its so fucking tragic how so many older truscum push rhetoric about how being trans is horrible and miserable and you should wish you were cis because youre mentally ill and doomed to a subpar existence. and then so many young trans teens are exposed to this and internalize and believe it when they’re at the most difficult point and in desperate need of being taught optimism and hope and self-love. any truscum who’s 21 or older should feel ashamed for teaching trans kids to hate themselves more.
