In General, People Are Not Drawn To Perfection In Others. People Are Drawn To Shared Interests, Shared

In general, people are not drawn to perfection in others. People are drawn to shared interests, shared problems, and an individual’s life energy. Humans connect with humans. Hiding one’s humanity and trying to project an image of perfection makes a person vague, slippery, lifeless, and uninteresting.

not to get all Gender Studies on yall but we’ve got to stop pushing this idea to young questioning people that if they dont like being a girl sometimes then they’re obviously trans, or genderfluid.

this absolutely isnt to say that some people ARENT genderfluid+trans, but refusing to factor in how society makes being a woman a wholly unpleasant experience is disingenuous and can lead to a lot of gnc people thinking that if they’re uncomfortable with what their gender is supposed to dress and look like, they must be trans.

please allow room for gnc people in your discussions when you’re telling some young girl who doesn’t like being sexualized that shes trans. please allow room for nuance. thats all in asking for.
