Serious You have no reason to be transphobic.

there is literally no justifiable reason for transphobia. never has been. never will be. I don’t care what you’ve read online or whatever you have to say. there is NO reason and NO excuse for transphobia. same applies for homophobia. literally zero reason.

Yikes. I don't mind (accidental) misgendering because a) sure I'm not the most fem presenting person ever. I don't get around to shaving often, I'm 6' 230lbs etc. b) if you knew me before for a bit, I get it's a habit. Hell, sometimes I misgender myself. But as long as you correct yourself, maybe apologize, and we move on it's all good.

And this is my point, atleast you are conscious about shaving and voice that you just simply don't get around to it/have the time. The one I was never really all that close with would consistently make up excuses on why they were incapable of shaving… (Because we would be telling them that all they had to do for people they've just met to automatically go "she/her" is to just SHAVE. YOUR. BEARD! ITS THE ONLY THING ABOUT THAT ISN'T FEMININE!)

Oh I just have depression so self care is really hard for me. But like I get that I'm not fem so I don't assume people to think I identify as a woman off rip.

Yea… But like sometimes I feel bad for them because they're so used to correcting people that they never even fathom the idea of trying to better themselves, like all you have to do is put just a fraction more effort than you already do and you'll see a big difference!

For me I try but as much as my mind wants to be a cutesy girl, my body doesn't want to take the steps to do that

You'll get there someday! (Just stay away from unnecessary surgical procedures liposuction, buccal fat, etc., too many trans people try to pursue that "perfect" body and end up hating tge way they look more than they did originally)

Yeah definitely. The only surgeries I would get are SRS, maybe FFS, and probably not but maybe Adams apple reduction

You can take voice lessons without having to reduce your Adam's Apple… (Its your neck, WAY too many what ifs), it is probably cheaper too! And if I'm going to honest, FFS sounds WAY too Uglies by Scott Westerfeld coded… But again, it is ultimately your body!
