So true.
Sometimes I feel the same about “trans vulnerability". We are so often painted to be fragile, overly sensitive, and easily offended. Often times I feel that it's hard to express discomfort without fear of repercussion that it will be associated with my trans identity when it should really be about my dignity as a fellow human being.
I wonder if maybe because I'm a transman, expressing vulnerability or discomfort can sometimes be even harder than expressing anger or dissatisfaction. It's probably just different sides of the same coin.
