the totally cis dream of a magic potion that lets you freely change your gender at will
The totally cis discussions with my friends about SCP-113 and how that 25% chance of being “stuck” without the possibility of dying isn’t a big deal, and weirdly obsessing over this single SCP while everyone else quickly went on to the much cooler ones.
I really wish it had a link through at a certain point that says “Hey dummy, if you’re willing/actively want to touch this and aren’t concerned about the consequences, you’re probably trans”. Would have saved me a lot of time and effort…
For way too long I thought “I don’t understand why everyone gets so bent out of shape about trans people. Being a girl is clearly so much better, trans women are just the lucky ones who get to transition. It’s just a shame that I’m not trans, so I can’t transition and be a girl”
A few years, and a few realizations, later, here we are lol
“Of course I’d love to transition and be a woman, it’s just that I’m not trans.”
That was also my logic for a looong time.
“with no fuss”
Yeah, it turns out there’s a lot of fuss :(
If there were less fuss I would have transitioned a lot sooner, but having to abandon your entire family and community to be yourself is kind of a large hurdle.
Being disappointed as a child/adolescent as you accept magic isn’t real because that means you’d never just wake up one day suddenly a girl.
Tbf, I don’t think I thought it was a normal thought - it certainly wasn’t something I was about to tell others. I just thought my wish was impossible, so might as well just bury it. I didn’t know trans people existed or how medical transitioning worked.
Is it still Trans if I only want the button last a few hours before turning me back into a male? And what if I only want to use it every once in awhile?
Yup. Lookup genderfluid
