I’m a leftist. And for the most part I don’t care how anyone chooses to identify with, I live by the whole “treat others how you wish to be treated” mantra. However, I technically fit into transmed as I view my own transition as a medical condition. I think there should be some distinction between trans people who medically transition and those who are maybe just fine with social changes. What I don’t understand is when I voice my desire to be seen as cis, I’m told that I need to stop appeasing conservatives. I’m still a big advocate for fighting social injustices but I do so as I would had I been born male. I’m not “ashamed” of being trans, I just wish people would respect that some people don’t like to proclaim it so openly all the time.
