      In addition to angry, I also felt intensely jealous. "Why do trans people get to transition when I secretly want to transition but can't?"

      I held all that inside because I was embarrassed, and I didn't want to be laughed at, and I was ashamed.

      The most freeing moment of my life was when I finally had the thought that no one was stopping me from transitioning but me.

      I literally stopped dead on the street with the thought "I could just say I was trans and transition. No one could stop me or say I wasn't."

      It was many months after that that I decided to go forward, but giving myself permission to just be trans if I was trans was a breakthrough.

      I think it's one that some people don't or can't have. For me, I'm immensely glad my fear of being laughed at wasn't so strong, in the end.

      Perhaps it's implied, but the greatest fear was of being an imperfect or unconvincing man. An effeminate man, a very short man.

      Coincidentally(?), these sorts of things are harped on by TERFs. But they can't hurt me now. I'm short & sometimes effeminate. AND IT'S OKAY

      Which Radical Feminists go on about height or effeminate appearence in trans men?

      There's one website in particular that posts pictures mocking small things like that- hip size, feminine appearance.

      But when I get into discussions with them it always comes up, that I'm simulating masculinity poorly and everyone is laughing at me.

          Always a no-win situation, ofc. If I'm patient my soft inner womanness is showing, if I lose patience I'm aping hyper-masculinity poorly.

          It's dehumanising. & project of Feminism as I see it is to free everyone & allow to be human without gender conditions & conditioning.

          It doesn't even work by Feminist logic, which is that all masculine ppl are simulating an image of wot society currently sez is masculine!

          For me, I think can't hav it both ways. Can't be critical of gender as construct & institution then mock ppl for their individual gender ID.
