"When cis people try to understand what it is to be trans, I think they often try to imagine what it would feel like to want to be 'the opposite sex'. What they should be trying to imagine, instead, is how it would feel to wake up and find that the whole world insists they *are* the opposite sex. That would be a much closer scenario to how it feels to be trans." Sage

@transactualuk they still will not get it because they're missing an important ingredient, the lived experience, now if they had the courage to put on makeup and a dress and live that way for a year, then maybe they'll get a smidgen of the experience, they still won't get it fully because they can take off the dress anytime.

Str8-cis-dude here: Had an experience in highschool that really sent it home; A local department store had a..promo-fashion-teenager club-group-thing;

Anyway, initation was dress like a girl for a day. I was always pretty tolerant, BEFOREHAND I, figured it would be funny and chill, like whatever.

Once the makeup and dress was on, it was like BAD. Didn't realize how uncomfortable it would make me. Made me realize how real it must have been for those who 'chose' that?
