i always thought that it was unfair
that being transgender was a type of taboo when its just how i feel. its not like its harming anyone, is it?
but the rude questions, i was asked only once before "whats your real gender?"
i hate that question with every fiber of my being
because its really none of your business whats in my pants. you have no right to know; youre a stranger
sure, i dont present myself as masculinely as i identify. sure, i wear skirts every so often, but have you considered that im just comfortable with my own body? that this makes me happy
i dont care what you think about me. i dont care if you dont like it, or if you dont accept it.
but dont tell me what i am. dont tell me what to do with my life. its mine, and no one elses. what i am has nothing to do with you
why are you so affected when it doesnt concern you? when it doesnt hurt you or your loved ones? im transgender, and it has nothing to do with you
it makes me happy. it makes me comfortable in my own skin. it makes me more myself
why are you trying to deny or surpress my individuality?
saying "youre just brainwashed by the media", "its just a phase", or "youre just a kid, you wouldnt understand"
even if it was just a phase, its not hurting anyone at all, and it makes me happy. so with those two very important things, why do you think its so bad?
i think the question that this is about is, "do i want to be accepted or do i want to be myself?"
both seems like the best option, but people who are too invested in other peoples lives would say otherwise
i just want to be me
i want to be me without having to worry about people asking what privates i have down there, without anyone questioning me or interrogating me when they dont even know me, without any disturbances with my gender identity
if i couldnt choose both options, then i would rather be myself and hated. i would rather feel comfortable in my own skin and not accepted
because at least i would be honest
honest with myself, which matters most
i just want to be me in peace

I finally talked about my regret IRL
I told my sister about where my regret over being transphobic comes from, about how I responded to my old crush, J, transitioning from male to female. It was a...
You hit the nail on the head by saying ppl are too invested in other ppl’s lives and that honesty with yourself matters most. Your whole post indicates that you know exactly who you are and how you feel but that interference from others interrupts it. Sadly the world is saturated with negative and mean ppl so all you can really do is treat them with the contempt they deserve and live your life your way
