I am really happy with it despite the rampant transphobia. Irl people arent nearly as transphobic as the internet would have you believe imo. Still lost many friends, but its worth smiling in the mirror every night and having motivation.
I know the majority of regular people aren’t transphobic - at worst most of them are genuinely just ignorant - but for example here on TERF Island I’m kinda worried that attempts will be made to legislate trans people away and criminalise our existence
I mean they cant legeslate us away. That is basically impossible. If you had to you could actually castrate yourself and make your own estrogen by breeding rabbits or something. This is actually a way that people in the ancient world transitioned. Obviously not ideal but there are tons of cis women who have to take estrogen. Probably one of the most perscribed medications. i can also transition without hormones. I have been transitioned for years really before i even started hormones. Trump wont be in power forever. The republicans are dying out even if they are making one final push and have tons of propganda. Lying to people only works temporarily. People wise up. They resent liars. Most people are decent even if they dont understand many things. They know in their hearts that they should be good to people. Republicanism is dying for other reasons outside of their control. There are no republicans anymore. They killed class, they killed land ownsership with their greed. There is no reason really for anyone to be a republican anymore. Everyone is poor, even the upper middle class.
As I said, I’m on TERF Island - Britain - so Trump isn’t especially relevant. I’m staring down the barrel of 4 more years of increasingly transphobic Labour policy followed by a likely Reform government that could go for who knows how long, which is a long time to exist under a lot of transphobia and general bigotry. Currently the EHRC is trying to publish rules that already aim to force trans people out of public life and if that then gets backed up by government policy who knows where it could end? Especially since Reform are explicitly talking about removing us from the European Convention on Human Rights and Labour are talking about “looking into” it.
Even in a utopian society I would absolutely hate this condition.
No utopia or vacuum can protect from the void that is gender dysphoria.
A utopian society won’t make me not want to scratch my eyes out whenever I see a mirror, want to chop off male fat distribution with a machete or rip out my vocal chords when I hear myself speak…
You realise you’re trans: 🙂
While the world is a particularly transphobic hellhole: ☹️
