Sometimes, even in purportedly transfeminist spaces I'll hear shit like "you shouldn't voice train, you should love your natural voice" or "you shouldn't shave your legs you should appreciate your natural leg hair the way cis feminists do" and it all feels predicated on the idea that the puberty I went through was "natural". And like, when you put aside the artificialness of the natural/artificial binary, you can still make a good argument that the puberty I went through was not natural at all. Yes it was the product of letting my hormones do their thing unassisted, but it was also the product of the deliberate suppression of transgender medicine, in a modern world where all of my other medical needs are taken care of. The puberty I went through was just as much the result of Nazi book burnings and Reagan's murderous AIDS policies as it was the result of my physiology.
