I’m truly grateful I grew up in a society where gender reassignment wasn’t a thing to worry about. I knew a HELL OF A LOT of trans people way back in the 80’s & 90’s, which is a bit unusual. But modern kids? Don’t just have the gay/straight question asked of them, if they’re “different”.
I’m a 6’ tall chick. Who served in the military, likes skulls/dragons/guns/sports and countless other “boy” things… but? Am. Still. A. Girl. Because girls CAN love those things. And do those things. They’re not the property of men, and never have been. Judeochristian west, maybe they “only” belong to “boys” and girls “shouldn’t” like, much less be GOOD at “boyish” things??? But Imstill think that’s just gross.
It’s just so frustrating.
I’m a person. Who likes what I like.
Just like trans people are people, who like what they like.
Regardless of whatever f*cking phenotype/sex/gender we happen to look like.
On the upside when people either assume I AM trans, or “should” be? I have 40-mumble years of… nope! Am a girl. Born a girl. f*ck off with your stereotyping bullshit nonsense. So there’s that. The confidence to back idiots dooooooown.
Sigh.
People. People are on my shit list. Again.
