Do I Actually Want To Write This Fanfic Or Do I Just Want To Wallow In The Delicious Daydream Like A

Do I actually want to write this fanfic or do I just want to wallow in the delicious daydream like a pig in the mud?

My mother hates the white hair that she's getting more and more, but when she sits in front of a window and the morning sun shines upon her head, these white hairs shine like silver amongst her otherwise dark brown hair, and it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

saw an infuriating post. anyway i love it when women have wrinkles and are old. when they have the smile lines around their eyes and their neck is hanging a bit and they have creased foreheads. when their hands show their age and their knuckles are just a touch knobby. and above all when their hair turns gray to white. i love it when women are blessed with life and show it.

i think it’s funny that kirk is always picking the flowers on alien planets

An interview with a trans man named Peter Alexander, taken from the British Pathé archives. The interview was filmed in 1937.

[Transcript:] As the years passed on, it became very evident that the male side, and the male personality, was becoming dominant. So, after seeking medical advice, I decided to cast aside women’s clothing for those of a male. Although I no longer use lipstick and powder, which would be rather ridiculous when one has to shave every day, I don’t blame the modern girl for using it. But seriously, I do not consider that woman is inferior to man, as she has huge responsibilities, and a definite purpose in life. I left New Zealand because of the publicity which followed me wherever I went. And I hope to go to London at a later date. And when I return to settle down and marry here, and continue with my musical career. And finally, I have one advantage over you other chappies, and that is, I know both sides to every little ordinary story. [End transcript.]

I love his interview because he takes the time to defend the inherent worth of women, and separates his gender identity from his feminist perspective.

I feel the same way as Mr Alexander did. My transition has nothing to do with politics, or my view of womanhood. I think womanhood is beautiful, nuanced, and precious. I did not choose to be transgender, or to be a man. I did not choose my gender dysphoria. I also won't apologise for being a trans man!

I tried, for a very long time, to be my assigned gender. I wasn't capable of it. It was destroying my mental health. But that doesn't mean I have a low opinion of womanhood, or women, or girls.

I think being a woman is wonderful. If you are a woman. I was not. So it nearly killed me. But! I recognise that I am a statistical exception. I recognise that many women have layered, complex, and unique experiences of their femaleness, and they will never arrive at the same conclusion I did (that I am a man). And I think valuing gender non-conforming women, and butches, is essential in promoting LGBT+ equality.

I am proud to be a trans man, and I am also proud to have been assigned female at birth.
