    The fact that I get so much freedom to choose who I am. I get to choose where I want my voice to sit, how far I want to push my body into being feminine, my name, my gender presentation, etc.

    Sorry to be lewd, but the sex is great. I’m just an average guy and no one would know I’m trans, but I feel so privileged every time I have sex and it’s just easier than cis gay sex - no need to fast or prep for bottoming, we can just jump into it on a whim and it feels fantastic for everyone involved. I absolutely love the changes to my body and feel so comfortable and confident when having sex. And the orgasms are world shattering. 10/10 would be trans again if given a choice between being born trans or cis.

      That’s an interesting take. I never would have thought about it like that. I’m a straight trans dude and constantly worry about how sex is gonna work.

    A lot of what I like about myself, personality-wise, partially stems from the experience of being trans. I think I would be less compassionate, less free-thinking, and less fun person without all of this. There’s hard parts, obviously, but I would never for a second trade my life for a different one ❤️

      Definitely. Being trans means to question everything that society has told us since birth, everything that’s been prescribed. I also feel like, as a white man, I’d have a whole lot less of an understanding of the oppression that racial and ethnic minorities face if I weren’t trans.

    Looking in the mirror and seeing a version of myself I thought impossible 5 years ago. Not necessarily a trans-exclusive feeling but still quite amazing to experience
