Almost 3 years ago now, surfing around r/traaaa I came across this comic. I just liked the community because I thought trans people had some great memes and sense of humor, and I thought it was pretty cool that people stepped out to be themselves... Then this. Just wanted to share.

Now there is a possibility that I am trans, but does it honestly matter if I don't transition and live my whole life as a guy ?

Self knowledge is worth something on its own. There are plenty of trans people who live as their assigned gender and have no plans to transition. There’re valid reasons for this and safety is a big one, physical, social, and psychological alike.

I present as my assigned gender because the fluidity and androgyny I’d prefer is very difficult to achieve for various reasons. I still get a lot out of understanding my dysphoria as such and doing tiny little subjective things that feel gender affirming to me throughout my day.

It’s also helped me massively just in terms of my self worth and in terms of dealing with my body dysmorphia.
