yeag,,, i am interested to see how the rest of the paper goes especially reading more about what the author terms “massive gender trauma” which is the experience of being misgendered along with dysphoria over a pretransition life
i have cis friends who are cool and normal and literally all of them are from pretransition itd be cool to make one, like , here,, it'd be cool to know that i am still worthy of human interaction that doesnt hinge on my identity
Y'know when I think about it it's funny that back when I was a boy I dated a softball girl & a broomball girl. Hard to get much more lesbian coded unless I had dated a roller derby girl, and let's be real I probably would have if I had met any pretransition 😂
this would be me had i a fursona; friend had me pegged pretransition: "despite his aesthetic, aaron is goth and a sadboi"
LMAOOOOO yeah i have like one maybe two cishet guy friends from pretransition who could make that joke and it would be genuinely funny
this but for every time I've been carded or stopped by police, border control and people have outright refused to believe that's me in my pretransition ID card picture
Yeah but you realize that by doing this you're also going to push away closeted/insecure/pretransition people who might benefit from hearing your perspective? Not to mention, you piss off the tranmom types (me, I'm tranmom) who feel protective of said people
After transition, I go to the gym and workout 6 days a week. Pretransition me wouldn't even use the free fitness room at the apartment complex. I can run a 5k in under 25 minutes, deadlift 2 plates, and I'm in the best shape of my life. (Still can't or won't clean my bedroom though)
