I'm just so bored with body swap films never actually exploring any of the interesting aspects of body swapping - and always assuming that nobody would ever actually want to swap bodies. There's so much drama and comedy (or horror) you could mine out of that and they never fucking do
I want to vent about how much I hate the cis-centric body swap film formula
Anonymous User asked: How does one decide whether to medically transition? I've been "out" as a transgender man or as nonbinary to everyone in my life (including both parents, my doctors, friends from high school, people I meet at a cafe if they seem friendly) for years and years now but I can't seem to decide if I should pull the trigger on hormones or surgery or both.
[This is a very personal decision and there are no wrong choices and your gender is real no matter what you do or don't do, and if you change your mind that's real too; all things are possible when you understand you never deserve adverse consequences, internal or external, for Doing Gender Wrong.]
DO IT.
This was exactly my experience too, spending years umm:ing and aah:ing about whether I wanted to transition. Around this time two things happened that swayed me: a friend gave me pretty much the exact advice as in the original post - and I read Julia Serano's Whipping Girl. I decided to give it 3 months and see how I felt then.
I felt amazing, I loved it, I never ever want to stop.
Also, "I simply do not think that way about things I actually don't want to do." is such a perfect encapsulation to help clarify that state of mind.
