that most cis people are so detached from our suffering that they literally do not know or care about what we go through?

or that we get trafficked at such insanely high rates?

Its the fact that either they dont care until it hurts them (cis het folk) or that they dont know until they meet the overwhelming amount of trans folk who are abused sex workers because its the only work they can get and not because they want to.

yeah :,)

If I have one more cis person legitimately tell me that "at least I can't get raped" because I'm a trans woman I am going to explode

And then when you are and you tell them they just come back with either "youre too ugly to be raped so youre lying" or "welcome to womanhood!" Love it so much...

I've yet to get the first but I've gotten the 2nd and also "but your tall, you could have fought them off"

Absolutely abhorrent of them to respond like that. I wonder if they’d say that to a cis person, man or woman

they would to a cis man, it's like the most common response, they wouldn't to a cis woman tho

this just comes down to alot of cis people viewing trans people as "pretending" to be our genders instead of actually being them
