I'm an intersex woman and trans women are literally the only people who have ever remotely understood me. I tried to write about my experiences of being insulted, harassed, and misgendered because some people assume I'm trans (MTF), about how painful it is, about how complicated it is, about how the trans experience is the only one in the REMOTE mainstream I'd ever related to in this way... and my workshop partners (all fully female women) lectured me about staying in my lane.
It happened a year ago and wrecked me. I felt so talked-passed and fucked over and slighted and misunderstood. But I recently opened up about this to a mtf friend of mine (the only one that has ever attended the school I went to) and she just hugged me and told me she got it, that I am vALiDd, and that, "we need to stick together." I love her sm.
and you came to this shithole to say something positive? Lol

Based, I'm an intersex mtf but I used to get asked by people if I was an ftm (wide hips, always had booba, short for males, and non working parts) when I was in my late teens and 20s ... It's rough out there, but I'm glad you found somebody to be kind to you op. People can be really mean to people like us.

>wholsome picrel >wholesome and relatable post >wholesome replies Yup, it's a good thread. Iktf OP people really treat people they see as trannies in a cruel way

sorry user, I’m just afraid you’ll get a lot of shitty replies and destroy the image you made of trans ppl over the shitty Any Forums

Yeah I have mosaicism my chromosomes are a bit of a mess, I was always told I was just a late bloomer growing up (90s/00s) should have made more sense though because of me having to go constantly to urologists for them to correct my internal testes and lack of function, later I found out I was a corrected at birth child :/

>fully female women You're fully female too user
Were you being lectured for supposedly being disrespectful to us? Or was she literally just lashing out because she views you as a legitimate and us not so much, and your comparison to us violates her world view? I don't really understand where she gets off being mad in that scenario
31, I grew up in a kinda religious environment.. My parents didn't think twice about things more than to help me be normal.

sorry, I have the unshakable autistic optimism of a cartoon child. Potential frothing anons can't take away my irl experiences.

Yeah seriously. That bitch needs to stay in her lane, who made her traffic police?

yeah, they said I was speaking over trans people and that a direct transcription of things that were said to me on Crystal Cafe when i complained about my trauma with women was transphobic. I mean, the words were transphobic, the CC women were being transphobic. Their issue was that I had the gal to talk about my own life.

I feel like certain groups want to deliberately keep intersex and trans apart, from relating our experiences to each other, "how DARE you TROONS try to speak for intersex ppl..." etc etc or I guess vice versa?? I couldn't believe it happened the other way around but I guess it does.
Matthew Lewis
not a single trans person told me I was wrong. It was all non-intersex cis women finger wagging.
