Memes That Give JK Rowling Nightmares 

When you were a girl, you were a lesbian. Now that you're a guy, I bet you're gay the other way, attracted to guys instead. What does that say about you? Like... did you ever even think about why that is, or is that just something beyond your comprehension? You seem intelligent enough, but it's almost like you've blinded yourself to some facts about it here. The truth is, it's because when you were a girl, you didn't see yourself as one. You wanted that feminity but not for yourself, so you found it appealing in others and became attracted to it. As for the masculinity, you thought you were pretty much a guy anyway yourself, so you didn't find it appealing at all... ...but now that you've gone through the transition and you see yourself as a guy, you realise that what you thought being a man was, wasn't even the half of it. Now that you're a man, you realise the full extent of masculinity that even when you strive for, you can never fully reach. It is something you want, but it is out of your reach forevermore. Nor, by the way, do you even feel any strong particular drive towards it anymore, now that you're a man... ... but the fact that it's still something that makss one a "man" and yet is out of reach for yourself, now causes you to become attracted to it. That's what's happened

So overall, you've grown in your understanding of masculinity, which caused a change in your orientation (because unlike what Lady Gaga said, you're not even born with an orientation and it's not even set in stone). However... the other truth is, now in fact you'll always be attracted to masculinity, because there's no way you can even become that and I know this is something you're starting to realise within yourself. You see, you lack the male instinct that men have, which you don't. So now unfortunately you're stuck in between, somewhere in limbo, and so you start hating on people like JK Rowling who isn't even transphobic at all, but who just says that male insticts are different from female insticts. Both can change, both can warp, but neither can fully become the other, no matter how much HRT you inject. So you're left now with something inadequate (the idea that you're wanting to become a father as you're growing older, but having no drive or comprehension of what that is meant to be and how you're even meant to go about achieving it), and of course a constant, nagging gay attraction...

here’s a helpful tip, put your keys on one of your belt loop

I know right. Women's pockets can hold chap stick if you're lucky. Men's socks sometimes come with cargo pockets and frankly feeling everything I carry against my leg has had me wanting to get a purse. Lol

@@mx_nana_banana and your phone in a leather case with belt strap. Nokia 3310 days were amazing. Lol

I started shopping in the mens section for pants my sophomore year of high school because I didn’t like the tight style of womens pants that was so in and never looked back (except now I thrift most of my clothes so I do occasionally end up with shallow pockets 😢)

Got me on a technicality

but but ironing is totally likee... putting your clothes through conversion therapy

@@SaintxGlobalAAAAAA YES😂😂

What about the actual stripes, though? Those are straight. (This is lighthearted humor, your joke is funny.)

🫂 Thank you

I'm so glad you can be yourself more easily. I'm incredibly thankful for all of the older queer people who got us to where we are today

I feel what you're saying. I'm a millennial who didn't figure themselves out until a couple years ago. While I'm so incredibly grateful to have a job and a clinic that are super inclusive and supportive, it was also an intentional choice for me to be publicly out and have to educate or surprise people occasionally, because I want those who come after me to have it easier. I'm not mad at that dynamic at all. I don't want to be scared to exist and be seen, but I'm willing to be if I can make it out the other side and have paved the way for others later.

Thanks for... existing. Your existence helped bring us to where we are today. While it's important that younger generations (ie, me and my friends) recognize that folks in the past didn't have it easy and their fighting for their rights is how we got to where we are now, it's also important not to compare who had it worse (not that you're doing that, this is just a rule of thumb).

@@afoolishfopdoodle3284 Definitely. You guys are at the forefront of battles I could not have even imagined.

As a millennial, I am confusion and apologize on behalf of my fellow millennials 😅

I'm a millennial and I'm jealous of and happy for younger generations, not bitter. They absolutely have it easier, meaning they face less and/or smaller barriers and that's how it should be. Less/smaller barriers doesn't mean their experience isn't difficult. I faced the barrier of not knowing my gender existed until my mid 30s. I didn't face the barrier of inaccessible gender affirmation surgery. It's still flipping difficult to access and yet easier than past generations whos options were do it yourself or someone under the table who may actually want you not alive. Yes, we have to stay together. It seems that Ty is encouraging division instead of togetherness.

