1. ¿Qué es la Transfobia Interiorizada?
Se describe como la absorción de prejuicios y narrativas negativas de la sociedad contra las personas trans. Para una persona trans, esto se manifiesta como una voz interna crítica que cuestiona su identidad, validez y derecho a ser, diferenciándose de la transfobia simple que ejerce una persona cisgénero.
- Thanks for sharing. Just fyi, it's only "internalised transphobia" if youre trans. Otherwise it's simply transphobia.
- I have internalized transphobia too! within me, there is a bigoted voice telling me that i'll never be a woman, that i'm just a man in a skirt. But it makes me want to continue my transition so i can kill that transmisic snake!
- There is a lot of internalized transphobia among ourselves. It is self-inflicted wounds.
- Because to me this sounds like internalized transphobia: something the world has told you to believe about trans people (which includes you) and so that feeling gets pointed at urself and it feels like shit.
- Internalized transphobia is a bitch. If it were a person, i would punch it in the face.
2. Orígenes e Impacto en la Vida Personal.
Surge del "ruido de fondo" cultural, una crianza en entornos hostiles y la exposición constante a la intolerancia. Este fenómeno tiene un impacto profundo, causando vergüenza, autodesprecio, retrasando la transición y robando años de vida auténtica a las personas.
- I can see that. I have a lot of internalized transphobia i wrestle with just due to background noise from culture.
- I was closeted for a long time and fairly transphobic — if anything that internalized transphobia held shut my own closet door.
- Messages about trans bodies like the vileness this person spewed at me kept me from being able to consider transitioning for decades. Internalized transphobia robbed me of decades of.me.
- The worst thing about transphobia is that you internalize it and eventually you become numb to it, but, this process takes years and not all of us have the time for that sort of personal development journey.
- Systemic transphobia stole all that time from me. My teenage years. My college years. Grad school. All of it. Gone.
3. El Proceso de Desaprender y Sanar.
Superar la transfobia interiorizada es un viaje continuo y un hito crucial en la transición. Requiere un esfuerzo consciente para desenredar las creencias dañinas implantadas por la sociedad, un proceso que a menudo se describe como una deconstrucción personal que nunca termina del todo.
- And we all start with a giant mess of internalized transphobia. We live in a transphobic world. It sinks in. Goddess knows i am still untangling mine, and my social transition was almost 3 years ago.
- Defeating your internalized transphobia is one of the big transition milestones. Like cracking, coming out etc. But almost ubiquitously much later.
- Unlearning the internalized transphobia i've developed from living in the bible belt my entire life will take a lot of work, but i'm really looking forward to having it excised from me so i don't lowkey hate myself.
- Unpacking internalized transphobia is like deprogramming catholicism. Shit is baked into pretty much everything so it's. A process lol.
- It took me years to internalize this even after i came out. Transition isn't just physical, it's also doing the work to unpack all the transphobia you had to live with until you could be you.
4. La Conexión entre la Lucha Interna y la Externa.
La transfobia interiorizada puede manifestarse externamente, a veces de forma virulenta. Se sugiere que algunos de los peores ataques externos provienen de personas que luchan con sus propios problemas internos. A su vez, el aumento de la transfobia pública actúa como un detonante que agrava la lucha interna de las personas trans.
- You know how some people have so much internalized transphobia that it becomes very much externalized? that.
- It makes so much sense that someone with internalized transphobia would be so outwardly transphobic.
- I've always had a hunch that a lot of the worst transphobes have internalized transphobia. It doesn't make sense to be that against something that doesn't impact you personally, unless it actually secretly impacts you personally.
- Trans folks - if you're suddenly struggling with self-doubt, negative self-talk, poor self-image, strong judgmental feelings toward yourself and/or others, or anything similar.it may be that your internalized transphobia is being triggered by the sheer volume of public transphobia rn.
- Love it when people make their own internalized transphobia everyone else's problem.
