Like there are some people who think that we’re not valid if we don’t. Don’t people know how expensive and painful it is. Plus some of us just like what we got ya know. I’m proud to be a trans girl who still has the bits. Why is this so hard for people to understand? Also some people seem to think it’s much more common than it actually is.
My theory is that most people don’t think about who they want to be, just who they are, and for many people that revolves around their genitals. If they think they’re who they are because of their genitals, then, logically, to change who they are, they would have to change their genitals. Then, because most people don’t think about how their experiences aren’t universal, they apply that to others.
