I feel that "normalizing assault" might paint an inaccurate picture of what the article contains.
I, a trans woman living in the American South, am already living under the sword of damoclese when it comes to the threat of unprovoked physical assault. I personally prefer not to add onto this stress with misconceptions.
Hey Hon, I don't have anything to contribute to this talk, but I see you talking about your fears. So just wanted to give you a lil internet hug and tell you how important, valued and brave you are. I'm sorry it's like this, but for what it's worth, I'll keep you in my thoughts. ♥
Gunna preface this as "knowledge few outside the trans community and even some inside aren't aware of" so please don't feel like you did anything at all wrong because this is DEEP lore and like, we know you're good. This is just my PSA attempt to make future support avoid a potential trigger and be more effective.
Inside the more toxic aspects of the trans fem community "Hon" is a derogatory slur used to refer to non-passing trans women with the implication to belittle or condescend.
I haven't heard Hon used that way since 2006.
Is it still actually a thing?
Only in the cattiest and worst circles does it live on but I know some folk who are still quite sensitive to it.
