Not qt or trans, but this is ridiculous (not you making the post, but the content of the post).

How do you “experience” a gender when you aren’t treated as that gender because you are the opposite “gender”.

And what does gender have to do with sex characteristics?

And that thing about western culture- where So many “effeminate” men are celebrated and beloved, from André Leon Talley all the way to James Charles? Really? It’s our society that makes a minute portion of people think they were meant to be the opposite sex/gender even though the vast majority of effeminate males and masculine females are fine being exactly what they were born?

It’s such bullshit. Their distress doesn’t come from society- it comes from within. I cannot believe we are now gonna have to pretend that someone wants to reshape their genitals because of society. None of this makes any sense.

I don't think that women asking for FGM for "first marriage night", feet binding and similar are all coming from within and not from social pressure and norms of said society. Same with "third gender" in cultures, it is often outcasted class and mostly made from conversion of gay men. Doubt it comes from within as well.
