pure:
trans people who choose or simply desire to socially, legally, and/or medically transition in any way face the brunt of structural oppression that trans people shoulder on all levels of society. in terms of access to medicine, housing, health care, employment, and every institution that is necessary for survival. they have needs that are constantly under attack via barriers in state & national legislature and denied to them based on a lack of economic security that generally afflicts trans people, not to mention the unwillingness that said institutions have towards ensuring trans people can function with utmost health and wellness. it’s jus #fax only. transness accounts for a beautiful array of existences that all deserve to be free of forced normativity, but not everyone experiences the same kind of strife because of it. our differences cannot and should not be collapsed to present some mythical, utopian sameness and we need to address our different issues with care, practicality, and consideration. any trans politics that neglects this cannot be geared toward liberation.
