I hate being trans.

Less than 1% of people in the world are trans. The majority of the world views me as subhuman trash.

People are under the impression that children are easily getting their genitals altered and mutilated. This does not fucking happen - they seem to think it is a decision on a whim. Multiple fucking meetings and screenings, it's like asking "are you sure you want to do this" one million times before they even consider letting you medically transition.

Such a small, tiny amount of people and yet the media is curated and trained to spread misinformation about trans people. I want to live a normal life. I have hopes and dreams and aspirations. I have thoughts and feelings and senses like any other human being. I do not want to be killed or assaulted. I do not want to lie awake at 3 am scratching and itching at my body in the hopes that I can rearrange my skin and facial features. I do not want to feel like my brain and insides are melting because I was not born in the way I was supposed to be. I want to be happy.

But the majority of people for some reason have any fixation on people like me? What have I done? Why am I being called a pedophile and freak when all I do is study, work, eat, and sleep?

If I could press a button to make me cis, I would. Without hesitation. I absolutely would. Why would I 'choose' something that is characterized primarily by suffering? Why do people think all these blatantly wrong things?
