    How many trans people would choose to be trans, instead of being assigned the gender they’re transitioning to at birth? Obviously that doesn’t really work vor enbies, but AFAIK enbies are a minority among trans people.

      i would not be who i am without my life experiences transitioning. asking me to imagine being born differently is asking me to imagine being another person. no, i would rather be myself.

      there are many, many enbies. while the amount is probably below 50%, they are trans too and their experiences should not be sidelined.

      Heck, that would have worked for this enby, but after two years of hormome therapy the dysphoria isn’t as bad as the social anxiety from living in this nightmare country.

      Me. Before I transitioned, and in my early days of transition, sure, I’d have made that choice if it were available to me. But now, years in? Fuck no. I don’t want to be cis.
