(If a TERF you'd probably add in what a terrifying menace I am to true females in female spaces.) Aren't you just against the idea of transition full stop? Why pretend this is about specific details of my transition when really it's about your wholesale rejection of trans people?

Let's move from microaggressions to true macro-idiocy. People sometimes adduce pre-transition pictures and videos of me as evidence that I couldn't possibly be the gender I say on them. To this I say: you know, it's called "transition" for a reason.

The allegation seems to be that I'm pretending to be cis. Basically it's transphobic trope #1: "trans people are liars." In my case this seems especially odd, seeing as I make videos where my male body transforms into my female body through the magic of editing, etc.

Weirder still are the confident armchair speculations that I'm not really trans—"he certainly has no medically diagnosable dysphoria"—and am making the whole thing up (hormonally annihilating my sex drive, growing breasts, etc) just for, oh I don't know, laughs I guess.

So for one thing, my doctor apparently disagrees with your Internet assessment (unless she's also in on the whole joke, which would be interesting).

For another: if your conclusion that I'm not trans is based on my online activity (and it must be since you don't actually know me), I'm wondering: what could I possibly do to convey transgenderism more convincingly? Like, what is the thing that trans people do that I don't?

(I realize I'm responding to trolls here, my goal is to entertain the audience.)

I saved the best for last: I sometimes get comments and messages (often very long ones divided into thick paragraphs) from absolute strangers claiming to be concerned that transition is the wrong choice for me and that I'm making a terrible mistake.
