You know I probably would have figured out something was up with me genderwise sooner if people assigned female at birth were not conditioned from a young age to absolutely loathe their bodies in order to sell beauty products and diets and unattainable standards

#spitblaze says things #very hard to recognize that the background radiation in ur life is dysphoria under the unrelenting pressure of societal misogyny!!!#like i understand where some people are coming from when they say that transmascs are only transitioning to escape misogyny #which like. fuckin hell i WISH that worked. this shit is inescapable #but also we arent transitioning because of misogyny. were transitioning in spite of it #the entire point of misogyny is to keep Those Who Are Not Men in line #im not 'escaping misogyny' any more than the lesbians who refuse to style themselves to heteronormative tastes #'yeah but passing trans men get male privilege' yea maybe socially. and its not like im fuckin asking for it. i dont want this shit #you think i asked for that shit?? you think stealth and passing transmascs dont push back against misogyny and patriarchy???#weve been on the other side. we know what its like #obvs theres gonna be shitty individuals but if ur letting like three or four dudes shape ur perception of a whole group thats another issue #got off track there but i suppose thats what the notes are for #anyway te/-rfs. die. womanhood is not defined by suffering and you’re all defeatest reactionary shitheads
