I think you could pass if you wanted to!! although society should accept that some people dont fit gender norms, itl take generations for that. As for going stealth im not right now but would have a different reason for doing so if i did. Survival doesnt come into it for me. good topic tho xx

Hi Aeron, great video. I think it's a super healthy attitude you have, with down playing cis-comparisons and working on your own body image. I also like trans as a 3rd gender and one the breaks open the door for 4th, 5th and 6th genders to roll in. I also love the attitude that society should learn to accept you, because frankly i;m so sick of societies standards. It's kinda scary,cause society evolves so slow, but there are rad communities spring up all over. So there are places for us now. :)

I really enjoyed hearing your perspective here Aeron. As well as the comments of others here.

I so fully agree with empowering our bodies as they are. Each life is clearly a different experience.

To be honest, I almost always get this feeling when viewing cis women that they are somehow "bigger" or something. It's so weird because I really do embrace my body and uniqueness. I even embrace a nonbinary existence, and purposely don't pass. Yet I still get that feeling. Can anyone else relate?

@Laurenkabal I would hate to think of what my life would be like if I were cis. I would probably be insanely ignorant of the world. I would probably very unaccepting of anything out of the "norm" despite being handicapped. Being trans pushed me to become independent. It made me realize how weak I was as an individual and made change that aspect of myself. Being trans in a sense saved my life.

@PaperStory I remember the days before I had TG feelings. I was so immature back then. Even though being TG brings a lot of hardship, it also brings fruits along as well. I know myself much better than before. I am a lot more open to difference than I ever could have been if I were not trans. I have realized that everything in one's life moves at a particular speed. Things in my life have always moved ridiculously slow.

@PaperStory Thanks. Everything we experience makes us who we are. The transgendered people that want to blend in as cis-women are forgetting one thing. They would not be who they are without being trans. If cis desiring transwomen were in fact cis-women, they would no longer be them.

@TheLaughingOut This is true.

Just remember that YOUR gender experience is not necessarily other people's experience. So, maybe your transgender identity is a different gender than cisgender, mine is too, but that doesn't mean that's true for everyone.
