So I’ve been thinking a lot about why the system transitioned and I think a great deal of the motivations aside from a desire from gender euphoria came down to sheer MOTHERFUCKING spite and wrath at people pointlessly gatekeeping others from activities on the basis of perceived biological sex. So by that logic, if we ascribed to any “deadly sin” about our transition, it would be gender wrath.
However, the way we ended up didn’t fall under any sort of easily “clockable” binary. We are often mistaken for transfem when we are DEFINITELY not transfem, we are very much some flavor of transmasc to transneutral and most of us are quite secure in that, Allēna aside, who identifies as woman adjacent and always has. So we often find cis people’s complete incompetence when it comes to correctly assessing our gender OR biological sex absolutely fucking hilarious, especially when they claim “they can always tell” what’s in someone’s pants.
This entire train of thought led to me picturing someone attempting to gatekeep me from an activity, saying “you can’t do this, you’re a BOY!! Uhhhh. You’re a girl!! No, wait! You’re a boy!”
And then me casually flashing them a thousand watt smile and saying, “Actually, I can. I have a permit,” then handing them the permit, which reads,
“Permit. Expiration: Never.
FUCK. YOU.
I do what I want.”
Would it work? Probably not.
Is it a hilarious mental image? ABSOLUTELY.
