I put the frames together into a single image for Lemmy’s sake. Originally from exaheva.

This one just broke me…

Transcription:

  1. In a parallel universe, I’m a cis girl.
  2. I live a normal life. I love to party, I love to sing. I love to meet people.
  3. In this universe, I don’t think about gender stuff and all. I don’t think about all this, really.
  4. I shave my legs sometimes, and only rarely my armpits. Because I’m a feminist.
  5. I dated guys, it didn’t always go well, it’s normal. Now, I think I’m bi. But I’m not really experienced with girls.
  6. Had some one-night stands with dudes I met on Tinder. I don’t remember their names.
  7. I once wondered what it would be like to be a man and thought it would be cool to walk the streets alone at night, unafraid. But the idea of being a man also disgusts me.
  8. I think I’m not really pretty (bc of my nose) but I feel OK with makeup on, and I know that some people finds me attractive so… yeah…
  9. I once met a trans girl, she was trying her best. I told her she was valid, there’s a lot of different body types and stuff, she smiled a little, I think, but she didn’t talk to me much.
  10. Guess she’s discovering it’s not easy being a girl. Or maybe she prefers to stay with other trans girls. I don’t know.
  11. She was a bit weird anyway, not very friendly. Is it okay to say that?
  12. Anyway what was I saying?
  13. And regarding the future… I have a lot of projects. I’m saving money to go to Japan. I still don’t know if I’ll have a baby one day though.
  14. When I think of all this, the future… the past and all… I think I loved my life so far! I have no regrets.
  15. In a parallel universe, I’m a cis girl. And I never think about parallel universes.

    Somewhere along the line, I stopped wanting that version of me.

    That version of me that sees a trans woman and can only offer awkward support? The loss of solidarity, and community…

    That would be such a loss…

      I saw a similar comment elsewhere, and I (mostly) agree. It just… wouldn’t be me. And I’m pretty sure I’m a better person than my hypothetical cis self, just from the added perspective, if nothing else.

      But still… if only…

      (At least this version of me did move to Japan :3 )

    It’s hard imagining what my life would be like if I was cis. I’d have probably still been undiagnosed AuDHD, plus I’d be bi and have definitely struggled to come to term with that fact. I’d still have broken friendships and failed loves. I’d still have been raised woke and been devastated and scared by the direction my country has gone.

    On the other hand, I’d have been in a lot more relationships, as before I fully transitioned dating always felt wrong. I’d probably be doing better career wise and would’ve graduated college on time instead of mucking about finding myself for 6 years only to end up with nothing to show for it. I’d probably still have gotten radicalized, but I would probably have a more liberal outlook if I had a more established career. I wouldn’t be as wise, but I would have a safer and less troubled life.
