  • i agree that the categorisation seems wron and harmfull, but i also think it is a mistake to reduce transness to ones body producing the wrong (amounts of) hormones. many trans people do not even care about their hormones. many care about other things related to gender and their bodies as well. i think it is a social and personal phenomenon, than can include or cause people wanting changes to their bodies, like their endocrine systems. the endocrine systems part therefore imo fall under a category such as “wanting/needing to change ones body (for social or personal reasons)”, while being transgender should imo be classified as a social/identity thing, the same as cis gender. thats my thoughts on it :3




  • i think labels are stupit! makes people put me in a category and assume things and try to police me.

    i’m me, just me, just a creature existing. need no labels.

    i know what labels i dislike though and how i definitely do not want to be seen. telling people “nope, not a man! don’t call me that! don’t think of me like that!” is a very usefull use of labels imo :3

    not to bash u, if u have a label u like. can help when u are struggling with feeling invalid for who u are

    you might be interested in tubular or freetube. they are youtube clients for android and pc respectively, that don’t show ads and have sponsor block (a system to automatically skip sponsor segments) build in.

    both lack features that youtube has and tubular does not even support youtube accounts, so no commenting, and subscriptions and views are handled locally, BUT they let u watch youtube without ads (or account (yes, its also an upside!))

    on that note, whenever i move away from a corpo social media platform or its propriatary clients, its jarring at first, because i lose so many features, but with time i come to realise that i am better off without and would not want to go back
