ok I think the thing about genderpeople that *actually* bothers me is that I feel not allowed to use my own gender framework around them. I honestly don't give a shit how they present, how deviant from gender norms they are, whether they wear makeup or a boy cut. (1/6)
Yeah, I agree that the way my brain processes gender is not like... forgiving. Most trans people don't have the ability to pass, espec. if they transitioned late or don't have money. I agree it can be extraordinarily painful to not look like the thing you want to.

I acknowledge that my instinctive processing of trans people as their birth gender is probably really painful to them. I feel empathy for this and if I could press a button to change my brain to process them as the gender they want, then I would do that.

I’m pretty surprised to hear you say you’d change it if you could! I think you could probably change a lot if you tried, even though you seem confident that you couldn’t.
