@frost I've met someone with one. I've been thinking if I ever wind up going as far as GRS that's the direction I want to go, because I'm getting OLD, and about the last thing I really want to do is fuck with my urinary tract when older.

@Leucrotta Nice! And haha HUH I never even thought about urinary tract fuckups. We get UTIs a lot (might be an intersex thing) and we're still young.

@frost oh that's DEFINITELY an intersex thing given how I know y'all's bits are partly reconstructed.

@obscurestar Yeah, exactly in this case.

I was riffing off how I think a lot of transphobia is *literally* conservatism; trans folk are seen as dodging a kinda shitty game which we don't necessarily like, but which we all do because that's what we've always done (and if we're doing it, then clearly it has to be morally good and something we can't possibly challenge, right?). Real southern way of viewing the world, right?

So that got me thinking about how I was treated sort of as a girl (for being bad at sports, reading, etc) while simultaneously being required to be a boy (and stuff you could stereotype as boy stuff like climbing everything, cycling anywhere I could get to, actually being cranky, etc instead got dismissed) and having girlhood off limits (partly because girls are "supposed to be" pretty and even tempered and I was repeatedly told I was this ugly, out of control monster).

And I mean that's a huge realization, wherever I'm going gender wise that's pretty vital to have, but that doesn't tell me where I'm headed next, if that makes sense.
