Give me your worst, Lemmy! Absolutely nothing is off limits. Let’s get fucking weird!
I post this here because /c/iama doesn’t seem to be a thing…
Don’t hold back you jerks!
EDIT: It’s just about 05:00 for me. Night night! I’ll answer any other questions. In a few hours!
Not OP, but to chime in:
It’s not quite as simple, but one of the thoughts that confirmed it to me was “if I had a button I could push, and overnight my body would change to an ideal body opposite my gender, and I woke up knowing the social norms and being treated exactly as that gender was, would I want to do that”?
Once I realized I would, the question just changed to “there are health and social concerns that come with it now, it takes forever, and you may never hit your idealized image. Are you still in?”
Once I realized I was, it was just slow steps to test the waters. Change my online profiles. Go by a different name. Start to ask for my pronouns to be different with my friends and family. Eventually I’m on HRT.
