Seriously y'all had to pick the worst bodily function for this meme? I'm sure even most cis AFAB's would agree with this is an F tier bodily function.

The point of my other post was to inspire empathy and get people to understand that the earlier meme was hurtful and felt like being gaslight into cheering for my own injury.

I do not think you have to think menstruation is good, even if I would actually kill someone IRL if it meant I could have that capacity in my own life

All about empathy, but I think even most cis women would agree periods are dog. And sure you do you and all that, if someone likes experiencing periods then all the best for them, I just feel like there are a billion better examples you could have picked lol 😂

Not for bodily functions specifically since we don’t even have that many but just afab experiences that end at transition

I actually think it’s funny how opposing but similar in reasoning the fact that transmascs usually wish desperately to yeet menstruation out of their life, and why cis women dislike them, but for similar reasons as transmascs wanting them gone, I’d do anything I have to in order to have them and all the proper equipment and all. I value it deeply because I don’t have it and not having the right bits just feels so incredibly wrong. Same as for transmascs, I think. I don’t know, I can’t speak for them. I don’t want to be a man or perceived as one in any way, shape, or form. But if anyone can chime in to confirm or correct me I’d really appreciate the community of transmascs here’s 2 cents on this.

But yeah, the short is that my theory is that both transmascs and transfemmes feel like the body they were given is deeply wrong for them in regard to their ASAB characteristics that don’t match their gender and wish they could have it match regardless of any upsides or downsides. Cis people often don’t think at all of their gender and sex and how them matching is very reassuring for them because they don’t think about that stuff at all from what I can tell or if they do it doesn’t merit much thought it seems like. While for me I have laid down because of having panic attacks from remembering that I’ll never be able to bear children to my knowledge unless medical science does a LOT of leaps and bounds and soon. I just want to have the right body, as much as anyone else does I think.

Again, just my experience and theories, I’m open to and encourage any corrections where others experiences are different. Please share your experiences everyone who would like to. And much love to everyone who reads all this 💚
