Reposting a classic. First your internal experience of discovering your gender has been going on a lot longer than anyone else has been able to see it so that is going to contribute to people around you feeling that you are potentially moving too fast. But second, and most importantly, cis people don't get to decide what trans people need. When you know what care you need then you should be able to access it. Unfortunately many trans people are stuck in a system of gatekeeping that makes us slow down for their comfort. [Image description: a white box within a pink box that says "If you immediately bought glasses after you had an eye test would people way you were 'moving too fast?' Trans healthcare comes with the expectation that you will not and should not access what you need immediately. This is based on an external cis perspective of need that does not exist for most other types of care."] #transgender #trans #nonbinary #transwoman #transman #queer #lgbtq #genderqueer #transhealth #queerhealth #gender #genderfluid #enby #theythem #shethey #hethey #demiboy #demigirl #transgenderpride #bigender #gendereuphoria #genderdysphoria #transmasculine #transfeminine #transvisibility #transisbeautiful
