Like what am i even doing I barely know what girls are let alone how to become one
Just do you, and don’t bother with conventions. By far the most difficult part is when they install that thing that converts your poop into rainbows and roses aroma (I wanted lillac)
I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news is, you’re already a girl.
The bad news is, you’re Not Like Other Girls
I’m trying to learn how to live as a girl while spending hours presenting male at work and to family its pretty wild haha. I’ll figure it out some day but until then i have a god given right to complain 👍
Apparently its TERFy or whatever to say “trans girls are ‘socialized as men’” but I swear that happened to me and i dont know how to fix it. Sorry for sadposting but im making sure to do it on company time
Its one of those subjects that, while important, I’ve almost always seen brought up in bad faith, which sucks because there’s such a valuable conversation to be had about how we’re socialized in a society where so much is unnecessarily gendered.
I think that view is criticized because the response to that socialization by cis boys and trans girls is different, which leads to a whole spiral of different social outcomes.
Also, though, there’s not just one way to be trans, and there are certainly trans people who view their gender as less innate or absolute. Though the majority of trans people say they have always been whatever gender they ultimately identify as and only their expression changed, others say they really did change genders internally as well - that they were a man and became a woman, for example. They’re both legitimate (and probably based on a lot of different cultural influences).
Basically, you do you bb
For a lot of trans people this is part of the journey, and its important because it allows you to discover what is really you and what is hosted upon you by society.
So many trans people struggle with imposter syndrome and I blame the monetization of trans stories for that as it creates a railroad for what the proper trans narrative is and that is not helpful and quite dangerous.
Seek out gender expression that makes you feel empowered and happy, with that you can make no errors. For what reason would we embark upon such a dangerous and sapping journey if not for the freedom of self.
Love to you!
