      Depends on where you start. My mental state was pretty fucked before, and while I can’t say my self confidence is amazing, you shoulda seen it then. Definitely not for everyone, tho.

      I think the person who made this list did not grow up as a girl.

      Are you trying to argue that us trans women aren’t real women you disgusting pig?

        You are on a hair trigger, friend. No one’s trying to reject you or hurt you.

        Your meme didn’t land with some of us, that doesn’t make you any less valid.

        The meme implies the list of benefits simply comes with being a woman, not just from transitioning as a trans person.

        If you’re trans, every step of transitioning to your real gender is a real improvement to your life and health.

        But if you’re not trans, or are trans, but FtoM or just look at it a little different…

        The meme is rubbing people the wrong way because it mixed up the improvements that come from transitioning as a trans person, with being a woman being better than being a man.

        If you were assigned male and transitioned or started transitioning to female, of course your life and health will be better!

        But you accidentally implied being a woman automatically solves a bunch of problems that women absolutely can and do still have, and that the problems men have are caused by them being men.
