Being Trans Affects Everything
It’s not a lifestyle (and I hate that conservaterm). When you swallow those hormones or take those first shots of testosterone or estrogen, it causes seismic shifts in your life that mere cis people can’t begin to comprehend. But if we’re going to gain trans human rights coverage and make transphobia as unpalatable as racism, homophobia or sexism are, we’re going to have to do our best to make them understand. The day I swallowed my first hormone I no longer had access to male privilege contrary to the ignorant lie the white privileged TERF’s try to pimp. Once my body morphed into the feminine form I will have for the rest of my life, I not only had to get used to navigating the world in it, I had to get used to becoming a moving target for sexual assault, sexism, and all the other not so fun crap

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“Being Trans Affects Everything” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to race and intersectionality, while also engaging feminism and gender politics. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
As a publication record from 2013 at Transadvocate.com, “Being Trans Affects Everything” provides dated evidence of how race and intersectionality was being argued in relation to feminism and gender politics. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.
Policy significance
No dominant policy frame was detected in “Being Trans Affects Everything.” Its policy relevance, when present, is therefore likely indirect: the article’s treatment of race and intersectionality may shape later arguments about institutions or public practice rather than proposing a specific rule.
