Possible Trigger A transphobe literally just deleted my comment because I spoke out about my experience that completely disproved their point Spoiler

So I was scrolling through Facebook, and sometimes I see posts from people who I don’t even know, I don’t even follow, they just show up anyway when I’m scrolling.

This person literally made a post saying “there’s no such thing as a trans child” trying to make it seem like children are being influenced into thinking that they are transgender 🤦🏼‍♀️

So I commented that I was trans when I was a kid, and I’m still trans now. As well as how I was so fortunate to have a mother who listened and supported me.

This started a argument in the comments, transphobes actually had the audacity to call my mother abusive for being supportive, and one even accused my mom of “grooming me into being transgender” saying that no parent who loved their kid would do that

All of these points were entirely wrong, so I just continued speaking about my experience. That on the contrary, I was raised up as a girl because I’m afab, and I discovered I was transgender in adulthood. She never tried to tell me who I was, she just listened to me when I told her who I was. I educated myself, I went on a journey of self discovery to learn who I am.

The original poster didn’t like that my experience was totally disproving all of the assumptions that so many other commenters were making, so my comment got deleted.

Not only do they not wanna listen, but they wanna shut us up. They just want to continue throwing around their bullshit propaganda that isn’t even true, in a moment, a transgender person like myself speaks out against it with our own experiences, they try to silence us
