This is just quick rant before I go to bed. I might go into more detail about this some other day.

Some of you may or may not know it, but I am Bigender. That means, at least in my case, that I identify with two genders (in my case male and female) at once. I use the term Bigender rather than Genderfluid for no particular reason other than it fits better as a microlabel (although I don't mind saying I'm Genderfluid either for simplicity sake).

That means, I am not Cisgender. I fall under the Trans label and while I don't actively use it, as it can be deemed misleading, it's still a crucial part of my identity.

Now, I am also afab, meaning I was born and the doctors looked at me and went "Ah yes, woman". And for someone who labels herself as Bigender, I don't necessarily express myself that way. I dress in a feminine way, I enjoy feminine things and even my room is mostly pink. I don't experience major body dysphoria either.

Does that make me any less trans though?

I don't understand the internet. I truly don't. One trend I have noticed is acceptance of afab trans people but complete rejection of amab trans people.

And sure, I love the fact that Afab trans people are mostly accepted as whatever they identify as, no matter how much or how little they pass. You don't need a beard, moustache and hairy toes in order to be male, and I support that! Men can still wear make up and wear dresses without that affecting their identify.

So why is it that when amab people don't look like cis women, all hell breaks lose?

Trans women have always been the main target in transphobia discussions. Many anti-transgender activists have targeted them, accusing them of being predators, groomers, and worse. Why? Because to them, they are nothing but "men dressing up as women", no matter how much they pass.

Keep in mind, trans women/transfems have been targeted no matter how they look. I have seen women on the internet who I would've never guessed are trans coming out or people passing as a cis person perfectly fine, yet still experience harassment. So how do you imagine it to go for trans women and transfems (Or trans amab's in general) who don't pass at all?

There are many different reasons why a person might not want to transition. Some trans people don't experience dysphoria, some people only experience it in a very small portion. Some people simply cannot afford to transition because of economic status or for social reasons. There are many, many more reasons I could give, but again, this is just something quick and I didn't put much thought into writing this at all.

So why is it that we are so quick to call out amab trans folk for simply existing the way they choose to for reasons that aren't any of our business? Why is there so much transphobia within the damned LGBT community? I don't get it.

Of course I am not denying that afab trans folk struggle as well, but right now I am simply focusing on this whole talk about amab enbies and how they're invalid with only hypocritical arguments provided. Idk I'm going to bed now.
