I thought using a specific example would be better than using X, but I'm not so sure anymore.

Think about internalized transphobia. Internalized anything actually. It doesn't matter who you are. Being a trans person won't make one immune. For some people, in some cases, simply making they aware of their behavior is enough to bring a change, although it's potentially something really ingrained.

You can be genuinely nice and be a bigot, that's why I would say treating with the same respect and dignity is not always enough. The sameness is the issue. You in particular might adapt to everyone, but, in my experience, people are much more literal.

This text is really to those just asking questions. They have to understand how their questions have a negative impact when open to the public.

The point is educating and helping people understand my point of view. I can't assume it's obvious for everyone, so I expand and offer more digestible parcels. Or I try at least.

I agree, but this time I'm writing not to ask comprehension from the people affected by the ignorance, but to ask all those that are called out for their behavior to stop and pay attention to what others are saying.

What I wanted to express is the separation that exists between what a persons is and their actions. People find it hard to accept that there's bigotry in their actions if there's no bigotry in their hearts, and that it doesn't matter to the people that suffer.

But they are not equivalent. People that erase trans people read it like that and project. In a medical setting, the biology is important and the language makes sure all parts involved are included in the conversation.

Variety is good for your brain, but it will overwhelm you after a while. You get used to it and a blind spot appears. With the information I have, I'd suggest planning your day around one activity. Be on theme.

You start your day with a goal and imagine how you can achieve it. The planning is one activity by the way. You plan for house long you will do any given thing continuously and where the pauses will be. One hour and then fifteen minutes rest? After a pause, you can reflect upon the subject, write about it, see if you haven't stayed off course, basically process, rinse and repeat.

It's weird being this generic,, unfortunately I see no other way.

There's an argument in favor of using the expression they chose. It taints it. They can say TERF is a slur, but, if the discussion about how horrible and wrong they are uses gender critical, they lose one deflection and anyone interested in the subject will see negative results in their research.

I didn't mean to imply that being non binary is superior. The reason I mentioned it was to show my limitations. I said I had never had to pass to make explicit that I'm speaking without having this experience, without a particular struggle that may be vital to read the author correctly. The chains are the invisible expectations we impose to those around us. I believe in choice, and I believe in the author's choice. I don't believe in upsetting people, but I'll do that from time to time.

I almost didn't post the comment. There's always the thought of causing harm by initiating a conversation out of place or being harsh to someone with no malice. I never dismiss someone's else words. I think about what they said, how I'm interpreting it, what I see and can not see.

As I said before, I don't want to break down the text and destroy the goodwill just to see if I'm right. If my impression is wrong, I'll just accept it and move on. It's definitely not my place to decide.

There is an immense range of variation in female bodies, and obviously I can't cover all contingencies. While I hope that everyone can get something from this guide, when I make generalizations about what a female body "is," I'm talking about an average woman at a healthy weight: not much in the way of muscle mass, and curvy enough to be unmistakably female.

I’m trying to be very careful with my words here, because I don’t believe the author of the guide was. He talked about his personal experience, what he learned from it, and he was kind enough to organize and share everything. That’s all good. He also reinforces and disseminates harmful body issues. And that’s the part that bothered me from the guide’s tittle.

I’m a nonbinary man. I say that to inform my perspective in regards to the subject, where I’m coming from and my limitations. At this point in my life, I don’t have to pass, I have never had to worry about passing or having my identity invalidated by the way I look. I believe that passing is just something we do to be able to exist in society and that our goal should be expressing our identity the best way we can without being chained by societal expectations.

I didn’t want to be negative. I wanted to put a warning for those that would read the guide, but the more I read, the more I can’t recommend people dealing with any body related issues to read. I’ll leave it at that or it’ll become an attack with me quoting everything I find problematic or harmful.

LGBTQ+ Identity Does Not Cause Depression — Discrimination Does

There has never been a better number one. For as much there's internal mechanisms contributing to your depression, the hostility you face by trying to simply exist in the world will result in very understandable behaviors.
