❌ "I wish I was a girl."
✔️ "I would like you to transform me physically into a girl."
There, that should do it 👍
Both wrong options, you should say this instead
. Transform me me physically painlessly into hatsune miku without any consequences and no documentation issues.
I mean, you get to relive childhood as a girl and if you keep your mind you can make better life decisions.
very tripy being madure in a world of inmadure peple for such a long time, better erase my memories
I think the genie still has wiggle room on the second statement.
how?
- Turns you into a child
- Turns you into a female animal
- Turns you into an already living person
- Turns you into a girl with severe physical disabilities
- Turns you into a trans woman with no surgery or HRT, since that's still a girl
- Turns you into some archaic definition of "girl"
Probably some other options as well
That's why you gotta burn one wish on forcing the genie to answer all your questions truthfully, satisfyingly, not exhaustively but still without leaving out any crucial information. Then you ask them how they would interpret each of your hypothetical wishes. You can also learn the truths of the universe this way.
Alternatively you just befriend itMy second wish was always to wish for more (and better) wish-fulfilling genies, because I'm a little shithead. I also get stressed out about the implication of genies. Like genies must mean that there is an afterlife, and so if I choose not to do what is for the common good, am I then dooming myself to burn in hell because I - by inaction - have chosen to let billions suffer?
Yeah because on the other hand any wish I make that "saves the world" will basically require me fundamentally restructuring the lives of most everyone, probably also including their mindsets - basically enslaving others to my will. That's also not good, but if I just focus on my self am I being selfish?
Genie: Dude I dunno, just wish to be a prince or something, don't worry about it lol
“Well you see, genie, you said you would make one of my client’s wishes come true. But as you acknowledged - nothing changed, because it was already true. So therefore, you didn’t make a wish come true, so she still has another wi-“ [my head gets cut off by a magic scimitar]
"You don't need surgery. You're already a girl...."
Shut up and give me my vagina liberal!
This is why I dislike the whole "You were always a girl!"
Line... I get that you're trying to be supportive, but if I was "always a girl" I'd have never had dysphoria in the first place and I could have had a normal life instead of this nightmare
I feel super fucking bad for arguing about this and i don't want to invalidate your pain here, but ... idk, it's exactly the other way round for me. Or maybe i just have different words for it, and we're actually on the same page here, but i need to share this. So sorry in advance if i come off argumentative or contrarian. I'm not, i mean you no harm, and i am not interested in calling your view of being trans into question, i just want to contribute my own.
The fact that i always was a girl, but couldn't understand myself as one and live as one explains most of the pain, trauma, relationship disasters and other life failures i've had to endure. My entire biography doesn't make any sense at all if i assume otherwise, i can only view what's behind me and who i am as a coherent whole when i accept the fact that i've always been a girl. No, not physically, but that doesn't determine who i am. Girl isn't a biological term describing a human body, it's a psychosocial category, an identity and finally a way to view and understand myself. The entire incongruence / dysphoria follows from the fact that i'm a girl, but in spite of that didn't get born with a sufficiently female body to safely harbor that identity and make it recognized by others, and the way i'm slowly fighting my way out of that is to alter my body to the point where it fits these needs and where that scared, angry, sad girl that was trapped inside me for all these decades and now finally has come out can grow up to be the woman i always should have been.
yeah, def how i conceptualize it too. plus there were just too many 'oh fuck' moments from my youth, like remembering asking teachers about what happens if i were to take estrogen or insisting to my mom that i was a girl many times. honestly its a little more of a depressing conceptualization, a lot of people fail you, especially as a kid, over many decades because they didnt read the obvious writing on the wall
It never was that obvious for me, the picture only became clear in hindsight when i found the last missing puzzle pieces. But yes, almost every trans person i know could've known earlier, could've been helped earlier. Even today, when knowledge is so widespread that a ton of us realize who they are during puberty, i see so many of us that get failed by their parents, their schools, the medical system.
We grieve the lives that were stolen from us in different ways I suppose.
super relatable, i also don't really enjoy blunt force support like that. it feels too close to whitewashing the shitty parts of being trans or something, idk
My life, and possibly all life in general, is too complicated to be band-aid fixed with an empty affirmation from some after-school sitcom's "Very Special Episode"
