Transgender
Not all Transgenders are the Same
The grouping of a large Transgender category has really screwed the view.
So the hardest thing to rationalize is that being transgender to each person is not the same. Everyone has their own experience, their own point of origin, their own version of how they see themselves as Transgender. The thing is with everything that is going on in the world today, I don’t think people truly understand that there are actually different levels of being transgender, or better-put subclasses of what it means to be transgender. Within the term “Transgender”, there appears to be a census that everyone is the same, or at the same point in their life, and often or not this is as far from the truth that you can get.
I believe that literally everyone can fall into the classification of being transgender at the mere thought of it or claiming it, however, there are some distinctions between those who claim it and those who go above and beyond to transition to the opposite gender/sex. I feel like there really needs to be some defining lines of understanding because we are all not the same.
I would like to attempt to go into all the different subclasses of what is grouped into being transgender and perhaps identify the different levels or progression of transition. So please bear with me as I create subclassed group titles for all of those within the transgender community.
Pretenders
“Pretenders” are the people who are claiming to be women for the most part who have NO intentions of ever being a woman, falsely using the women restroom or woman public spaces to shame all of the transgender community. They may half ass throw enough female clothing on to act like they’re claiming to be a woman, but it is this group of people that are causing the most harm to all trans people. They are only dressing in female clothing to attempt to prove a point on how bad transgender community is. But in reality they were never transgender in any form but were only doing so to draw attention to our community in a hateful way, possibly even committing a crime to drive the violence against all trans people.
