idk why we forfeited "born in the wrong body" just bc transphobes willfully misconstrued it as a metaphysical claim. if u don't play dumb it's clearly a stance-contingent normative or emotive claim, like "going to college was the wrong decision" or "this stanza's wrong, needs revising"

i suspect the phrase is also facially compelling to a lot of well-meaning low-info cis people. instead of folding when fash accused us of making supernatural claims, we might have appealed to the fact that everyone believes in better & worse states of affairs. everyone knows pain sucks

i'm biased tho as one of a dwindling number of freaks who simply enjoy the phrase. i was born in the wrong body in the way my perfect, beautiful, stupid goddamn aloe plant, which keeps fucking tipping over every time i walk by, is clearly planted in the wrong pot. seeking aptness is no shame
