Dear Cissexism,

Yep. Pretty much.

livelaughawesome:

could you imagine if people complained about how many names existed

as much as they complained about how many pronouns existed?

“YOU MEAN YOUR NAME IS SARA? WITHOUT AN H? OH MY GOD WHY CAN’T YOU JUST BE NORMAL AND USE JILL OR JOHN”

Although, now that I think about it, people say that, too. They criticize people who have names like Jaykub or Juleighanne, and most recently, I’ve heard a lot of people making fun of trans*people named things like Jayden/Aiden/Caden/etc.

Remember everyone.

Making fun of/criticizing people for their names is just as uncool as making fun of or criticizing their gender.

    Wow. I was basically the epitome of any non-trans* privilege when I made that post. I’m really sorry.
