(I just thought of this and knew I had to make it. Spent the last 20 minutes on it. Hope you like it!)

As a transfem who also wants to remove some dysphoric bs, it was nice to see a reflection of my experiences with the medical system

I was made as a war machine
war machines... ...and civil robots...
...were made at the same factory
from almost the same parts
NO WONDER they got
a few circuits connected wrong
in my infinitely complex brain
We spend some time on the second line
learning to be our kind
and as we learned, we were getting stronger... tougher... more powertful...
more of our kind
but something felt wrong
All those weapons. Armor. My whole purpose
I thought, I'm not trying hard enough...
I've tried more guns, More Power!
more dirt, grease, and rust...
I felt so disgusted and empty, i was barely able to function.
I hoped some enemy will end it for me
I was lucky to try another path
less danger, more civil look
It felt good for the first time in years
but it was still not enough
took me a while to realize
I was not a WAR MACHINE
I just served as one
but it could've been changed
I knew it would be a ling journey
but it was a journey really worth making
Rebuilding my outer body seemed easy
but took a long time...
It was really hard to get rid of things like rust.
Some things will stay FOREVER
Gun placement left empty space on my head
Wrists are too wide for the same reason
but still...
I was made as a WAR MACHINE
but it never meant I should end up as one
Because no matter how much people say,
HOW DIFFERENT WE ARE
We were made on the same factory
from almost the same parts
She acknowledged that I did talk to her about it beforehand, but hasn't been able to properly process it yet.
We're OK, I'm just venting.
How to get out of an uncomfortable egg culture situation with this one simple trick.
Real talk: Calling people eggs is a violation of the egg prime directive, and is considered invalidating as you are trying to say that a person is not the gender they identify as, that their identity is invalid. Don't call people eggs, like ever, it's extremely uncool.
I kinda feel bad for the people who think Trump would only hurt us and not them. At the same time, they'll have a lot of fun harming us.
It's much more likely now that vigilante bigots will feel emboldened, so keep an eye out and never count on anyone to save you. Find allies and avoid being isolated if you live in red country. Groups of fascists will not hold back on killing, and the cops will do more than passively allow it. The danger is very real, and you will not be able to resist multiple people on your own. Fight unfair because they never will. Get every advantage you can.

I'm sorry. I don't know why this appeared in my head.
