What's something you did because you believed society expected you to do it and later realized that you actually didn't want that?

Society doesn’t want people to be trans. In fact, it loves trying to get rid of us or subjugating us.

Given that people are continuously trying to make existing in public as a trans person hard or completely illegal, or treat trans people as sexual predators and legalise the other parent kidnapping their kid, or any of a million other things I can’t be arsed to list, I recommend gaining a little perspective.

But I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith soooo >.<

I don’t believe you. Please, tell me about some of these events where you, personally, were subtly or openly harassed for being ‘a “cis”.’ (It doesn’t count when people tell you to fuck off for being a dick first).

At least put some effort into your lies. Nobody who goes outside and interacts with other people is going to fall for this.

If you’re being openly harassed, it’s because you’ve chosen to be a dogshit person, not because of the opinions you hold about your own genitals.
