So full disclosure: I am not trans but I have a legitimate question. Why is there so much pressure on trans people to put themselves into one box or another? Isn’t the recognition of gender fluidity supposed to free people from sex-based boxes and social norms? This is not me saying at all that people shouldn’t be able to express themselves as they want or shouldn’t be able to identify in whatever way makes them most comfortable, but I find it hard to reconcile these two sides to what I see as the same coin. Maybe you could provide some perspective to me? I wish you the best and hope you get some good answers from people much more knowledgeable than me!

Used to scroll endlessly when bored but now I try to force myself to open up a book on my Kindle app when I have free time…or I gett on Lemmy/kbin 🫣.

Currently making my way through The Guns of August. It’s pretty dense compared to what I usually read but something about the writing style makes each chapter fly by faster than expected!
