but if you want to go there, that's fine.
you found an opinion piece written by an anonymous person, in a subreddit dedicated to literally critiquing our existnce.
hey, that's okay. I like a different perspective.
first and foremost, this is an american version of a masculine perspective. I'm american too, so that's fine, but it doesn't really dictate how other trans women feel outside of the US.
and, eh. i don't deny narcissism. never did.
perhaps that's intrinsic to being trans? idk. i know lots of trans girls that want absolutely nothing to do with the spotlight.
maybe that's a self-declaration of attractiveness. not saying i'm attractive. i think i am, but that's only based off of the things people tell me (see: narcissism)
end of the day, and end of the thread.
i read all of the shit people try to tell me. and sometimes, it makes me wonder, for sure. but it never, ever gets rid of the gender dysphoria.
and i appreciate that you don't know what that's like? i wish i could show you, maybe we'd be able to talk about it further.
it's like trying to tell someone who's never ever been stoned, what being stoned is like.
you can sorrrrta describe things about it? but until they've experienced it.. you just can't get it through to them. you know?
and if you choose not to believe me, when i tell you that gender dysphoria is real. and my gender dysphoria has become less severe, as estrogen as depleted some of my male attributes; than i can't really.... i can't have this discussion.
cuz you probably already decided for yourself whether or not my feelings are valid. and i'm guessing you decided they aren't. and therefore, it's pointless.
but, i want you to know, user. including this exposure to that thread, as well as that ENTIRE subreddit. Nothing has changed for me, mentally/emotionally. That's not to say that i just blatantly disagreed with the content. It's just to say, that it was inaccurate.
