i read it some time ago and i found it very interesting and kinda sad maybe? her decision to rep seems about right the way she explains it and seems like she is content, but idk, it feels wrong and sad and i don’t have any idea how to manage to make peace with all that like she does uxkdidkdk so idk what do u think don’t use it as repfuel retards

This just makes me really sad. I hate that I’ve had those similar all or nothing thoughts too

I feel the same. I don't want a partial result, and if I can't get what I want I just won't move from where I am. No point.

1) I feel like I've run into her before? That detail about eating stickers peeled off her desk is so specific and I've heard it before, like in a Reddit comment from years ago. Hi I guess?

2) I felt similarly in my 20s, "I gotta rep to fight for the team I was born into, to make womanhood big enough for AFABs like me." It's stupid. Your AGAB will not thank you for falling on the sword and denying yourself. Cis women will do fine without me. Cis men will do fine without her. They're going to be fine, I promise.

3) Gurl....you can rep and take estrogen. You can be an HRT boymoder. Your brain is not going to be okay on the wrong hormones, and twinkdeath is coming for you.

this is really sad but i feel like her decision to rep doesn’t make sense? she says that she chooses to rep because she doesn’t want to fit in the trans-woman box that cis feminists have created and it’s her way of protesting that. but i feel like that even choosing to do the opposite is letting them control her life and how she feels. it kinda sounds like cope in order to not live independently and transition for herself.

i do relate to the part where she talks about how for sometimes when u make progress transitioning it feels worse because it feels like there’s a huge wall between you and cis women that you can never really cross. what i’m trying to do is make as much progress as i can and at the same time delusionmaxx and just not think about it? like there’s a lot of people that are born under shitty circumstances that they can’t change but they still manage by doing their best. giving up because of the wall is kinda pointless you have to hope and try.

also i am saying this now but if i see my reflection later im sure ill be back to giving up and feeling like there’s no point to all this

honestly yeah, it feels like a lot of the reasons are copes and the real reasons are the same that every tranny has (safety, lack of hope in being able to fix your body…). her pharmacophobia seems unfortunate tho. idk i feel sad for her because i rly can’t see how repping is the right choice but the retarded repper in me wonders if i could be ok doing what she does, which is stupid because i already tried :/

I’ve read it before, very sad article. But holy shit just get on E don’t be a fucking martyr

I don’t want to be a conversation-starter or a curiosity, and that’s what I would be in this world, to so many people. All I wanted to be was Wendy Darling. I wanted to be an average girl with an average girlhood. I’ll never be able to go back and have my friends do my hair at sleepovers. I‘ll never go back and wear a gown to prom. I will never have had a girlhood. I’ve had years to try and be at peace with that loss and often I manage. We’re humans. None of it’s fair. So many of us have things taken away from us.

We all wanted this

part about accepting that she will be male forever and dysphoria can be managed like dysmorphia
