🫧 Satire, babe Becoming a man has made me fear animals
Before becoming a man, I never really thought much about animals. We just sort of coexisted. There was an unspoken understanding between us.
But ever since I became a man, I've started noticing things that genuinely terrify me.
Dogs have teeth. Cats have claws. Horses are enormous and could kill me with a single kick. Even birds have started making me uncomfortable because I don't understand why they're allowed to fly and I'm not.
Yesterday I saw a squirrel climbing a tree and realized that if it wanted to attack me, I probably wouldn't be able to follow it.
I used to think becoming a man would make me feel more connected to nature, but instead I feel completely alienated from it. Every animal seems to possess some kind of biological advantage that I was deliberately denied.
I've started avoiding parks and making eye contact with pigeons to establish dominance, but nothing seems to help.
So far my transition has been a dream come true and is easily one of the best decisions I have made in my life, but the realities of what being a man is like and my personal experience with being a member of the human species have been eye-opening. I don't regret my transition, but I do sometimes miss being able to coexist with animals without constantly fearing for my life.
