UNITED STATES – As they’ve been warning for years, members of the transgender community have begun disappearing into the ether after too many people were allowed to question their gender identity.
“In refusing to affirm my gender identity, you deny my very existence,” said Gabriella Martin, a 33-year-old trans woman from San Francisco, as her body splintered into fragments, which dissolved into thin air. “And so, I cannot exist.
“It’s consensus reality,” she said, “look it up.”
Marissa Click, Professor of Gender Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, said she was not surprised by this development.
“For years, trans people have warned how dangerous it is for others to doubt or question their gender identity,” she said.
“Trans people require everyone else to blindly accept their gender identity and to demonstrate belief in it on a daily basis,” Click explained. “If you don’t believe in them, they can cease to exist,” she said, “like Tinkerbell.
“Every time you fail to use their chosen pronouns, every time you question whether trans women should compete in women’s sports, or whether men can get pregnant, you threaten their existence.”
Click added that in some cases, this lack of faith could make trans people literally disintegrate into nothingness, like in the end of Avengers: Infinity War.
“I don’t feel so good,” said Patrick Perez, 24, (him/they), a trans man from New York, as the lower half of his body faded away. He blamed their fate on those who refused to learn their pronouns.
“My pronouns!” he screamed, as he sublimated. “Why couldn’t you just learn my pronouns?!”
He also blamed those who made “transphobic” jokes and used “trans-exclusionary language.
“Dave Chappelle, J. K. Rowling – this is all on you,” he cursed, vanishing.
Nelson Price, 28, another trans man from New York, said this is why “trans-denying hate speech” – including the use of terms like “men” and “women” and “male” and “female” – needs to be heavily policed.
“Such speech erases trans people,” he said, as he atomized. “Words are violence; I told you, I fucking told you.”
