🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ To the hundred or so transphobes in the comments saying, "You don’t pass." Cool, I’m not auditioning. I’m a woman, whether or not your gaze grants permission. ‘Passing’ is your hobby, not my obligation. You’ve confused a beauty contest with a bill of rights, eyesight with entitlement, vibes with governance. Let’s translate what you’re really saying: you’ve trained yourself to body-police strangers and you want that fixation to have legal force. You call it “truth,” but it’s just surveillance with a smug smile. Even if your guesses were right sometimes, accuracy doesn’t turn harassment into ethics. Your opinion of my face isn’t public policy. And about that ‘always tell’, you don’t. You misgender sis women, intersex people, nonbinary folks, trans men, and anyone who dents your template. The collateral damage isn’t a glitch; it’s how gatekeeping works. You don’t protect women; you punish nonconformity and call it concern. I’m not here to satisfy your eyesight. I’m here to live. My existence isn’t a riddle for you to solve, and my rights aren’t contingent on whether you think my jawline meets your subreddit’s ruler test. Your gaze is not a border checkpoint. Your bias is not a sixth sense. Your discomfort is not a law. So no, I won’t shrink. I won’t debate my humanity with people performing phrenology in 4K. Touch grass. Read a book. And if your politics require humiliating strangers in public to feel “right,” your politics are wrong.
