I put the frames together into a single image for Lemmy’s sake. Originally from exaheva.

This one just broke me…

Transcription:

  1. In a parallel universe, I’m a cis girl.
  2. I live a normal life. I love to party, I love to sing. I love to meet people.
  3. In this universe, I don’t think about gender stuff and all. I don’t think about all this, really.
  4. I shave my legs sometimes, and only rarely my armpits. Because I’m a feminist.
  5. I dated guys, it didn’t always go well, it’s normal. Now, I think I’m bi. But I’m not really experienced with girls.
  6. Had some one-night stands with dudes I met on Tinder. I don’t remember their names.
  7. I once wondered what it would be like to be a man and thought it would be cool to walk the streets alone at night, unafraid. But the idea of being a man also disgusts me.
  8. I think I’m not really pretty (bc of my nose) but I feel OK with makeup on, and I know that some people finds me attractive so… yeah…
  9. I once met a trans girl, she was trying her best. I told her she was valid, there’s a lot of different body types and stuff, she smiled a little, I think, but she didn’t talk to me much.
  10. Guess she’s discovering it’s not easy being a girl. Or maybe she prefers to stay with other trans girls. I don’t know.
  11. She was a bit weird anyway, not very friendly. Is it okay to say that?
  12. Anyway what was I saying?
  13. And regarding the future… I have a lot of projects. I’m saving money to go to Japan. I still don’t know if I’ll have a baby one day though.
  14. When I think of all this, the future… the past and all… I think I loved my life so far! I have no regrets.
  15. In a parallel universe, I’m a cis girl. And I never think about parallel universes.

    As a trans gal, this comic made me cry (in a good, ugly bawling way). Thank you for your support ❤️

    The baby part especially calls to me 'cause it’s the thing I want most, to carry a child myself, but I can’t.

    My cis partner is really supportive but it hurts. They can carry, I can’t. I’ve seen animals give birth, I’ve seen other people pregnant. Someone I know had numerous miscarriages, which is horrible to go through. She eventually did get pregnant and gave birth, though.

    There are uterus transplants (and even protocols for how to do so with trans women!), but so far only one has been done for a trans woman - and that was way back in the 1930s. Meanwhile, there have been a few hundred for cis gals with live births. I want to claim that right as well. I want to raise a family and let the child that I might never see, explore the world. I want to write a letter to it and let it be taken by the wind and rainbow.

    I want a future in where all people can get an abortion and anti- and contraception freely, a future in where all who want to carry, can do so, a future in where people are born within loving families rather than being neglected and abandoned, or worse, taken in by harsh nuns, priests, and fascist abusers.

    I want a future in where I can fulfil my dream and where others can do so too, with great labour and personal rights. I think a lot of cis women are actually also great allies, it’s just harder to relate to our issues.

    But that I currently so far can’t give birth or abort, doesn’t mean I can’t support others who can. That I don’t smoke, doesn’t mean I can’t sympathise with people trying to stop with that. And likewise, cis women and men can support our cause, even if they don’t understand it. Because if we are happy, they are also the merrier and freer for it.

      Your reply is so beautiful! It made me teary-eyed.

      I hope the inclusion of trans women in uterine transplant research increases because, as you say this world desperately needs more good and loving mothers.

      The undermining of trans rights is a huge problem for all of us, as it directly impacts how involved the government and other institutions are in policing our bodies.
