Hi Elijah,

Why do you think I can't be a moderate gender critical feminist?

Why don't I call myself a man? I'm not a man.

I have no idea if I would be happy after a sex change; that's unknowable.

Why don't I cut off all my hair and wear men's clothing? I'm not sure that liking long hair is evidence of a gender identity. Many women have short hair; plenty of men have long hair. I think I wear women's clothing partly due to social constraints, but tbh sometimes the idea of men's clothing is appealing, especially given that women's clothing is designed to put more pressure on women to maintain a certain weight. It might be an interesting post-pandemic experiment to try to present as a man in public for a day or two and see if it triggers any dysphoria.
