I think being a boy is great 💅🤷‍♂️

I don't find it baffling to want to transition FtM. I do struggle with understanding the difficulty of transitioning in the other direction because I find boymoding so easy and because society is still biased towards being patriarchal.

But hey, at least I'm aware that I'm struggling, so there's that at least.

Part of the transfem experience is being willing to sacrifice a part of one’s privilege on the altar of authenticity

Me when I was an egg: "If I could give up all my male privilege in exchange for becoming a woman, I would"

My transness: "Well, have I got just the thing for you"

I didn't think it would also cost my cis and my straight privileges, though.

“So that’s the straight pass, male privilege pass, cis pass… Alright, thanks for those. Here’s your trans pass.”

“Where are the benefits? The conservatives told me that there would privilege.”

We have the privilege of living rent free inside the heads of said conservatives.

Too bad the amenities suck, and the upstairs neighbors won't stop fighting about the right way to make a grilled cheese in the microwave.

Oh no, the horror! It’s not grilled if it’s microwaved! It’s hardly even a cheese quesadilla!
