don’t be a dick to trans people

uglygerm:

I’ve been told this, and have seen this said a million times.

For some reason people think if you like an inch of your body there is no way in the world you can ever be transgender of any sort.

I grew up being told I was gross, ugly, and fat, and I hated myself so much it hurt, and a lot of people would tell me that’s the only reason I choosing to be transgender. But when I started to accept my body, all my stretch marks, scars, and rolls, I was told I couldn’t be transgender because I liked myself.

Even when I came to accept my anatomy I still felt just the same as I did when I hated myself. So that’s just something to share with.
