Is Culture Okay?

Before starting the article, I am mentioning the cultures I am specifically in, nothing else.

I am (really soon) 22. I’ve been transgender for, give or take, a good 7 years. That being said, it’s not the only identity I hold, or even the one that I want to reflect mostly. I was always liked being seen as the “smart” person in the room.

Unfortunately, I don’t get the choose. Imagine identities are operators with infixl and infixr values. Every person their infix values for every identity out there, and will treat you from their perspective.

My solution? Hiding the fact that I am trans from the people. I pass for a good 2 years, and people really don’t know I am trans unless I say so. And when I tell them for a reason or another, they usually get weird about it (I am talking about random people, not my friends or coworkers etc.)

For the last 2 years of my life, majority of the problems (I had in the public) I had were also because I was a woman, before than being a transgender (as identity). Except legal issue of course, I am not even going to open that topic in the first place (and some private life stuff this that).

Queer community, believe it or not, is not full of accepting good minded individuals. It’s basically a tree with A LOT of branches, and they will not like you, and see you as a ’traitor’ (in their book, communism this that and bunch of other stuff lol).

It’s especially a problem in genderqueer & transgender communities. People love to play the opression olypmics. God forbid if you have a job and something going on for you when you’re 20. You’re a capitalist pig, class traitor, and my favorite, “living for cis validation”. This is also relevant when you don’t have same fetishes (furry, pet play this that) and usage of hard drugs. They really will look into your eyes and think you actively want to conform to some sort of cis supremacist society.

I don’t have any hopes from queer community for the longest time, and it’s just time consuming for a really negative environment. I started to invest my time in my personal relationships with people, my career and my learning. It’s much more fun, but socializing always is a problem. That being said, at this stage, I really would rather not to with the state of the communities that I’ve mentioned.

I started microblogging on twitter. It’s not really any better, half of the people are completely out of the reality of the material world they’re living. It’s also generally filled with assholes that have huge egos that will think they’re the second coming of the christ because theyre using a different programming language, having an okay career this and that. Seriously people, don’t give them any attention. Attention is all they need.

So, no

Culture is not okay

What is there to be done?

Not sure, maybe spreading the word

y’all need to behave
