fuck, it's THE GENDERS again
From a DM to someone I know, over on Bluesky;
I'm not entirely sure how much I want to transition or whether occasionally getting rid of my body hair, use she/her pronouns, and wear skirts is enough. What I know for a fact; I'm never especially stoked about maleness, it's usually a fairly neutral description, but I HATE feeling like it's this role which I HAVE TO PERFORM because it's very important to someone ELSE that I perform it. You can see how recent events would be really stomping on that variety of dysphoria really hard.
... then I realized that's my baggage about childhood, adulthood in general. Who I AM doesn't matter, it's what I HAVE TO DO for some loud pushy ass adult who's decided what's mandatory now.
