We all know transgender people are their intragender, transrace people are really their intrarace, and transage folks are really their intra-age. But where does that leave transautistics and transabled folks? (I have a friend that believes transautistics are just regular autistics and should embrace being autistic.) It seems like there’s a disconnect here and I haven’t seen anyone mention it. I also heard someone on pedi describe transopinion as: “you like the idea in theory and you wish you could believe it or feel like you should but you just. cant.” This seems squarely in the “want” camp.
What do you think?
This opens up the interesting possibility of being trans-trans-something. There’s no obvious reason you couldn’t feel that sort of connection to being transgender or transage without actually being those things.
Yes absolutely, this concept has been mentioned before in the official TransID.org Discord Server!
