I used to think I was cis and assumed that all dudes want to be girls. Now I know I’m trans and still assume all dudes want to be girls.

@rooster the replies to this thread are gonna be girls, either now or later

but for real if i'd thought to ask some of the cis dudes in my life how often they thought about being girls before i transitioned, i could have saved myself some time. had the conversation after with a few, and the one that i'll remember went like this:

"so have you ever thought about what it'd be like to be a woman?"

"yeah, of course. once or twice."

"a week, right?"

"no. like… ever."

@Staren @rooster @vyr @h5e @zmbush I'm sure we had *absolutely nothing* to do with that.

Probably.

Possibly.

Weeell, perhaps...we...skewed the scale...just a teensy bit?...

@OctaviaConAmore @Staren @rooster @vyr @zmbush Move fast and break things. And by things I mean eggs.

@h5e @Staren @rooster @vyr @zmbush We're not breaking the egg-prime-directive as long as the eggs just *happen* to break in our presense, are we?

@OctaviaConAmore @h5e @Staren @vyr @zmbush I love the idea of someone being so powerfully trans that they just spontaneously break eggs around them

@OctaviaConAmore @h5e @zmbush @rooster @Staren torn between the feminine urge to point out that "egg-cracking" culture is as good a way to shove someone back in the closet as any other unwanted interrogation of gender, and the reasonable feminine assumption that anyone in this thread is asking for it

just be a good and loud example, ladies πŸ˜‡

@vyr @h5e @zmbush @rooster @Staren I joke about egg-cracking, but yes, I very seldom touch eggs because of that very fact. I don't want to be the reason someone gets delayed years and years.

@OctaviaConAmore @vyr @h5e @zmbush @rooster I'm new at this, having thought I was a boy until 20 months ago; I don't go out of my way to look for eggs but sometimes I find someone who just clearly wants to be a girl so badly it pulls on my heartstrings, and sometimes a friend says some stuff that makes me want to encourage them to explore...

But also, now I just have to post this:
