Sometimes I look down when I'm reading a book or whatever and I'm like "ayo, boobs, incredible!" you would think after nearly a decade the novelty woulda worn off, but uh I guess I'll never get tired of the "soft curve". Hydrodynamic, as Maryam calls it...

Why though? I'm kinda like, if gender is hugely culturally constructed, why so pleased to have boobs? They do not do anything, they're arguably inconvenient? Idgi, but my brain sure does.

One of the weird things about my existence is that I didn't really spend a second thinking about it when I first discovered what transition was, I just went "k imma girl now" and followed my gut. Good instinct, very cool of me, but it means I have done almost zero critical thinking about my own gender, ig.

Lack of usefulness was definitely something I thought about as an egg, wondering why cis women would want them. Still confused about gender, but decided to finally try out HRT and worry about the details later. Just wasting years trying to rationalize the irrational won't help.
