Mz. April DanielsThe thing about being a trans woman is that growing up, all the boys around me knew I wasn't one of them.
Nobody ever called me a man until they realized they could hurt a woman by doing so.
The Vargarnir system@MzAprilDaniels daaaaaamn, that's on the nose.
'i am no man' Charlotte Eowyn!@MzAprilDaniels ......yes. this.
Melissa BearTrix 🏳️⚧️@MzAprilDaniels hugz ... Yeah they all knew, just wish they told me a bit nicer ... Photo supplied as proof and picture me sitting on the grass hill, with my younger cousins making clover flower headpieces and necklaces ... Giggles
catsynth / amanda c@MzAprilDaniels that is really sad on multiple levels 😿
GuerillaGrue@MzAprilDaniels This, so much.
So many comments from guys growing up about, well, the kinds of nasty things guys make comments about, where the guys were putting me in the female role in their descriptions/acts.
So many guys who would come to me for relationship advice because I was friends with the girls they were dating, and 'got' things they struggled to.
Now, I wonder how many of those guys would tell me I had no right to be myself... and I really don't want to know the answer to that.
Larina🏳️⚧️@MzAprilDaniels yes, thanks for articulating this
Bite Marx@MzAprilDaniels literally the opposite yeah, they called some of us girls until we started to realize they were right and then they said "no not like that"
@genderfucky Right?! Can't win for losing!

🪴🌮🥃🍣@MzAprilDaniels Yeah. I felt that a lot on the opposite side as an imposter among girls. They could sense it. It why I was always the one that got attacked and bullied by groups of girls. I couldn't handle having female friends for years and only recently ended up with some good ones.
@robotdiver I'm sorry that happened to you. That sucks.
Tattie (old account)@MzAprilDaniels I was bullied at school and at home for my entire childhood.
The most common term of abuse was simply "girl".
PointlessSpike@MzAprilDaniels It's very funny how people will say "you're not a man" to demean men that don't conform, but then if they say "you're right, I'm a woman/nonbinary" they'll switch to "yer a man!"
All they want is to attack. No principle, no consistency. Just tear down people for being different.

Miriam's on Medical Leave@MzAprilDaniels Oof, accurate.
Kara Goldfinch@MzAprilDaniels I hid it too well that pretty much everyone I knew thought I was joking when I came out.
