Many have boarded this train despite lacking that mythical certainty…
The doubts may plague you till the day you utter those cursed words and make it real…
The universe may continue to constrict, snuffing color from your finite existence on earth…
But many have boarded this train, so why can’t you too?
I have doubts of how possible it is to accidentally fake being trans. Back in my darker days when I hug out with terrible people (and also was one) I had friends who attempted to do just that to “infiltrate trans groups” and for almost every one of them it backfired and they ended up coming out as trans in one way or another.
So I think it’s more likely to fake being cis than to fake being trans.
Wait, are you serious? People actually attempted that, only to crack?
Yeah it happened to friends of mine, well I stopped being friends with them back then because I was a terrible person. I had lots of dumb transphobic explanations for why they “switched sides” but really looking back with what I know now. It’s as simple as, anyone who “wants” to be trans just is trans. If they have a lot of transphobic prejudice they may go forward to “prove” it’s a choice but they’ll learn quickly that it isn’t, once they’re hit with the euphoria, or the dysphoria, or both. That’s when it becomes apparent how little of a choice it is.
