans rights in mind. sometimes it's the opposite
