I dislike the gender button question (hexbear.net)

I am still very early in this whole process, and there is still a lot of self doubt, so I am reading a lot of literature on "Am I trans" and dysphoria.

One concept that people often like to propose in these ressources is the button that makes you the opposite gender, and, crucially, also makes everyone else believe that you have been that way forever.

I don't really like this, because my time as a boy/man is part of who I am. I would not be me without it, and despite all of the problems I had and have due to my gender, it is still part of who I am. I fought through all of this and worked to find out who I want to be by myself. I wouldn't wanna be cis, and I also don't want to cease being the me born out of this struggle.

And like... You could do it arbitrarily, you didn't do it once.

Yeah, like one day I could be a sleek androgynous cyber ninja, and then the next day be a super cute and fluffy hybrid tiger-girl. That would be amazing.

Guess maybe vr will have a solution to this issue eventually 😔

With stuff like VRChat it already kind of does.
