If anyone wonders why I write long-form essays on a blurb app, sorry, my social media experience is almost exclusively reddit.
The worst bit of interviews for me? The post interview anxiety.

The more I post on here, the more intensely confident I become that I do *not* want to be internet famous.
I give myself empathetic embarrassment that comes with undesired anonymity in community as is. I don't need that turned up to 11.

Can someone explain "what do you mean 'we'" to me? Specifically coming from yt USians. I'm seeing a lot of, "I didn't vote for the hair piece" and fail to see how those are related.
Even as I'm denied a passport, I'm still (theoretically) a citizen.

The last sentence is tongue-in-cheek, btw. Most of the people I interact with here feel very enby and/or "you do you, boo." I'm just very wary of statements that unwittingly align with transmeds via oversimplification/generalization.
Also, I don't know Devon's work and read charitably by default.

Also, as I should have said at the start:
Wtf does T strictly have to do with manhood, or E with womanhood?
I get needing store-bought to function, to feel/be yourself, but do people in the trans community not get T ≠ man and E ≠ woman?
Am I surrounded by transmedicalists?

In the end, I don't understand equating manhood with masculinity. I don't understand equating womanhood with femininity. But I'm a tomboy lesbian with a sparklegoth wife and a strong liking for gender nonconformity. What do I know?

It's interesting to me how I can look back at an old video of myself pre-transition and run into exactly the same thing I did then: I don't recognize the person I see. I never have. My wife says the same.
But the post pictures, even very early on, I do. It's a strange juxtaposition.

As someone who hated testosterone, I see too often how people demonize it when all it is is that it just wasn't right for you. I know countless trans men and trans mascs that it has helped, just as estradiol has helped me.
I hated being a man. That doesn't mean being one is inherently evil.

I guess I don't follow because I don't know how to separate "masculinity" from its patriarchal definition: a position of power maintained by adherence to gendered roles, wherein femininity is a position disempowered except in its assistance/subservience to said power. /1
This. OMG, this.
Manhood and testosterone were an unending nightmare *for me*, but watching my transmasc friends blossom into the fullness of their manhood made me believe in the beauty of masculinity for the first time in my life.
Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to read The Will to Change.
