even more bluntly: What were those completely and utterly ridiculous thoughts that you had in hindsight that make you wonder how on earth you ever even managed to convince yourself that you were cis? I'll start:
I remember browsing through a bunch of trans memes on reddit (already very cisgenderly) and I kept coming across ones that were some variation on stepping out of a time machine to meet your past self as a different gender. For maybe about 2 months until I realized that it really was true, I admitted to myself and two of my close friends who are both trans women that i would just not be surprised if I stepped out of the time machine from the future as a trans woman. my only thoughts on that were basically to laugh it and say "yeah that tracks". Somehow I could admit that I think it's totally plausible to be a trans girl in the future yet still be 100% cis
anyone have any other fun thoughts like that?
One of my favorite sci-fi themes is when the mechanism of time travel is used to explore characters' refusal to accept their own selves. Dark (2019) is a very good show about that theme, and it has some trans undetones so I'd recommend it!
Anyway, sadly I don't have anything to contribute to the thread outside of that.
Here's a decent, albeit bittersweet, short manga that has a neat take on the time travel question that I really enjoyed after it was recommended here on hexbear.
oh i love that one! i think i was the one to recommend it lmao
I'm almost certain you were! Your recs don't miss
