Dear Cis People:
Trans* individuals who have trouble getting hired for jobs are not just lazy. Discrimination happens more than you think.

Dear Cis People:
You win. I’m done.
Admin’s note:
To the person who wrote this, please send me a message. I’m here if you need (or even just want) to talk.
Dear Cis People:
I hate the way you make me feel. Every single one of you can be my death. Your fear can become my arrest record with a single call. Walking amongst you is an exercise of constant fear and dread. I can’t take much more of this.
Dear Cis People:
Transgender women are women. When you have an event for “all the girls” and decide that I’ll make you uncomfortable, it makes me want to just stop existing. I’m getting closer every day and I’d appreciate just a little help staying alive.
Dear Cis People:
When do I get to ask you the ridiculous questions you ask me? And no, you can’t be offended. Because it’s your own fault for being cis.
This is something a lot of people don’t realize - the impact of the wrong pronouns. Trans folk have to deal with this every day.

Dear Cis People:
Don’t try to talk me out of transitioning because you fear it will make me ‘ugly’. I’m not transitioning to be an ornament. I’m transitioning to feel comfortable in my own skin.
Dear Cis People:
Trans women going to the bathroom in the men’s room will cause more women to be raped then allowing trans women to use the bathroom they deserve and are supposed to use.
Dear Cis People:
Feminism is for me too. Feminism is fighting for my rights as well as yours. Any thoughts to the contrary is just showing your ignorance.

About
Read the rules before submitting please!
'Dear Cis People' is a place for trans people to send an anonymous message to the cis population as a whole. It is meant to be a means of opening a communication line from people who are often silenced, either inadvertently or otherwise. Submit whatever you want, but while honest anger will come through, a small amount of discretion for certain things has been given to the admin. Control has been handed over to Amy, a trans* woman/EMT/Med student. All messages are anonymous.
"Because everyone needs a safe space to vent." - Mecca Smith
Rules:
I can only do so much. I am my own editor. Posts go up when they go up, I try to update several times a day.
If I screw something up, if something goes up that violates these rules, or if these rules need to be edited, send me a message. I'll try and be as accommodating as I can without invalidating other's anger.
I can appreciate that there are a lot of questions about where you fit, what the Trans* community thinks is appropriate, etc. Please ask your questions at the Ask a Trans* Woman link below. This is a space for venting. Thanks for understanding!
I will not censor any content. This is a place to vent. This has restrictions, however: racism will not get posted. Apologizing for anger and invalidating others will not be posted. Throwing your brothers, sisters, and other siblings under the bus will not be posted.
Names won't be posted. Every post will be anonymous.
The format of Dear Cis People is somewhat limited. To limit characters to what I can reasonably post without messing up the format too much, it is ask only, please do not spread messages across two asks.
I will not post death threats or threats of inflicting pain/torture.
I will not post rape threats.
This is about trans* issues. If your post is about non-trans* stuff I'm not going to post it.
