Hate, a strong and powerful word we sometimes use too often about this or that. This blog is a very serious blog for me to write because I have "hated" on myself and others for so long in my life that I now am trying to see past the hate and see how people are feeling about things. There are two people I cannot look past their hate because they are outrageously pronounced in the community with hate against FTM's and yes I am talking about Dirtywhiteboi67 aka dirt, and 7blunts7. They made their opinion clear that they do not like us, making our videos or posting our blogs, because to them this is a fad/ to us this is our lives. I personally look at dirt's blog every couple of months to see if I was put on there because I write a blog, and have a vlog that I do. 7 blunts 7 thinks that transitioning is becoming a fad and that people are doing it to "look cool". I made it perfectly clear when they came out with their video their opinion is their's but I am not a fad chaser and I do not believe that anyone would transition for a fad with all the therapy, and hormones and surgeries.
The next thing on this I want to talk about is FTM rooms on facebook. There are genderqueer/nongender people who are more masculine that have been kicked out of these rooms because they do not identify as male on their personal facebook because of one reason or another. You tossing people out of the rooms is showing hate, trans* is an umbrella of people not just ftm or mtf.
Body Shaming.... I do it constantly to myself and I found that I have to get myself how I want to see myself, and stop blaming this or that for the way I look and telling myself I am who I am and I will fix what I do not like but I will accept myself as I am until I am the way I want.
Chick Fil A- now come on that is just ridiculous that this even has to be said why show support to a company that will not hire an FTM, (they refused to hire me when they ask what I wished to be called and I said Jaxx instead of my real name and they asked why and I was honest.).
Stigmas/ Stereotypes.... Why do stereotypes even still exist???? Ugh, I have heard that oh trans* men are all the same they only care about how they "pass" and how big their "bulge" is. I care if I am perceived as male because I am misgendered a lot living in Kentucky being pre-hormones and pre-surgery and even after I correct them they refuse to use my correct pronouns. And to clear up a rumor if you start T and take your prescribed dose, and get your levels checked you have less of a chance of experiencing roid rage.
Partners can label their selves the way they want, my wife is genderqueer but when it comes to pronouns she prefers female, and is queer when asked about sexuality. I learned that not every couple that is male and female has to be labeled straight.
I hope this sinks in to some people that it is ridiculous that we are hating on others when we should be trying to support each other for what ever differences we may have from each other.
