I just had a
flashback to myself at a really young age looking in a mirror, the first
time it felt like it wasn't me looking back. I felt a weird sense of
vertigo, completely disjointed from myself, like I was falling down a
chasm yet standing in place at the same time, I got sick and had to
throw up, then I cried.
After this I decided to grow my hair out
again, for about the third time in my life, but I ended up cutting it
all off again when it reached about shoulder length because people were
starting to look at me funny again.

That's
a lot of maybes. It's interesting to think about, but there's just as
much evidence against all those points. I definitely see gender as more
of a sliding scale, with very few people actually falling in the extreme
ends, but people are often pushed there anyway because of gender roles.
I usually prefer male online personas, it just saves me from a lot of
drama and frankly idgaf what gender people think I am online, I think
many women masquerade as male online just to avoid the whole "omg a
women on the internets" shitstorm. Also extreme masculinity or
femininity doesn't make one male or female so I'm inclined to disagree
with that as well see >>937905
>They
transition because they are not comfortable seeing a body that doesn't
match their concept of self on a very basic level, and because they want
people to better relate to them as they understand themselves.
>I know a lot of trans people. The spectrum of
masculinity and femininity is just as diverse as it is with everyone
else
I know I have masculine sides to my personality and
am quite fond of them, yet I'm still planning on getting my genitals
mutilated, so to speak.
Transgender also covers an area way
larger than MtF and FtM trans people. A lot of people identify as
androgyne, neither explicitly man or woman, and some people prefer to
see themselves as something else entirely. |
