"Clearly correct" is when you just say the same thing over and over and then call people delusional. It's wrong.
Is something less true if it's repeated? I don't understand your point. I don't even think she was being particularly repetitive either
How is saying "they literally dont they literally dont they literally dont" not repetitive?
But okay, pick up Tomboymoder's argument then: what is the innate womanness that cis women have which allows them to just WAKE UP THAT WAY that trans women do not have?
There is no such thing as "innate womanness," but obviously very few cis women put effort into appearing female. That is simply how their bodies and mannerisms will be viewed by others by in their default state. It's correct to say that most cis women have to put effort into appearances, but the vast majority of those that don't will still be seen as female 99% of the time. You're trying to convince her that there's an equivalency between this and what she experiences when there's not. Cis women don't put effort into "being girls," which is what her comment was about.
She said that her sisters still effortlessly pass as women after waking up, which is obviously correct, and someone said this was "a couple steps away from doing phrenology," which is absolutely absurd. It's not a fair comparison at all, and she was at least more correct to recognize this than to think that she's seen the same way as her sisters
You dodged the question, though - I'm interested in what you see as the essential woman-ness of her sisters that she lacks.
The difference is if my sisters don’t put effort into their hair, don’t do make up, throw on a pair of baggy clothes and don’t shave the little amount of facial hair on their lip they have enough of the other traits we deem “female” that no one is gonna think they are a dude.
I don’t understand why this is controversial? I’m not an idiot, I know intersex people exist, I understand some woman have some traits more associated with the other gender.
None of that changes what I said.
Right, so like... you have more facial hair than them? That's the innate difference?
Like what else would make people think you are a dude but not your sisters?
My body, my face, my voice.
Well, you can change your voice... but wait, your body? So this is truly you blasting your dysphoria at people aggressively?
You gotta realise that there are cis women with faces or bodies much like yours though, surely.
Thank you
absolutely
cw: some self-loathing and maybe internalized transphobia depending on your viewpoint
Honestly, I do often wish I had just been born differently and didn't have to go through so much effort just to feel like myself. I'm glad there are so many people here who love being trans, but while I don't feel any shame about it and it's definitely part of my identity, I don't think I could ever say I prefer living this way. I don't know if that's how you feel, but I wanted to get it out there, because while the positivity here is mostly a good thing, I feel like it gets to be too much sometimes
