    Sorry, nope. Do not want.

    Specifically, do not want the following:

    • menstruation, cramps, PMS etc
    • beauty and dress standards
    • condescension
    • social expectations of conduct
    • lower pay and sometimes a hostile work environment (can go for anyone depending on the job - see male nurses)
    • clothing without pockets - you can take my cargo pants from my cold dead hands.

    Do want (but does not in any way make up for above):

    • more colors and patterns in my clothes
    • giving birth is kinda cool

    I genuinely thought this was true in middle school and got confused when my friends didn’t want that (it was still true for me though I’m totally cis you can tell by the way I am)

      Yeah, I was pretty much convinced of the same thing while still in school: How could my class mates not want to change their gender? It’s the most amazing thing in the world to do! Who would say no to that?

    I mean that should be pretty obvious. Why would you want to have an oily face? Why would anyone want to look like a rectangle and look like an ogre? For real tho, who?

    EDIT: changed likw to like (written in italic 🇮🇹🥖🥐)

      I had quite a few friends who were girls who struggled with all of those things, that’s not a healthy view of womanhood

    I mean, I really don’t. I’m not particularly gung-ho about being male, but I don’t think I’d be happier as a girl because my problems stem from socioeconomic stresses, rather than anything to do with my gender perception or body image.

    If this is a joke, I don’t get it. A lot of people don’t really care much about what their gender is

      The joke is that the “egg” is under the impression that they are cis and that every cis male must have those same feelings.

    How did you all figure this out for yourself? I mean, what made it click?

      I knew something was up when a friend came out to me and I realised it was possible to be something other than your assigned gender.

      5 years later, I’m reading an article about a non-binary person and bam, it all made sense.