It's more volatile because there is so much attention on us right now, and that is part of why some people my age get so angry about what younger generations are doing, because once upon a time we could live in peace with anyone but intimate partners blissfully unaware of our existence. Unlike being in the closet gay, being transgender stealth is generally a pleasant experience for my generation because it means we pass. It would calm down a lot if there wasn't quite so much trans exposure, or in a few decades when people really start getting used to it. You wouldn't believe how many of these anti-trans people legitimately think transgender people didn't even exist until 10 years ago because they didn't happen to hear about it before then. I'm not saying my generation's feelings are the "correct ones" or anything, and I understand why some trans people want exposure, but try to understand why some of us don't too.

Exactly! I was a kid in the 90s but I vaguely remember how society treated gay people for the most part and I feel like I am reliving it as an adult but with the trans community, they’re just trying to exist and be comfortable in their own skin and the amount of hatred to the point of violence towards them is so disturbing. I can’t say that I know what it’s like for them because I am a cis pansexual woman, but it did take me a long time to come to terms with my sexuality because of the environment I grew up in.

I think every generation has their own struggles and always will. Even if these struggles do end up "easier", why not be happy for them? Isn't it great if others don't have to suffer as much?

also they are so much warmer

Not with hips like these i ain't 😔

@@pss360 that's why i said "if possible" lol. i got similar issues. im short and have wider hips and a small waist, so men's pants don't always fit right.

@@insertcheesypunhere My issue with some mens pants are with my calves, for some reason my calves are too big to fit, its like fitting into to small skinny jeans, and then the next size up is to big around my waist. However I was able to fit a specific pair of men jeans, bought 3 of the same style. So I do have to try on literally everything.

@@neon17.08 ugh. yeah bodies are weird

Wow jealous

I love how you translated this to gamer speak! Bonus feats for hidden pockets 😆. I miss my bdu's. Those had crazy pockets!

@@sarahthesarah2850 Indeed indeed!

r/outside much?

@@cathuman5463 Thank you for introducing me to this very interesting reddit community!

@@cathuman5463 Of course outside much! That is why we need to max out sewing perk for advantageous pockets! Hope you are as well as can be and are having the best day possible.

Congratulations! 🥰

I'm so proud of you, man

Yup.

As a cis woman - yup. Lack of decent pockets does peeve me off.

As a woman I can tell you I have a pair of dress pants in my closet with 4 fake pockets. I don’t know why they made them like that and I really don’t know why I bought them.

Interesting reaction

Well younger folks still have that problem to this day, I'm an 18 year old trans man and still haven't been on t. I see where you're coming from too. But there are children who have family's and communities who don't support them. While there is more acceptance just not enough not even close unfortunately. 😔

I'm in my late 50s and it is actually today's youth who helped me find the courage to come out as non-binary and pansexual just a couple of years ago. I think young LGBTQ people are awesome, and I really admire their bravery in standing up for not just their rights, but the rights of all of us.

I get that it hurts. I sure feel hurt and frustrated sometimes. But I would never think to project my pain onto people who never caused it, who are actually dealing with similar shit, if maybe in a different way. I am 40 now and even though I have been a part of the community for almost 20 years, I never stumbled upon the markers I identify with (aromantic/asexual) until about 3 years ago. I just identified as generally "queer" for the longest time, because I had no word to express my experience. Sure, it hurts to think about how that affected me over the years, but damn, the only thing I wish for is that other people will not have to live through that. Do I feel envious sometimes? Honestly, yes. But I don't begrudge people finding/exploring their identities more easily, especially in the face of what it is still like to be a young queer person in this world.

I get the pain and borderline jealousy. I feel like I've lost so many years trying to force myself into a set of gender rules that never fit, only ever playing a character. That being said when I fight for representation and equality I want it to be easier for the next generation I don't want to have to see others suffer the way I have. I want it to be easier in every facet that I struggle with, mental health, disability, sexuality and gender. If my pain and hard lessons can insure that less or no kids (god I wish) had to go through my journey my trauma would feel almost worth it. Sometimes it's hard to take a step back and see the bigger picture tho just because they don't struggle in the same way I had to doesn't mean there still isn't hurdles. There is so much hurt happening to all trans people to suggest that this is the easy version is simply misleading. Maybe easier is someways but coming out and being open is a double edged sword

Yep. But the things that make the difference are self awareness and accountability. I'm 38 and pre everything (thanks, crappy developing country and narcissists in my family of origin), and I'm pretty much green with envy looking at younger trans people, but I won't let myself to take my frustrations out on them.

Our agenda is also to live a life worth living, not just surviving.

Wait is this a public library?!

Wait so we dont get to take over the world?!??? 🥺🥺😭😭😭

Nah you have to take your titties into a mechanic for an MOT every 13 months or they’re not considered road legal
