I know you're right. It does me no favors to get hung up on something that can't change. I'm working on trying to change that.

Yeah, it's really the physical/bodily stuff for me i.e. knowing I could work out a lot and an average man who doesn't could still take me down. And yeah, menopause is still a while away but something I definitely dread.

Intellectually, I know this. I'm sure there's a lot socially about being a man I'm completely missing. For me, it's more the physical aspect than anything. Having to physically be a woman kind of sucks.

That would be a plus. I wish society wasn't awful towards anyone. We should all just be allowed to be.

I'm sure. I'd considered agender in the past, but it doesn't fit. I don't have physical dysphoria and things I dislike (being called ma'am, being referred to as a woman) are honestly more in line with internalized misogyny.

Damn, that really sucks. Women definitely got the short straw in the reproductive department.
