No, there is no universal trans experience. Yes, there will always be trans dudes who have it easier than you, or were lucky enough to get their gender affirming care younger or cheaper or easier than you. They're still trans. The second we stop fighting with each other about which of us are valid is the second we can start fighting the real enemy; those motherfuckers teaching crabs how to read.
Kirk comforting the evil version of himself is so weird and so sweet, and honestly let’s all try to be that gentle with ourselves.

Just bc I liked WAY TOO MUCH Star Trek TOS fanart content related...
so people who do this may see it.
Something I've noticed growing more common in my life recently has been people using exclusively "they" when referring to binary trans people who don't use "they"
Using "they" when referring to someone when you don't know is seen as "better" in a lot of spaces now, which I can agree with as you don't know what their actual pronouns are. The problem I've noticed is that when meeting a trans person, a lot of people seem to default to "they" even after being told what pronouns they actually prefer. This can be for a lot of reasons, but the most common ones I hear are "I didn't want to assume" and "its not misgendering, they is neutral!"
Person A meets person B, a trans woman. A doesn't know B's pronouns and so refers to B as "they." B corrects A, saying she prefers "she," but A continues to say "they" because its gender neutral. However, A does not do the same to cis women.
The use of exclusively "they" on trans people but not cis people, no matter your excuse, shows that you don't really see them as what they identify as and is quite transphobic since you're literally ignoring their identity and not seeing them as how they want to be seen.
Simple, just ask them their pronouns and then ACTUALLY USE THEM!! If he says he, DONT USE EXCLUSIVELY THEY! If she says she, DONT USE EXCLUSIVELY THEY! If they say they, well. yeah, use they, obviously. If xe say neopronouns and you don't know how to use those, just ask! If any part of someone's identity confuses you, just fucking ask them instead of assuming, for the love of god, and once they tell you, don't ignore what they said.
That's all. Just please stop calling people who don't use "they" by that.
I got this comment and thought I should clarify and add on some MORE things you should avoid doing now that this post has aged a bit, and I've had more time to think!
Please do not attack this person, i dont think they meant it in any bad way
While yes, 'gender' does not directly tell you someones pronouns or what terms they're comfortable with, but misgendering doesn't only mean calling a man a woman or a woman a man. Misgendering is usually thought to only mean using a trans person's assigned sexs' pronouns or deadnaming, but it's actually more than just that, it includes what terms you use for them, how you group them, and what societal expectations you put onto them based on their assigned sex, not just their gender.
* Obviously, these won't apply to every situation. These are just general rules to follow UNTIL YOU KNOW THE PERSON. Once they tell you what they're comfortable with, then do what they ask, not what some random tumblr post says
Calling gender non-conforming people 'it'
Deadnaming, obviously
Using gendered pronouns for a non-conforming person
Arguing with someone over the validity of their identity
Automatically introducing someone as trans
Assuming someone is out to other family or friends
Using incorrectly gendered terms, including when referring to a group
Exclusively using gender neutral terms/compliments
I've been messaging back and forth with @mohammedalanqer after he shared his fundraiser with me, and very quickly into our conversation I offered to draw a comic about him to help boost his gofundme. he was incredibly excited about the idea and shared so many lovely pictures of his family for reference. the text is based off his story of him and his family living under constant bombardment, which you can read here.
he has been able to raise €50,403 out of €58,000, meaning he only has €7,592 left to be able to evacuate. please share this comic as much as possible so that he can reach his goal!
Okay so maybe yall can explain it to me because I’m still new here
So before I watched Star Trek, there seemed to be this ongoing joke about Captain Kirk being a “fatass” like Family Guy, Epic Rap Battles of History and I think even Robot Chicken (don’t quote me on this) made this joke and I don’t get it. Like is Kirk “fat” by 60s standards or does William Shatner just gain weight as the show goes on because you know, he’s fucking human ?
Like I even saw a Reddit post from 2 years ago trying to claim Kirk is “chubby” and “wearing a girdle” and using these photos as reference and he looks like a regular fucking dude so I’m confused. Like he’s not fat and even if he was that’s not a bad thing at all so I don’t get why certain fans have been assholes about this for so fucking long. Like he’s fine. He looks like he’s average weight. And then there’s claims his shirts just make him “look fat” like the green shirt, when he literally looks the same.
I don’t know maybe I’m crazy but Kirk looks absolutely fine and even if he was “fat” that shouldn’t be something to riff on, especially now in 2025 but people still do it.
