Update 2

it cut off halfway so here is my attempt to fill in what didn't record

slash woops - the book i picked up was transgender history by susan stryker but i also am reading pieces out of the transgender study reader
but while we are at it:

reading list:
-the willie lynch letter and the making of a slave
-black looks
-nobody passes: rejecting the rules of gender and conformity
-why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafe
-that's revolting!: queer strategies for resisting assimilation
-whipping girl: a transsexual woman on sexism and the scapegoating of femininity
+ many many more - i want to read more written by dean spade

no you don't have you be on T - mainstream discourses within medical institutions i feel pressure you to say that you'd like to and pressure you to fit into this box of "real trans" or "fully trans" but you don't have to be on T before (or after) surgery

Questioning stuff is good but its NOT good when OTHER people harrass, yes harrass, you and CAUSE you to doubt things. Only you really know what you are and what you need but its definitely a serious issue, a very imortant decision.
