Trans 101: Trust
Apr. 8th, 2011 04:32 amThis is probably the most fundamental point I can give, the foundation of pretty much every other Trans 101 piece I'll ever write: trust us. That's it. Just trust us.
Trust us when we tell you who we are or how we know it.
Trust us when we say that we needed to transition and why we needed it.
Trust us when we say that our existence isn't the result of a society with flawed views on gender.
Trust us even when it goes against your feminist theory or psychiatric training, please trust that we know our own lives better than anything you were taught.
Trust us because, as little light so eloquently described, we are worthy of it.
