    Doing okay I guess. Got harassed on Twitter yesterday by some right wing chud claiming that I’ll always have male genitals (really hope he’s wrong and I’ll be able to get surgery in the future 😭 )

      I think they might mean that even if you get surgery, the neo-vagina is still “male genitals”. This comes from a warped “normative” view of the genitals, that even if you have a vagina it’s like you “should” have a penis, so the underlying truth is still that your genital sex is male, even after surgery. It’s an unfortunately common default view people have, that what you “really” are is what your genitals are, and that this is inherent and essential and unchangeable.

      Either way, I’m sorry you are being harassed, I hope you blocked them and ignored it.

        Their exact words were “You are a freak who is pretending to be a woman, you are a man and will never be a woman” I then told them I’m getting bottom surgery to correct the problem they said “That’s not a thing, you were born with a penis and testicles and you’ll always have a penis and testicles. Facts over feelings.” I can’t say what they said afterwards because it had a lot of slurs. Suffice to say they weren’t smart enough to be saying my genitals will be male sex, they just meant I would always have a penis.

        Yeah I did block them, and reported them. Doubt anything will happen to them for it though. Twitter sucks.
