I think the reason I’m obsessed with the thought of, “Maybe, one day, I won’t want to be trans anymore” is because I hate the way some people think of trans people—that we’re these delusional, brainwashed idiots.
“Maybe I could go back—wait, no, I still prefer living as a man. Shit, will this last forever? When can I finally be respected as a rational, responsible person again!”
I suspect it’s common among non-crazy people to examine oneself for faults when you learn others think you’re delusional. When MANY others seem to take joy in telling you that you’re brainwashed or crazy, it’s easy to slice Occam’s razor down to the common denominator: You.
And so, I’m obsessed with reading rants as to why trans is wrong. Because maybe, one day, I will stumble upon an argument so damning that the error of my ways will be illuminated. And then I will be deemed sane again. Then I will become a respectable person again.
I can say all I want that I like just like to hate-read, or that I’m just keeping my enemies close, but that’s not the whole story. A large part of it is I don’t want to be trans because I HATE knowing others consider me crazy and stupid.
