Let me first start off by saying, that it is no small undertaking ‘becoming an activist’ & also that that undertaking will never look the same for everyone. But I often find myself frustrated by people who say they care about social issues, but don’t really show their support. I understand that it can be daunting, but here are some of the steps I took to start my activism, hopefully this can help you start/further yours.
As with many people, i have come to adopt the word ‘same’ into my vernacular.
I went on estrogen almost four months ago. I don’t really pay attention to it much –I had to check to see if that was even right. As someone who is on HRT I think there is a serious gap in the discussion.
I am a nonbinary trans woman. Within the first year of being out as transgender I was constantly plagued with people asking “When are you going to go on hormones?”, a question which has & still does annoy me to this day.
The dialogue that every trans person must, or should, inherently want to seek medicalized transition, is a deeply flawed & even toxic viewpoint to hold.
