    - When, in a military environment, your only form of gender expression you can get away with is wearing the underwear of your *actual* gender
    - When said gender expression causes a backlash at the next unannounced urinalysis
    - When said backlash causes your unit to implode on itself in verbal sparring matches between the "old school" and the "politically correct," but none of them understand

    When you look at your account, and you have $26 dollars(on pay day), and your first thought is how you can't order that skirt and top off Amazon...rather than how am I going to live for a week?

    When you're always gendered correctly online because there is no body that distracts from your true self.

    ...when you completely ignore your chest when you have no clothes on...they don't exist they don't exist they don't exist

    I love the height the mirror in the bathroom has. It shows me the muscles I've gained but stops right there where my meatballs start to be visible. It's like I already had a flat chest and I can still look in the mirror.

    Ah man, that's where I'm going wrong isn't it. Full length mirrors are not the transgender's friend.

    Sometimes when the restroom mirror is steamy after a shower, I just clear off shoulders and up, then wear a towel around my waist. The fogged up part makes it look like my chest is flat and it feels nice.

    You never could imagine yourself growing up to be a man.

    That was me as a kid...but I let it happen anyway.

    So I'll amend yours and say:

    You have no idea how you let yourself grow up to be a man.

    When moving out, staying in school, and going into massive debt seems a more appealing option than staying a guy a few more years...

    when you don't want to leave an anime convention, not because it's too fun, but because you don't want to go back to using the restroom of your assigned at birth gender.

    When your heart flutters every time someone mistakens you for a guy/girl or says you look like a guy/girl.

    When you turn off a video of Kate Upton in a swim suit, because it's making you jealous.

    When your ID doesn't work anymore.

    When you fake losing your Costco membership card so they'll retake your picture

    When you think girls who say they have small tits are bragging.

    Or tall girls.

    And you brag a lot yourself to compensate for your body.

    Yes for the first part. The second on the other hand... Well, there isn't much for me to brag about.
