dear mr. "if estrogen is your primary hormone, you're allowed into our secret big man club by invitation only": you're an idiot. here's a clue: not all of your guy friends want to be on the T. also, not all of your guy friends want to drink beer like it's vitamin water and bite animals to reinforce the "packing" order. freudian, indeed.
i think your slip is showing, asshole.
why can't kate bornstein be required reading before any hormone therapy begins? i swear to GOD. it's like these boys get The Drug, and that's it. manhood in a vial. no work required. lowest common denominator wins again.
and then to turn around and tell ME that because i'm what, 80% estrogen, that I'M not wanted? let me tell you something: those select female friends of yours are the ONLY reason we come to your fucking frat house. it certainly isn't for the sparkling conversation. and heh, leave the drama at the door? i'd guess so. guess it gets a little crowded, what with your bullshit and all.
i can't believe i care this much over something so stupid. i really can't. after The Ex, you'd think i'd expect this behavior by now. i think, though, that it's all the times you made my boyfriend feel like shit in front of everyone for not drinking the right thing, or taking the right amounts of the right drug, or having the appropriate surgery, or the correct amount of muscle mass. i've turned my head since the day you rolled into town with that trash you called a girlfriend. fuck YOU. he suffers because of this shit. did you think about the OTHER guys whose primary hormone IS estrogen when you lumped them with the womenfolk and posted it online?
i still, after all this time, cannot believe that there are people that would go through everything that transition entails and end up mentally a slightly higher life form than hot dog water. how do you get through the process without any sort of real reflection? why go through all of that just to end up some stereotype? you make me want to throw up my hands, but i'll defend your rights to the death. because for every one of you, there is one like my boyfriend, who reads and thinks and feels and will, i have no doubt, use the manhood he grows into to create change. he's finding his own way, not following his best bud around all blindassed. he's taking the time to do it right, and in the meantime, adding a little self-respect to the mix.
foreign concept, i know. maybe someday y'all will give it a shot.
