Ikr? Hella rood. What if I was born with the body I wanted? Omg that would be wild!!!! ππππππ
Tbf how many cis people ever happy with their body xD
honestly, being able to experience the world from the perspective of someone being treated like a woman definitely helps us, trans men, to be decent men. once you get first hand experience of misogyny it's hard to then impose that onto others (though not impossible, trans rights and trans wrongs am i rigjt fellas)
If all guys had to spend a period of time being treated like girls; the world might be saved
damn bestie this is fire
perhaps its the universal conciousness bridging the forms and genders to create a new medium of mutual understanding for the struggles we all must face together, to create empathy and infinite forms of love, compassion, and living experiences. but also mirroring the positive outcomes with the negative certainties that we know today. the ying, and yang of it all.
through love and suffering, we understand the dichotomy and the lands between. we can contrast emotion and what meanings it can paint on the canvas of the soul. and then, in the end, we go back to sender. to contribute our experiences to that great ocean once more. a cycle of infinite self exploration and expansion. for a purpose we will never truly understand in our current chosen forms, until our time comes, and we go home.
Or maybe: suffering does not have meaning beyond a mechanical system of blood sacrifice. We age and die so the genes survive better, not to make us wiser or happier. We're just tools to it, not unique individuals with meaning to some benevolent order. It's a fucked system that gives people gender dysphoria because the pattern just happened to propagate. If we choose to think that this world cares for us, then we justify its inequities as moral and just simply because they are; simply because they're "natural."
There are no comforting external truths and the only palatable meaning that exists is what we invent to make ourselves feel better. There is nothing stopping anyone from believing whatever helps them sleep at night, but such beliefs will never be above manipulation by selfish interests. In fact, our need for comforting beliefs are part of the reason why we'll be stuck with war, bigotry, and hierarchy till the end of time. We struggle to accept the inherent nihilism of a world that simply just is. We struggle to divorce what ought to be from what is.
