This photo always cheers me up a bit. It’s a front-page article from 1955 about Christine Jorgensen, one of the first women to have sex-reassignment surgery.

Since the text is a bit small and I couldn’t find a larger copy, here’s what the small blurb says:

A World of a Difference

George W. Jorgensen, Jr., son of a Bronx carpenter, served in the Army for two years and was given honorable discharge in 1946. Now George is no more. After six operations, Jorgensen’s sex has been changed and today she is a striking woman, working as a photographer in Denmark. Parents were informed of the big change in a letter Christine (that’s her new name) sent to them recently.

This article is 58 years old, and it’s more respectful of Christine’s pronoun choices and name than some publications are today. It makes me happy to see a newspaper be respectful of a trans person’s choice of name and pronouns like that :3

you're not

“don’t go on testosterone, you’ll get hairy and big” so you’re telling me I’m going to be a bear. why are you threatening me with a good fucking time. 

“what if you start balding!” there are so many hot balding/bald people. why would I care. 

“you’ll get acne” yeah and? I currently deal with acne, and I don’t think that acne makes a person gross. 

“your voice will change!” yup I’m depending on that

“what about your fertility?” my fertility is my business, not yours.

like all these concerns I have already been through with several doctors. very unoriginal. also cis guys deal with these things too. have you considered men are faced with stupid societal and beauty standards, that fact will not deter me from pursuing a more “male” body.
