Entering the bathroom becomes a mini game where you have to facts-and-logic your way past the AI bouncer before you piss yourself

The transvertion window? The overton window was named after a guy so maybe this one should be named after someone too but I'm not naming it after myself, there's no way I thought of this first I haven't had an original thought in my life!

I am, of course, talking about DYING YOUR HAIR PINK. ADA YOU COWARD, DYE YOUR HAIR BRIGHT PINK. LOOK LIKE A GOD DAMN ANIME CHARACTER AND JUST DO IT, YOU KNOW YOU WANNA. YOU JUST DON'T THINK YOU PASS WELL ENOUGH TO--

You're over half a decade into transition and there's still things you're not sure about, still things that you don't want to do or can't bring yourself to do because you're afraid that once you do it you'll stick out like a sore thumb and you don't pass well enough to stick out!

Skills like voice training and makeup work in reverse. The longer you go the harder it seems to do and why didn't you just do this sooner you had three years before even starting HRT, Ada, what the fuck were you doing with that tim--

Anyway.

Then there's the big one.

Same thing happens with surgery to a degree. You don't necessarily wanna be thinking about what surgery you want day 1, but by day 1000 you might be booking consultations with surgeons.

When you're in early transition, there are things you might want to do but you don't yet. You say to yourself that you can't wear a dress, you don't look feminine enough! And then it becomes you can't wear a dress in public and eventually you just become comfortable wearing a dress.

Why do so many people think that trans women sharing the knowledge we've accumulated about HRT is seen as some insidious plan to cut trans men out?

And bangs, round glasses and bangs

When I found a discord message I wrote from 2017 that read "they should keep people in their basement" I cackled

Honestly, I think there are probably some people who supported the initial ruling and EHRC guidance who could be swayed into opposition by pointing out that (on numbers alone) more cis women will be harassed as a result of this than there are trans people in the country.

The moment segregation like this becomes law, you grant every member of society the chance to be a gender cop and some people will happily take on that role and bully every butch woman they see.
