I’ve been trying to figure out why the OP pissed me off so much at first, but honestly it’s pretty simple: So much of the early work of my transition was building earthworks in my head to hold back societies expectations of me https://twitter.com/9billiontigers/status/1388037697260773377">https://twitter.com/9billiont...

Seeing someone say ‘lol, you don’t need any of that actually’ is scary! But i keep coming back to people talking about this thread, because it touched this feeling I continually have that pressing my pronouns on people and explaining my trans ness to people -

And trying to contextualize my life for my parents to understand why I’m this way - that’s all for cis people! And it’s not actually helping me! So fuck it! I’m trans for reasons, who cares?!

Anyways, forgive me my rant, i guess I should start reading some gender theory.
