I have to choose in the future between my dream career and bodily happiness
Watched Top Gun again today. the first one. they have both of ’em in theaters for the 40th anniversary. I first watched maverick in 2022 when it came out and I instantly thought I wanted to be a pilot, preferably military because it fits. I’ve always wanted to be in the military, multiple family members were vets, and then I could also be a pilot. dream secured, yeah? study hard everything I’ll need to know, do what I can until college and stuff?
nah. not only are we now all barred from ever being deployed in the military because “history of gender dysphoria and gender affirming care”, but if I were to get phalloplasty or anything, something I’ve fucking dreamed of for just as long, no way I’d get to be a pilot. Things would have to align so perfectly for maybe even a shot at being a military pilot and ever having any sort of gac. It isn’t gonna happen when it’s my time to start working on getting to the military. no way.
Living in this world is a damn curse. Choose to have a penis and more testosterone, as a guy, or pursue your dream career and have to be a “woman”? fuck no. I can’t live as a “woman” and I haven’t had any desire to be. Nobody even gives a damn about this dilemma in my family. My mom hangs onto the idea I’m gonna change. No, I’m just gonna be out of her life if she keeps this shit up.
No career I want to pursue is one that I can. Sports? No way all the people who hate all trans athletes would be quiet. If I compete in the mens and got a decent place, they’d claim I’m at an advantage for taking T. if I didn’t get too high of a place? “it because women are so weak compared to men! They get their asses handed to them!”. military of any kind? can‘t with these laws. I already lacked hope for the future, this just brings the numbers down to zero. good thing I have a secure career path of rotting in bed until I die lmao. all I’ve ever been allowed to do.
