For all those fears and concerns that other trans people have, I simply do not have them. So, without question, I am smashing that magic queer/trans button to make me a cisgender woman!

It’s not as if I haven’t wished at least a million times that there was a button that could instantly transform me into a cis woman.
But but but. What about the fine print?

If you could push a button to swap sexes, would you? What if it were permanent not impermanent? What if pressing the button meant everyone has always known me as a girl, so there’s no sacrifice or stigma?

I began to explore and search for my mum’s bras. They were not from Triumph, and I couldn’t care much. I tried wearing it on my head, like a pilot getting ready to take off.
I wore the bra, and would sneak the bra back to the wardrobe before my parents came back.

I think about the magic button a lot. It’s burned into a lot of trans people’s brains, because it’s a tool we almost all use at some point — usually when we’re struggling the most.

I’m a #transgender woman. I spent years living in a body and a social role that didn’t fit. I want to tell you what I noticed from the perspective of someone who has genuinely lived on both sides of the gender gap.

“Wait,” she lowers her voice, leaning in conspiratorially. “Don’t take this the wrong way but… are you trans?”
My heart does that familiar little stutter. Honesty is usually the best policy in the ladies’ loo, and she seems nice enough.

Back then, in the late ’80s and early ’90s, liking what girls liked was a risk. The rules weren’t written down, but everyone knew them. Boys could wear sports logos or heavy-metal tees. Girls got pink, glitter, and heartthrobs.

dating guys fucking sucks, girls are statistically nicer but im not super carnally attracted to them in the same way, despite my openess to a relationship
all the guys who are similar to me both mentally and in interests (which is my primary interest) is too stuck up and fixated on being an incel to be open to a relationship
meanwhile everyone else is a creepy asshole or im just not into them
someone like equius would be a good balance for me but i havent seen that kind of person exist however
luckily being a virgin as a female is seen as virtuous for some reason but god the romance pool these days suck ass
all due to a stupid ass mindset a lot of guys seem to share (note is not a biological thing, i've seen the same iddue with trans men as well, although slightly different the same issues pop up)
The squall had come from nowhere. The weather prediction had been fine; our afternoon forecast called for smooth sailing.
Then a water spout appeared about a mile away on the port side.
