To make an effort to convince the world I am female is not the same thing. It is coercion. It is delusion. It is fundamentally wrong.
In my home, surrounded by my loved ones, I live my life “as a woman” for all intents and purposes.
When I step outside I join a community of diverse experiences and perspectives. It’s not a safe space. It’s not meant to be affirming. I am not a woman, and it matters. (Thread)
To make an effort to convince the world I am female is not the same thing. It is coercion. It is delusion. It is fundamentally wrong.
Pretending to be a woman is not brave. Pretending there is no difference between men and women is not a victimless crime.
I’ve changed my body to treat my dysphoria, but doing so hasn’t made me a woman.
It’s destigmatizing men and women choosing to live in willful disobedience of gender, whether it’s the clothes you wear or the configuration of your body.
Stop telling women they have to view you as the same as them. They can sympathize with you and feel a bond with you without sacrificing their own sense of self.
