Literally nobody I know is happy renting. They've all just accepted they can't afford buying.

My guess would be that the left ones are old and difficult to read books professors like precisely because of that, and the right are books which explain things in a more understandable way. But that's just a guess based on that that's exactly how I, as a former physics major, would use this meme for physics books.

No but if you like girls and then realise you are also a girl you can go from "I'm a straight guy" to "I'm a gay woman"

trans girls are people who were previously thought to be boys and figured out that they are a girl later.

Also, I'm choosing to word it differently than you did and I want to explain why. For many trans people, it's not so much a process of "turning into another gender", but more a process of "figuring out what gender you actually are". They might say that they have been a girl all along, but neither them nor people around them knew. So saying that they were a boy before (instead of saying they were thought to be a boy before) could be considered hurtful.

"Interessierte"? Wer unbedingt daran "interessiert" ist, das N-Wort zu lesen und rassistische Zeichnungen anzugucken bei dem ist ordentlich was schiefgelaufen

You said:

Sometimes the software does not reflect the hardware.

If gender is the software and the body is the hardware, this is kind of the "born in the wrong body"-stuff many people still use and it implies that there is a kind of hardware/software combination that fits together and a kind of combination that does not.

Could be because I reported it for being discriminating towards non-binary people because you negated their existence.

And it breaks my heart every time I hear yet another story of someone killing their own passion, numbing themselves down to the point that they become unable to enjoy what they formerly loved, just to "fit in" a society that doesn't accept deviation from the perceived norm.

Yeah I feel like that was an issue for me as well and one of the reasons I either repressed or resented parts of myself for a long time. And I'm glad the journeys I had the last couple of years (the one I described in the post and also the journey of overcoming depression) not only helped me accept those parts of myself, but be happy and proud that I have them.

You make some very good points imo

Nah, I don't subscribe to that analogy because it still implies that there are "male" bodies and "female" bodies when I think every woman's body is by definition a female body and every man's body is by definition a male body.

 

I know that it has significant meaning to me but I struggle putting it into words to explain it to other people (especially other dya cis people). So like a few years ago I was thinking about if I may be trans femme. I have since realised that no, actually I was just struggling with it for a while because I don't relate to the gender roles and expectations society puts on men. I now identify more strongly with being a man than ever before, and I love being a man in a gender-way. I just absolutely hate being a man in a "what role men have in society"-way.
