I'm gonna say that I can actually relate to a ton of this, though yeah, have loads of "internalized transphobia" or however they want to quote it.

I see a lot of validity in the binary (before anyone jumps on my case, I respect non-binary people entirely, my partner is non-binary), and whenever I see trans people who don't put forth an effort to actually be recognized or seen as male/female but yet demand the same respect, it's fucking infuriating and I don't want anything to do with it.

I hate my body, and I wanted to do something about it. I've gone through the ringer for years trying to get my body as male as I possibly can through medical intervention, and now I'm seen as a male 100% - no ifs. It irritates me to see "guys" who still retain a completely feminine appearance outwardly (and not even fem guy, just outright female) and beg and plead to be referred to as a man. Way to taint any sort of validity, I guess. Same with the "men" who bother to get pregnant - that is a concept that I cannot get my head around whatsoever. Probably the most feminine, womanly thing you can partake in, yet you have "dysphoria" and want to be respected as a guy.

Tumblr-esque shit used to get to me, but it's honestly a bunch of teenaged folks who'll grow up and learn from their immaturity, or so we hope. It's just that people like that ruin my own credibility as a trans person, kind of like if my granddad decided to do a search and all the engine could generate were links for tumblr trans** shit and "Pregnant Man" idiosyncrasies.

It's quite frankly a huge shit on the pain myself and other dysphoric persons had and have to deal with on a daily. This is why I hardly associate with any other trans people outside of here.
