Apparently this needs to be said...

There’s nothing wrong with non-passing trans women. We aren’t hurting the community.

I saw a thread yesterday with SOME of us (you know who you are) insisting that women who don’t pass are “reinforcing negative stereotypes” about trans people. Screw that. I deserve to exist just as much as anyone who passes. I’m just as trans as anyone who passes.

We don’t need non-passing trans people to turn invisible. We need non-passing trans people to be accepted just as much as passing trans people. Passing as a requirement is toxic as hell and we’ve failed if we tolerate it. Yeah I’d choose to pass if I could, but I can’t. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

To those of you who think non-passing trans people are bad: you have your own communities.
