This is Gilbert. He’s been around a while. Attributes his long life to many, many years of always getting what he wants

Well, now I'm a Gilbert fan. That sly villainous grin and squint…

never stops being existentially horrifying to realize that someone you're talking to thinks that there is any kind of biological basis for "race" like the amount of people who are like 'racism is bad, of course race is a real scientific thing it's just bad to treat people differently because of it' and it's like no there is no biological or scientific basis for race it's purely a social concept. a dark skinned black person and a very pale white person can share more dna than two black people or two white people like it's all made up you can't tell someone's genetic or biological makeup just by looking at them. it's all socially constructed and there are massive consequences for this construction but anyone who tries to say that there is any kind of scientific basis for race whether they're knowingly purposely racist or trying to be "progressive" is wrong and realizing that someone you're talking to in a completely benign situation dead seriously thinks that such a thing as a "white race" actually scientifically exists is so terrifying

“I wish I could be a boy” You can

“I wish I could penetrate but I don’t have a penis” There’s a surgery for that

“I want to piss standing up” The surgery does that too, but also have you heard of an STP device? You should look into those

“I like the effects testosterone could give me but what if people think I’m ugly after I start” would you rather be happy and ugly or beautiful and miserable

“I want to cut my hair short and look more like a guy but everyone is begging me to not cut my hair” bestie, it’s your hair and they can go fuck themselves

“I wish I was born a boy” The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is today

“I wish I was a boy” I have great news for you

After a number of comments about “actually testosterone won’t make you ugly”, I feel the need to clarify my choice of words here. Cause I actually don’t think T makes anyone ugly; if you ask me, every trans guy and nonbinary person I’ve seen go on T made them hotter cause you can See the sudden boost in confidence and comfort in their own skin going on.

But the target audience for this post is that one egg trans guy who’s scared to even consider it, who’s got dysphoria eating away at them but also fears how others will react. There’s people both in and outside of the queer community who tell pre-T trans guys and egg trans guys that T will make them uglier, that they’ll go bald and be covered in acne, that they’ll ruin their good looks. And when you’re in that position you might think “well, I’d love to have a beard and deep voice and a tdick, but what if they’re right?” And telling that person “hey you’ll still look hot, don’t worry” doesn’t really… address the problem here. You’re still placing value on the later attractiveness, and they’re still going to worry that maybe you’re wrong.

So I’m cutting the knot here and saying that what’s important isn’t even how hot you are later. Maybe you’ll be uglier. I doubt it, but who cares? You’re miserable now no matter how you look, do you really want to ditch a chance at feeling good about yourself just cause you might lose some hair? Maybe you could stand to love yourself more than you love others’ perceptions of you.
