Posting It Instead Of Reblogging It So This Is Harder To Hide/get Rid Of For The Staff

Here's the thing:

Cis people really do feel like the gender they were assigned at birth.

Cis women really do feel like women, and cis men really do feel like men. They experience what we would call gender euphoria related to dressing and expressing themselves as their gender, whether that's in a femme way or a butch way or any other way. They feel joy and connection with their gender, with their sexuality and how it relates to their gender. They wear clothes, participate in activities, and express themselves in ways that affirm their gender identity.

Gender critical radfems and terfs will try to convince you that "no woman feels like a woman". They do this for several reasons. Firstly, it's to try to convince trans men they aren't trans, they're just women with no connection to womanhood because "no woman feels a connection to womanhood". They also do it to try to discredit trans women, by saying "If you feel like a woman, then you're clearly not a woman, because "woman" isn't a feeling, it's biology".

A lot of gender critical terfs and radfems claim they are "dysphoric women", and will try to convince you this is a normal state of womanhood. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no, that doesn't sound normal at all, actually. Most women do not secretly wish they could be men, or more androgynous, or have a penis. Most women don't define their lives through suffering - they love being women.

If womanhood - or manhood - is making you miserable... you might be trans, or you might be gender nonconforming. See if dressing a different way makes you feel a spark of joy and happiness - seek euphoria!

Gender should be joyous, not drudgery.

“can I be a trans man and a lesbian?” “can I go on T if I identify as a woman?” “can I go on estrogen if I identify as a man?” “can I be a lesbian and bisexual?” “can I be asexual and still into kink?” “can I get top surgery and only use she/her pronouns?” “can I—” listen to me. listen to me closely. look into my eyes and hold my hand. the universe has been around for 13.7 billion years. no listen to me. your life is so infinitely precious. your time on this earth is like a drop of water in ten billion oceans. your body and your mind has been molded by the collective evolution of 120 billion bodies. 120 billion bodies have lived and breathed and loved and lost and laughed and touched and cried and screamed and died. you will never be here ever again. the universe will keep going for billions of more years and you will never ever see it. the earth will die and you will be an atom floating in a distant star.

you can do whatever the fuck you want forever.

I love Twitter bc everyone is dumb

"Masculinity is rewarded" have you ever spoken to a transmasc or a butch or a tomboy or any masculine woman/person perceived as a woman. Have you ever spoken to a gnc transfem.

Dear Leopard,

I really appreciate you eating people's faces. But can you stop eating mine?
