I would like to just ask some questions of cisgender people. If you are a man, think back to when you were a child:When did you know you were a boy?How did you know you were a boy?How did you know other boys were boys?How did being a boy around other boys make you feel?What if you had constantly been called a girl?What if every time you tried to assert that you were in fact a boy you were told you were wrong, that you were lying, and that you were going to get in trouble if you kept saying that.What if you were forced to wear pink dresses all the time?What if you were given dolls whenever you asked for action figures?What if you were told not to climb trees because that wasn't very ladylike?What if you'd gotten your ears pierced before you could stand up on your own or say a single word?If you are a woman, think back to when you were a child:When did you know you were a girl?How did you know you were a girl?How did you know other girls were girls?How did being a girl around other girls make you feel?What if you had constantly been called a boy?What if every time you tried to assert that you were in fact a girl you were told you were wrong, that you were lying, and that you were going to get in trouble if you kept saying that.What if you weren't allowed to play with the girls because it "wasn't appropriate"?What if you were given action figures whenever you asked for dolls?What if you were told to stop crying because crying was girly and if you didn't stop they would give you something to cry about?What if you were spanked for heading toward the dresses in the clothing section?If you can't answer these questions because you never really thought about it, ask yourself why you never thought about it. #Transgender #Cisgender
