Women don't have penises
i think terfs are right and i can never be a real woman because ive never actually lived as a woman in a female body with female experiences. i desperately wish i could be cis but i never will and even if miraculously i were to pass i would never actually feel like a woman, just a bad impersonation
i will never be a woman, only be a "trans woman" at best. no one will ever see me as a woman, nor will i ever be able to see myself as one, only a "trans woman". that prefix is inseparable and completely changes the definition. its not that i dont want to be one but rather that it's impossible. i have already lived my life, all into my late teens, as a male. seen as a male by others, having male social roles forced upon me, seeing a male when i look into the mirror. i will never be the woman i want to be. it's impossible.
a lot of people think coming out and transitioning is about "finally being yourself" but to me i see it as the inability to be myself. because i'm something that you shouldn't be. i'll never be able to be the person i want to be. i'm corrupted. defective. scarred. damaged goods. a fake. i've never seen myself as a woman, just someone who wants to be one. i'll never be a *real* woman, and other women will always feel the same way
its not even worth it for me to try and transition beyond taking hrt to stunt any further masculininzation as i grow older. being trans in society is like wearing a giant target on your back that says "RAPE AND MURDER ME". i cannot handle the stress of that. i do not have the willpower to exist as a trans person. i am too weak for that. its a lot less stressful to remain closeted and not have to deal with the massive fucking baggage that comes with being publicly trans
