This isn’t helping to motivate me in applying my BSE degree I earned years ago lol. I’ve been pretty content with my current WFH job, even if it’s unrelated to software development. It sure does seem like there are many inflated egos in the industry and I’m not sure if I have the patience to navigate them. That’s not to say I’m better than they are, but goddamn the pissing contests in any arena get tiresome.
If comfortable, could you or someone else who is trans try to explain the feelings behind transitioning to me, a cisgender? I support trans rights and maintain the philosophy of live and let live (dare I say, true individual freedom as a leftist); I’m just trying to better understand for my own sake.
More specifically,
Is it a matter of societal forces imposing masculine expectations because of your physical characteristics when ultimately, what you feel deep down are effeminate characteristics of the true you? (Or am I wrongly assuming that one is transitioning to another gender and not instead to non-binary?)
If yes to the first, if society was more receptive to, say, masculine women or effeminate men at face-value, would that have made you more comfortable prior to transitioning?
If no, I’m interested in better understanding how this sort of realignment for lack of a better word improves the feelings of gender dysphoria if it’s more an internal pressure than one imposed upon you by society.
In terms of physical attraction, are say MtF by the statistics more attracted to M or F, or is it split, are the bisexual/asexual/pansexual, or is data unclear? Is the aspect of gender dysphoria entirely decoupled from the notion of partner attraction (gay, straight, etc.)?
Hopefully I asked these in a way that is both respectful and makes sense. No pressure to respond, thanks.
Great choice, and cheap compared to others!
The standard valentines is close to cholula sauce for a fraction of the price.
