The scene from Spongebob Squarepants where Mr Krabs goes "Yes, hello, I was wondering if you could play that song again." but it's just me replaying specific voice lines of my f/o by myself because the way they were spoken made me giggle

It's nice to feel like me, y'know?

yknow i think a lot of the really far-gone transfemme vs transmasc people who still play by the 6th grade milquetoast "trans women are targeted way more than trans men cause femininity is bad and masculinity is good In Our Society, so trans men get free acceptability passes" feminism forget that trans men/transmascs started life. as. little girls. we were mistaken, from birth, for baby girls. and we were raised by our parents to believe that we were little girls.
a lot of trans men and transmascs then grew up to be teenaged girls
a lot of trans men and transmascs were adult women too
and for a while we *believed* we were girls and women. some of us even WISHED we were girls and women (points at myself). and much more importantly, we were continually seen as girls and women. a lot of the time, we are STILL seen as girls and women, even with full fuckin beards and baritone voices. especially if we need to go to any kind of medical professional. this is what our free acceptability pass looks like?
its just so much more nuanced than these 'boys vs girls' people ever seem to care to think about. even binary trans folks dont have the same sense of cisgendered binary that cis people do. we literally cross from one fake end of the fake-binary to the other. thats where the trans in transgender comes from. i dont know how some other trans folks seem to forget that?? i don't know how, somewhere along the line, we forgot that trans men and transmascs also directly suffer under misogyny?

Amy is a good girl.
She is, really — all the things one should be: polite. Kind. Attentive. Empathetic. Giving. Her palms always face up and her smile is warm enough to fill the cold spots in a room.
Amy is a cool girl. She's different from other girls (but not different enough to stand out). A well-timed joke earns as much mileage as a quarter for gas, but at least she isn't too loud... well, except for the times she is. But at least she's pretty.
She is very pretty. She is feminine, with soft skin and dainty hands (that can carry hundreds in weight). Amy's quills fall perfectly just above petite shoulders and she has long eyelashes and her voice lilts when she laughs. She is very pretty. And she enjoys that. It feels nice to wear a dress, and when someone compliments the way it twirls about as she walks, that feels good.
She is a girl.
Sonic said as much when they'd first met. Back then, she was a weird girl. Not good, or cool, but weird — if it'd been anyone else saying it, Amy is sure she would have been hurt, but it was Sonic. Everything was okay if Sonic said it.
Being the weird girl meant chasing Sonic through storm and shine, no matter how much mud got on her sneakers. The weird girl would spar with Knuckles so much her own two fists would batter and bruise. She would help Tails work on the Tornado, gloves stained with oil and grease. Weird girl slept under the stars on the cold, wet grass and felt alive. Weird girl had back quills and barely any eyelashes to bat to get her way. Weird girl was one of them.
As time passed, they left Knuckles and Angel Island behind for the United Federation. Amy moved to Station Square and saw that other girls her age were... different. They didn't bruise their knuckles, or get covered in mud. They trimmed their quills and wore shoes with heels and not rainbow laces; how cool they seemed. All it took was a passing thought —would Sonic like this? — and the next time they met, she was wearing a headband.
Sonic didn't call her weird girl, then. She was simply Amy. Amy Rose. Everything was okay if Sonic said it.
Yesterday morning, as Amy trudged downstairs in her pajamas (joggers and a t-shirt), she stood in front of her mail locker in the lobby and tried not to think about her appearence. No time to do quills, or makeup, or get dressed, and the vaccum running down the hallway was so loud she barely heard the voice of the person who'd bumped into her; "sorry, sir".
A day later and she still doesn't know whether to be confused or not. To be angry. Surely it was a mistake, because she's always been "ma'am" and not "sir", and how does she look like a sir anyways — what does sir look like? Like Sonic? Like Knuckles, or Tails? One of them?
No, Amy is cool girl.
Amy is a good girl.
Amy is...?

Except for me
I specifically need to pass in order to be my preferred gender

why be normal about gender dysphoria when you can project onto a giant hockey player who comes with an emotional support guard dog?????

very controversial trans take; detransitioners are not our enemy. they're people who took the time to question their gender, to explore their identity inside and out, and came to the conclusion that their identity best aligns with what they were assigned at birth. i wish everybody could take the time to sit and think deeply about the identities they hold, particularly things like gender that are inherent, but also deeply socialized. the detransitioners who are spouting anti-trans rhetoric have been taught by the system we live in that even questioning your gender is wrong, so for many of them, that rhetoric is a survival tool for assimilating back into cis society. doesn't make it okay to hold anti-trans views, for certain, but it does expose the fact that the enforcement of a restrictive gender binary hurts everyone, even cis people.
