    I can confidently say that I am the most basic bitch straight cis white male with no strong desire to change any of that.

    But also, we only get one body. It certainly isn’t unusually to be curious how other people live. I think there’s a preprogrammed “How dare you want to change anything!” naturalist attitude. And that discourages anyone from even thinking about the possibility of change.

    I think if there was no stigma, you’d definitely see far more of the population coded as Trans, Fluid, or some other variant. I think you’d see more people who are simply gender non-conforming.

    I think part of what upsets the Boomer/X generation is the fact that they never got a chance to choose. And as Millennials/Zs/As are umshackled, I’m hoping the resentment fades.

      They’re not though. They’re very rigidly stuck inside little Identity boxes anyway. You’re automatically “trans coded” if you’re a guy but like dresses, looking pretty and shaving. There’s no reason to make those feminine traits though. Real liberation means we ditch the whole thing.

    I don’t want to be “pretty,” I want to be devastatingly handsome. I want to be actaeonizingly beautiful to all genders.
