TransForkLift.

Definition: 1) when you are literally a fork lift (for alterhuman, transobject, transcharacter, etc. reasons). 2) A stance about rejecting modernity to become a machine. 3) a metaphorical transtrauma term where being a fork lift is an allegory for how much you feel used by others and/or how you feel your self-worth is directly tied to how useful you are.

Inspired by the fork lift answers on this transID survey (I do not intend to mock this person in case it’s not a copypasta, just felt inspired by them idk).

Quotes from the survey answers (to give more context to what I mean):

“Yes, I identify as a FC 5700 4-Wheel Sit-Down Counterbalance Forklift. I just make efforts to be a forklift. Do you think we move pallets for free? Hell nah son.” “I need to master the art of moving pallets. That’s the last step for me to be a full, authentic FC 5700 4-Wheel Sit-Down Counterbalance Forklift.” “In order to be a forklift, one of the first steps is to reject my born, genetically coded race.” “All I can say is that reject humanity, accept forkliftery.”
