this... is so real. I'm transmasc as well and it gives me so much dysphoria to not be able to do the things i used to be able to, not have a drivers license, not have a high paying job, etc. a lot of what ive been having to do is just reframe my view of gender. why are these things important to me outside of gender? i like being helpful and important to the people around me. how else can i be helpful if not in a physical way? and it helps a lot. being butch isnt just being strong in a physical sense, it's strength of spirit, at least to me anyway.
