Re: transgender question

[anonymouslyyours]

I'm not transgender but there was a time I believed I might be. Ultimately I realized I was dealing with internalized misogyny and my problem wasn't with how I felt about my body and identity but with how others perceived me because of it. I didn't want to be a man, I just wanted people to stop dismissing me or treating me like a ~girl/woman~. I identify with not feeling like you fit into either category.

I am definitely going to say things like this aren't a one size fits all kind of thing. Ultimately I wouldn't worry about whether or not it's a normal thing to feel so much as understanding and accepting how you feel and then taking it from there.

Anyway ramble aside your post made me think of this: http://janetmock.com/2012/07/09/josie-romero-dateline-transgender-trapped-body/

Hope you find it helpful or at least interesting and good luck!

Thank you for the link! I'm really glad you shared it because the whole "trapped narrative" is part of my struggle - I don't have that "trapped in the wrong body" feeling that is always in trans* stories.

I've also struggled with the idea that I might be dealing with internalized misogyny, and I do think the whole "stop dismissing me or treading like a ~girl/woman~" thing is part of my problem, I also just really want a penis and a flat chest. It sounds silly but...there it is.

I'm still a little confused myself because I plan on having my breasts reduced as much as possible money/time willing and I'd love to have a penis too... just not at the expense of any of my lady parts?

But ultimately I identify as a woman*.

*term not subject to any terms or conditions other than 'not-man'. Like the calvinball of genders.

eta: I remember a mtf trans* once describing feeling less trapped and struggling but more like waiting to grow into the right body, a vague unease almost like a preteen awaiting the transition of puberty. She said that she just felt like she would slowly wake up in the same body, but finished, one day.

Like, male dangly bits instead of female? Also, would you then identify as a woman sans boobs with a penis, or would it matter?
