    Something I heard Hasan say the other day. Being trans isn’t a mental illness, being anti-trans is a mental illness. Because once you actually start looking into gender and realise its a social construct, you subconsciously start transvestigating people all around you and assuming they are trans (for actions/thoughts/feelings that are normal for heteros)

    Horribly paraphrased of course

      Milo said something similar about TERFism in the UK. TEFFism will take over your entire life, even if you’re otherwise a normal person.

      i’m like a transvestigater but cool (i assume like 90% of the people i run into are trans but it’s just because i’m looking for people like me. and crucially i don’t do anything but feel good in the knowledge that i’m not alone)
