1. Desconfianza generalizada hacia las personas cisgénero y supuestos aliados.
Muchos testimonios expresan una profunda dificultad para confiar en personas cisgénero, incluso en aquellas que se identifican como aliadas, debido a experiencias previas de incomprensión, rechazo o apoyo condicional.
- At this point, i dont trust anybody. The best thing you do is assuming everyone is transphobic until proven otherwise.
- This shit is fucked, this is why i genuinely will never 100 trust a cis person they will turn on you the moment it becomes advantageous to do so.
- Unless demonstrated to be opposite, i do not trust majority of cis people to be allies. They absolutely love to use slurs, go off the deep end like libs and blue maga shit and just love to talk over and step on us trans folks.
- So many people are obsessed with the ascetics of being pro trans, pro gay, but when asked to do the barest of bare minimum they recoil and lash out, and its why i can never really trust cis people to have my back.
2. Escepticismo ante los medios de comunicación y la cobertura periodística.
Existe un fuerte rechazo hacia los principales medios de comunicación, acusándolos de promover narrativas antitrans y de romper activamente la confianza de los lectores y de la comunidad mediante coberturas sesgadas.
- Trans ppl shouldnt trust cis people, especially those in the media, bc time and again they have proven themselves untrustworthy! Trans people were not born suspicious, we learned it by experience!
- Never trust cis people journalists, documentarists or researchers. I wish things were different, honestly.
- For the record, im not trans i dont trust .com any trust editors not because of the lack of robust advocacy journalism on trans issues but because nyts coverage of trans issuestrans community is at best willful misapprehension, and at worst, hostile, dishonest, and lying.
- The news industry being as institutionally hostile, exclusionary, and harmful to trans people of course is going to result in eroding trust that trans readers might extend to cis journalists.
3. La erosión de la confianza en el sistema médico y de salud.
La relación con los profesionales de la salud está marcada por el recelo. Muchas personas trans prefieren recurrir a la automedicación o a la sabiduría comunitaria antes que confiar en médicos o clínicas que perciben como negligentes o tránsfobos.
- I trust a random trans person whos tried something on themselves and can show me how it worked more than i trust any licensed endocrinologist.
- As a former naive early transition girly i fully agree i try to spread information wherever i can because so often are people failed by medical professionals in regards to treatment of trans people, its crazy. Normally i trust experts but doctors dont know shit about helping us usually.
- Why sre you staying underground for your hrt? Because hippa is dead and i trust someone distilling e and eventually prog in their bathtub before i trust the medical industry.
- Just sent a complaints email in. Im so done with this shit if theres one place you can trust will fuck up the handling of a trans patient, its the departments dedicated to trans healthcare, apparently.
4. Desilusión con la política, los gobiernos y las instituciones públicas.
Los partidos políticos y las instituciones gubernamentales son vistos con sospecha, señalando que los derechos trans suelen ser utilizados como moneda de cambio electoral o sacrificados ante presiones conservadoras.
- I will never again trust a politician or political party when it comes to trans rights, support or care. They have all shown theyll throw us under the bus when its politically expedient to do so.
- Your trust in the higher institutions of a country that started eradicating trans people out of public life and recently sentenced a trans woman for giving a blowjob, because she didnt explicitly say she was trans. Amusing.
- Liberals will claim to support you as a queer or trans person. But the moment you slightly disagree with them or you go further left, they will backstab you and leave you in the dust and then turn around and say it serves you right for not voting kamala. Trust me. Ive had it happen.
5. La confianza intracomunitaria y la búsqueda de espacios seguros.
Ante la hostilidad externa, la comunidad trans busca refugio en la confianza mutua y en redes de apoyo autogestionadas, aunque también se reconocen las complejidades y tensiones internas dentro del propio colectivo.
- In an ever hostile world cis people of all stripes continue to prove the only people trans people can trust at all are other trans people, and that trust only goes as far as our refusal to be good ones and throw our siblings under the bus for cis approval.
- To say nothing of how dangerous it is to assume that every trans person ever is your sibling and someone who you can trust to be safe around by default simply because theyre also trans, as though there arent so many trans people out there who prey on this exact notion to exploit other trans people.
- Choosing a trans woman means choosing honesty. She lives her truth, and that builds real trust. Spaces grounded in authenticity are attracting real connections.
