I think trans people should get thrown transition showers like brides and pregnant people get. All your friends come over to celebrate this big moment in your life, gift you things to start living your true gender, and just have a big party. Can we make that a thing?

The idea is cool. BUT (warning opinion) I feel like that makes being trans something of a "better state" then being cis or something else. I felt this very strongly when I first heard about the whole LGBTQ+ thingy and thought that people are just celebrating themselves for being special little snowflakes. By now, I know that this is not true, but I always felt it to be a bit demeaning, that all of a sudden everyone -but- cis hetero people got celebrated for some reason. By now I've turned out to be trans, but I still think this way. I specifically find it a bit demeaning, that we got all these funky coloured sexuality flags, but the hetero one is just -black and white-. Like, the most boring thing ever.

Edit:

Wow I must really sound like some weirdo defending her opinion on some black and white stripes. Most controversial opinion to date!

LGBTQ+ pride typically means "the rejection of shame" not "accomplishment"

but also transitioning seems to me (a queer cis dude) to require a whole hell of a lot of effort, so it's kinda both I suppose.

anyways, the cishets don't need your defense, save your energy
