I’ve never really felt fully comfortable being open about myself on big platforms like Reddit, but on here it feels a lot safer, especially since adopting better digital hygiene.
So I’m just kinda saying it explicitly for the first time that I’m a trans girl. I like myself, I like my body, even if it’s not perfect yet, and I like being pretty. I’m even slowly coming out more and more in real life too! Idk, everyone congratulate me or something haha
Things are hard, but I like how accepting the federated side of the internet has been so far to me.
“Fought and bled for some oil executive to have their number to go up”. There, fixed it for you!
I’ve consistently done everything I can to make those that society has left behind or treated poorly have some comfort. Some joy. Some happy memory of someone who was genuinely happy to help them and be fulfilled by it.
At the same time, let’s use your own argument against you. A gender studies degree? So you are aware biology and gender studies exist beyond what you are capable of understanding, and yet still refuse to accept their outcomes?
You fought for this country, showing you believe in awarding recognition based on merit. So if someone takes all the steps and jumps through all the hoops to transition to their ideal gender, shouldn’t the merit of their struggle be awarded?
TLDR: You are wrong. Easily wrong. That’s alright, I used to be wrong, too. It really f***ing sucks and I hate being wrong. That’s life. There is always more to learn and new things to experience. There’s a whole world out there, and that isn’t even counting the mysteries of space.
