Trans Egg - Tumblr Posts

you know when youre like “im not [agab] im enby!” and youre really proud of yourself for not questioning anymore but then youre like “wait what if im really just a [binary gender opposite to agab]” and youre questioning all over again

ive come to realize something about the way we think about ourselves. gender isnt a social construct. heres why:

it implies that if there was no society, there wouldnt be any gender but people who are isolated from society can still have a gender

if all it took to be a woman was to simply identify as a woman, a transmasc egg would be considered a woman

it kinda feeds into the gender = gender expression myth

people from ye olden days and from other cultures who have different words for being trans like hijra instead of enby wouldnt be that gender because its a different label

tying back to that first point, if you need society to have a gender, wouldnt that make it a choice?

i propose this: gender is a psychological connection to femmininity/masculinity/androgyny/etc. like zodiacs, youre stuck with it for life, but how it applies to you is different then how it applies to someone else with the same zodiac/gender. how you interpret it can be different. you can call a color teal or cyan or turquoise but that doesnt change what color it is. and even if youre really short, that doesnt stop you from wearing heels, like how being a man doesnt stop you from wearing a dress. to be a woman, you have a psychological connection to femininity. you can present masculine, but inside its still femme. same thing for feminine presenting men and feminine/masculine presenting enbies.

thanks for reading, have a great day :)

(can I say egg = cracked if it was literally just me recognizing that I feel femme? I'm not even planning anything like surgery or HRT, I'm still pretty comfortable presenting masc IRL as I always have, I'm just embracing femme feelings that have always been looming unrecognized in the shadows of my gender. And I have some masc feelings too, mixed in there. What would you call that? Genderfluid? Pangender? Well, on the one hand I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks, I'm doing things my way. But on the other hand, I'm open to some good-faith advice / discussion.)

So THAT'S why I was obsessed with Shūzō Oshimi's manga Inside Mari (like seven years ago 🥚)

It's trans visibility day, so in lieu of ruining my family's Easter I'm coming out here

Fellas, I'm transgender 💥

If you look really closely at my prior posts here, I think you will find the signs have been there since the beginning ;)
