I am still very early in this whole process, and there is still a lot of self doubt, so I am reading a lot of literature on “Am I trans” and dysphoria.

One concept that people often like to propose in these ressources is the button that makes you the opposite gender, and, crucially, also makes everyone else believe that you have been that way forever.

I don’t really like this, because my time as a boy/man is part of who I am. I would not be me without it, and despite all of the problems I had and have due to my gender, it is still part of who I am. I fought through all of this and worked to find out who I want to be by myself. I wouldn’t wanna be cis, and I also don’t want to cease being the me born out of this struggle.

    Thank you. That test is absurdly funny, didn’t expect to get as much enjoyment out of it as I did.

    You are at a meeting. Everyone at the meeting is the same sex as you. The leader of the meeting announces that it’s time for hugs all around! How do you feel about this?

    I would hate this

    You are parking your car. You must reverse into a somewhat narrow space to park. What do you do?

    Is this implying that driving skills are related to gender identity?

      Yeah because only male brains have spacial reasoning dontcha know! Pink lady brains can’t do hard stuff like math or imagining cubes. Like this shit was what us closeted messes were interacting with back in 1999. And I must emphasize, this was 100% serious and meant to help trans women.
