    I genuinely thought this was true in middle school and got confused when my friends didn’t want that (it was still true for me though I’m totally cis you can tell by the way I am)

      Yeah, I was pretty much convinced of the same thing while still in school: How could my class mates not want to change their gender? It’s the most amazing thing in the world to do! Who would say no to that?

    Sorry, nope. Do not want.

    Specifically, do not want the following:

    • menstruation, cramps, PMS etc
    • beauty and dress standards
    • condescension
    • social expectations of conduct
    • lower pay and sometimes a hostile work environment (can go for anyone depending on the job - see male nurses)
    • clothing without pockets - you can take my cargo pants from my cold dead hands.

    Do want (but does not in any way make up for above):

    • more colors and patterns in my clothes
    • giving birth is kinda cool
