Honestly the whole "prime directive" thing kinda pisses me off. I wish someone had leveled with me when I started wondering "Why do I always crush on lesbians? Why do lesbians in media make me feel funny? Why do I feel so indignant when I'm shut out of women's spaces because I'm a guy?" in college. I had like one person I told and they were like "eh that kinda sounds transy" and it was left at that.
Also imagine that concept being used in the context of any other condition: "Damn that stuff they're complaining about sounds exactly like my sleep apnea symptoms. Ah well, not my place! They can suffer for a few more years until they figure it out."
the fun thing about calling it the "prime directive" is that they routinely went against that shit all the time in star trek. it practically existed to be defied!
personally i say fuck it, if something pings my radar i'm just like "oh have you considered that you might be trans?"
I'm absolutely with you on that. I'll never say it outright like "Hey friend, you're trans" but I've had the conversation multiple times where I've said something along the lines of "Hey that was a super not-cis thing to say/do, do we maybe wanna unpack that?"
The prime dirEGGtive was meant to be broken, but it should be broken tactfully.
basically "be gentle, but No Trans Left Behind"
