Is yuri still yuri if both girls are planning on backstabbing each other?
it's actually MORE yuri if that's the case
My Hater Post. Sorry
ALSO THIS
people will make jokes all the time about how middle school bullies can somehow zero in on your insecurities and accurately pick them out (ie the "how do mean 14 year olds know which slurs to call you?" tweet). fucking john mulaney even has a bit about it. but the moment you suggest that closeted trans girls don't get treated like cis boys during childhood or that closeted trans boys don't experience cis "girlhood" you get told you're insane
i was placed firmly in the "other" category at a very young age and my female peers made it extremely clear to me that they absolutely didn't see me as one of them. my attempts to conform only resulted in them punishing me more severely. i wasn't seen as a girl or a boy by the other children, i was seen as Wrong.
most trans people of all genders I've known have talked about experiencing a very similar phenomenon
Adults (parents in particular) do this to trans kids too. And then when you come out all these transphobes who already diagnosed you as Gender Wrong start trying to shove you back into your AGAB piñata because they want to keep beating the weirdo outcasts who failed gender at age 10 with sticks forever rather than reckon with the idea that maybe treating gender diverse children like shit is bad.
They'll talk about how much better they thought you were as a boy, how much they miss their daughter. They're lying.
