the fun thing about calling it the "prime directive" is that they routinely went against that shit all the time in star trek. it practically existed to be defied!

personally i say fuck it, if something pings my radar i'm just like "oh have you considered that you might be trans?"

I'm absolutely with you on that. I'll never say it outright like "Hey friend, you're trans" but I've had the conversation multiple times where I've said something along the lines of "Hey that was a super not-cis thing to say/do, do we maybe wanna unpack that?"

The prime dirEGGtive was meant to be broken, but it should be broken tactfully.

prime dirEGGtive

data-laughing but also yes, exactly. tact is vital; i think it's telling that a lot of the concerns about violating the PD in trans-positive spaces boil down to "but what if it forces them further into denial/otherwise makes it worse?" and of course no one wants to be (or even just feel!) responsible for that. so i do think it's important to treat the issue with care and caution when we're dealing with people who aren't initiated into the mysteries.

basically "be gentle, but No Trans Left Behind"
