[transguythoughts]

Praying to any higher power that may exist that the trans people I stare down in public get my telepathic message of “Hey! Hi! You’re like me! Hi! Omg another cool trans person you’re so cool! Please speak to me, your fellow transgender!”

Praying even harder that should the telepathy be interrupted, the vibe does not come across as “I am a meanie transphobe and I will stare at you until you get out of my god-fearing midwestern grocery store.”

So I never told this story but last year I went to get my yearly physical, it was the first year I was with that new insurance so it was a new doctor I had to see. So I go in and everything seems normal, they treat me like a lady that I am until they ask when the last time I had a period was.

Being amab, I don't get them. So I told them truthfully (though if I had bottom surgery before that time I probably would've lied) and the entire tone shifted in that office. It was like they suddendly found out I was secretly a bomb that they needed to diffuse.

My doctor comes in and is like "yeah looks like your completely healthy here we don't need to check your privates (or do anything where hed need to touch me for)"

At the time I was just happy that I passed and was treated as a woman, but now I can see it was just that I was icky and they didn't want to make any physical contact with me.

So like, ew.
