Oh I would never actually express my feelings and keep quite. I guess I just find the whole concept of people having to transition depressing. Like, it sucks we live in such a sexist society that people feel they need to transition to be happy.

The thing is, that its not a sexist society that makes me want to transition. Not sure if you know the WEBTOON fluidum. Even if we lived in a society like that, I'd still want to transition [if the body thing wasn't in that comic]

I feel like none of us can know that. We can guess how we would have been in a different society, but I just don’t see how we can know when we’re exposed to gender so early.

My transition isn't motivated by gender though. When I first wanted to transition I was still naive enough to assume that gender didn't matter.

I’m just not sure how good any of us are at objectively understanding our own motivations, especially if they go back to when we were little. The mind is complicated.

Maybe it's easier for me since I have never stopped thinking these thoughts and my "role model" if you can call it that, never really changed. But I agree that there is no objective understanding here. Internal stuff like motivation will always be subjective.

Nope, is it SFW?

Yes. Absolutely.

Do you really think transition is because of social pressures? Doesn’t that ignore dysphoria?

Do you think sometimes dysphoria can be from social pressures? I have seen questions on askfeminists ask that.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I don’t think so. At least not body dysphoria. I can’t even entertain the idea that Toxic masculinity made me hate my genitals or flat chest.
