I have massive hips. I mean it's bone, not just fat on top (though I have that too!) So if I got it in my head that I'm actually a man -- you see I never wear makeup, I never wear high heels, I don't like shopping, and as a child my favorite games were playing with toy cars in the driveway and playing superheroes, so CLEARLY I am male! Duh! -- could I find a doctor to shave off my bones? Is that a pressing medical emergency that doctors have learned to treat? Maybe they could experiment on thousands of animals to learn to shave hip bones down because right now nobody would see my body as male, which I clearly am given how I don't even like the color pink (! is that enough proof for you or what!) -- If only my parents had put me on hormone blockers by age 10 tops (because my period started at 11, like they would have known that was going to happen) -- then somehow I'd be a man now. Somehow. Not just a woman with tons of medical problems. I'd be the man I actually am. The gay man -- because you know, you score more points for being trans AND gay (and that's totally not straight!) /sarc

That's the funny thing. To transactivists TiMs are simultaneously oppressed for being women and for not being seen as women. To many of these same transactivists TiFs are simultaneously privileged for being men and for being women. It's strange, almost as if a lot of the trans community is dominated by misogynistic men who hate women, even when those women claim to be men.
