>>213504066 >I can't speak for every trans woman (and barely at all if at all for trans men), but this is just one giant dysphoria sink for me. From the familiar to the unfamiliar, from the unease she experiences when I would to the moments she shrives her perceived gender with ease, it's all set carefully to make me feel dissonant, jarred, unattuned, feel as if I am excluded, feel as if I am reduced, feel as if I am inadequate. I don't even like writing about it, because that requires me to think about it.
>She rips open her shirt to prove her womanhood. If I did that, you'd see smaller but similar, feminine, female, woman breasts. If you looked up, you'd probably still see a "male" face. Seeing her easily affirm her own gender despite everything else known about her, despite her "convincing" "performance" as a "man," seeing her judged on her body with such ease is an insult and dehumanizing and just plain depressing. And if you don't get that, I just don't fucking care right now.

Well, achksually your brain conceptualizes the depth of the pool better because you can actually see the bottom. If you're swimming in the middle of the ocean your brain doesn't actually register the depth at all.

Because it operates on the reddit upvote system. Socially safe comments that can be interpreted by the lowest common denominator -> good boy points -> post gets pushed by the algorithm.
