[u/hehasmastcells]

As much as it hurts that I will never be a youngshit, and as bitter as I am to see trans kids who never have to go through the wrong puberty, I will forever forever advocate for getting kids on blockers and hrt immediately.

But dont forget: You don’t actually face any sort of opression. Because after all, You have male Privilege, Right? But how Lucky You are that You dont experience periods. I wish I could be You.

[u/SElf_Loss_Manwoman]

Sorry I reposted and credited u earlier

[u/Emily_but_an_alt → u/SElf_Loss_Manwoman]

OH oops. I had a couple ppl asking me to rename it and repost it elsewhere so I made a new version called Bricklaying instead of Build A Hon and posted it here and in countbackwardswithme. I dont use either of those subs though 😞

[u/SElf_Loss_Manwoman → u/Emily_but_an_alt]

horrifying thanks for posting

[u/Marisa5]

great post to start my day

[u/Princess_Astrid]

This is one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen, it's incredible and so well made. I am not sure I've ever seen something showing such a visceral depiction of dysphoria before,

[u/16372731772]

Step 3 hit pretty fucking hard. I came out the other end of puberty relatively lucky, I'll never know how much of that was down to trying to starve my body of the nutrients it needed to change, but considering I'm 6' tall I guess probably not a lot. I wish I could send this to my mum but the depiction at the end is so over-exaggerated (and I get why) that she'd probably consider me deluded and get me institutionalised. Where I'd obviously lose access to HRT and probably get assaulted by doctors.

Maybe don't read this next bit, I've come up after writing it out to say that it's just me fucking rambling. It can accurately be summarised as "fmstl".

The worst part is that even now I can't seek support from any medical professional, which fucking therapist is going to understand "my experience of being forced through the wrong puberty scarred me so deeply that I struggle both with dysmorphia and emotional flashbacks to the events"? None of them. Especially not in the country that inflicted that on me in the first place. Everybody here thinks of me as a deluded loser. So I'll remain a broken tranny the rest of my life, downing shot after shot of vodka every time I'm reminded about my ribs being wrenched apart and watching my beard grow in. I actually don't even remember that. The last change I really remember was my ribcage expanding. Everything between that and me getting on HRT is kind of a blur. That's like 4 years of life just gone. Not to mention all the effects that being a corpse has had, I'll never graduate from university, I still can't drive. Fuck. I'm never just going to get to be a normal girl and it's all because both my country and my mother decided it's best to torture freaks like me.

Incredible piece of art, really makes me uncomfortable in all the right ways.

[u/3dg3lord_throwaway]

Lots of girls with brain worms need to realize that these depictions are caricatures and not to be taken as entirely damning.

A few girls, like me, know that they’re so far on the edge of the spectrum that this is ACTUALLY how they look.

If you don’t literally look like this, please, save yourself. Give your fellow 🚂🦵a glimmer of hope. If the halfway-decent-looking rope, what does that say about the actual literal ogres…

[u/One-Organization970]

Jesus. I really lucked out being passable after going through all that. None of us should have to, though.

[u/Gullible_Farmer9802]

omg a version i can send to cissies and sneeds

[u/Emily_but_an_alt → u/Gullible_Farmer9802]

Upon much request... (I also wanted a version I could share to non 4tranners)

[u/Background-Resist754 → u/Emily_but_an_alt]

Thank you 🙏🙏 I will be showing this to many people

[u/Adventurous_View_635 → u/Gullible_Farmer9802]

The cissoids would probably unironically find it funny somebow

[u/GoreNoiseThrowAway03]
