I feel like some trans men are brainwashed by feminine beauty standards and it's preventing them from being happy.
How do I know? I had that moment too where I was both dysphoric but also felt like I would be undesirable if I transitioned.
@ScarabajaMiyama a lo mejor piensas eso precisamente pq no eres un tío y tienes tu propia disforia para ese lado, mi cara está toda chudificada por el estrógeno lol (nose si molesta que responda si soy un random me apareciste en la tl)
why would I not want to be born with my preferred genitalia and reproductive system, have my body produce my hormones naturally instead of having to take them externally, be able to live my childhood, adolescence and young adult years as a girl
People with relatively low dysphoria who that can be managed without surgery act like every other trans person is just like them and that having severe dysphoria that can’t be treated with strap ons or makeup is a failing on our part
criticise it all you want (and i fucking do!) but the 4tran attitude of 'here's how to get on hrt, it's safe, it's cheap, stop making excuses' is far more important than the pontificating about 'you don't need to transition to be trans' that other spaces love.
excluding the body horror of never being able to recognize my voice or reflection what’s entirely destroyed me as a person is knowing my most important years were irreversibly taken from me and there’s nothing i can do to bring back the life that was stolen from me
it must be awesome to be able to stop being trans when it’s convenient for you. meanwhile i walk into the interview and there’s a decent chance i’ve already been clocked and instantly denied the opportunity due to that
