whatever journey you took to self discovery is a good one. just because wikihow did an article playing into transphobic tropes does not make you bad for finding something in it
i knew a trans woman whose egg cracked when she watched silence of the lambs and saw herself in buffalo bill, your wikihow article is totally fine
Oof to that last one
yeah, i mean she didn't deny that it's a deeply rancid, transphobic movie, and i guess i can see how that would happen. but. eeesh
This is the "back in my day we had to walk uphill on rusty nails both ways" of trans rep. At least today pretty much everyone knows what being trans is even if they hear it from a bigot.
I mean, I realized I was trans after the news aired a really transphobic piece about some athlete (I think it was drag racing?) getting a sex change, when I was a kid. sometimes you just need to hear that being trans is an option and you don't hear anything else. but like that and my dad's general queerphobia convinced me to repress rather than come out then, so it does have consequences.
