It’s why the media has such a tight grip on what is considered body beautiful, it plays into our own insecurities and then rather than just accepting ourselves we spend money on ridiculous diet fads and emotionally binge eat when our will-power breaks. Point to a woman who likes every aspect of her body and I would see either a liar or someone in denial. Are there things about me I’d like to change? Definitely. I wake up every day as a woman, and always have done. However now that I have accepted myself and am in the literal process of getting myself together I think the real answer is the fact that I do not have to press the button. Then as I started accepting those parts of myself the thought of living a life free of guilt and fear and all of these military planned exercises to test my boundaries and experiences would have me slamming my hand on that button repeatedly! I literally could not see myself belonging anywhere. Every choice we make has a consequence, we cannot remove them no matter how much we wish to, when I was first questioning I wasn’t sure how I saw myself because I had buried my feelings so deep down that I could not answer the question honestly. The problem of course is that it is a loaded question. My answer to that has kept changing all the time. When I first started questioning my gender and was taking every online gender quiz I could find I often saw the question, “If you could press a button and wake up tomorrow as a woman, and society would interact with you as a woman, with no negative backlash physically or socially from work or friends and family would you do it?”
