Of course you are. That is my point ^^ Be happy being womanlike as you are now. Stop wishing you actually were one and the discontent will fade or at least subside. It won't as long as you cling to the delusion that you are a woman though.

And what am I? Should I simply accept what Nihilist_santa says about me, or what you say and not determine for myself?

If I'm a woman, and look like one, and behave like one, and am functionally like one, and feel like one. What's wrong with simply being a woman and blending in?

I certainly don't identify as a man or a tranny or shemale, or katheoy.

And why should I have to use gender to justify being who I am? Sadly the current state of affairs doesn't allow people to stealthily just be woman because people are hunting us down, trying to out us, and freak out over bathrooms and what DNA we were born with, want to deny us employment, healthcare, force us into the streets, and beat us to death.

I feel like a woman, my license says F, and I use the womans restroom, and the doctors treat me as if I'm a woman.

Though if I was truly respected for who I was than people wouldn't make me jump through giant flaming hoops to establish that.

I really can't explain it, I think everyone suffers some form of discrimination at some point, especially woman who are told lots of things when their children and men who they should and shouldn't be, what they should and shouldn't aspire to. But for some of us it's really bad enough to make us suicidal/hide from the world/kill us.

I'm grateful that's slowly changing, and that many woman and men accept me for who I am rather than trying to label me with something I'm not.

It's been a lot easier to assert that I'm a woman than it was to assert that I wasn't. The judge I sat before, and my doctors, and the people I interact with most all gender me correctly. Not because of fear of reprisal, but because they got to know me, and realized it was pretty dumb to try and call me something I'm not. Hence my transition has gone a lot smoother than someone who is much less feminine.

But being a woman isn't about how pretty or feminine someone should or could look or what size their boobs are, ironically that ties back into the lady's rant in the OP.

How you look doesn't make you a woman or prove your womanhood. There are like I said lots of natal woman who are far less effeminate than me. They are still woman in my eyes. Just as much as anyone else is [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
