    My aunt is transphobic and explained the surgeries to me in vivid detail. She was trying to convince me it was somehow wrong because it was disgusting and I was just like “why do you know all this?”. She claims to be so disgusted by it but went out of her way to research it.

        Yeah, all surgeries are disgusting. Ironically my aunt has no uterus, it was taken out due to cancer

          So according to her logic, it’s the body that makes you a woman. As she hasn’t all the parts that differ men from women, she’s not a woman anymore. Which bathroom does she go to? Doesn’t really matter to be honest. I’m going to sharpen my pitchfork. We ride at sunset.

            I wonder if her transphobia stems from fear of being labeled as not a woman. She is a very irrational person

              Yes, that could be it. I guess it’s hard to feel comfortable without feeling whole, but making this a problem of other people is just not the right way.
