I think it's what it means that's the issue.

When a cis man's clothes indicate he has a penis, it means nothing.

When mine, a trans woman's, do - it's automatically angry, sexual, a Statement. Political. It needs to be some of those things. I have some say in how I sell it, but those are my options at the best of times. Deviant or defiant.

Yes, even to cis people who are allies and know I'm a woman. They may accept my reasons for having a dick, but I need reasons. And often Reasons. Even if they'll react with "you go, girl", I need to put out a message for them to react to. Be it meek or brave.

Cis men don't.

I don't mind being the Angry Trans. But I hate that I have to be some kind of consciously chosen kind of trans.

Making this one public so it's Boostable. Hope it reaches some sympathetic cises and makes them think. About something I have to have a take on. I need to be a historian, political scientist, biologist, activist, diplomat and PR rep to comfortably exist. Y'all don't.

If you're trans, it's already likely you'll Boost this (thanks!). If you're cis and fancy yourself an ally, I dare you to.
