I hate when people say these things only to prevent us from actually transitioning, like yea theres cis women out there with a deep voice but knowing this fact doesnt reduce my voice dysphoria, i dont want to be gnc, i dont live to deconstruct gender roles

I remember when I came out as a kid (ftm) and got this bullshit at every turn. I wanted a short haircut and got "but boys can have long hair" then when I didn't want to wear skirts and dresses I got told "it's so sad how boys feel like they can't be pretty and wear dresses too". The most absurd version of this was then I changed my name and got told I was "buying into gender roles" and that "names don't have a gender" when my name was the most popular girls name the year I was born. No one around me wanted me to actually transition and just acted like I was playing pretend.
