My favourite part of transitioning is when the illusion of cisheteronormativity falls away and you start to understand the world in an entirely new way, and you begin to exist outside of a system that honestly seems built only to keep you shackled and complacent.

And how trying to describe or explain this to a cis person is like trying to describe the colours a hummingbird sees which we don't.

God damn, The Matrix was spot-on, huh?

@unworthyBeatrix yep 100%. One of my biggest problems is how that systemic cisheteronormativity keeps coming back to bite me, usually when I'm not suspecting it, and at 3AM it wakes me up with "you're not a proper woman, you know, because X Y and or Z...". Man, fuck that guy 😞
