    That basically sums up my experience as well. I thought wanting to be them was a part of attraction. As it turns out, not quite

      Oh I know, “every guy thinks about being a girl from time to time right? Who me? I suppose I think about it every day, that’s normal for a boy, right? Wait… what do you mean you literally never think of that? come on, you’re not joking? Never? Oh… wait… you really don’t think ‘what would this be like if I were a girl’?”

      I was baffled. How could these other boys I knew not think of it that way?

          This is what I hate the most about “protect the children” type rhetoric and the hysteria that goes with it.

          I didn’t have to grow up and be a guy. I just never even knew there was any other option. The only reason I knew trans people even existed at all is because they were the butt of a joke in a movie. Typically the joke = here’s a trans person GROSSSSSS EWWWW

          Ace ventura as an example. But I had zero positive influences or anyone to talk to about it.

          I’m glad I found yall too. I just wish …no, it just should not have been so hard to find you all.
